Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A four-seasons greenhouse solarium!
A pair of $43,000 diamond watches!
A $63,000 real show biz piano!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $240,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Annette Williams: ~~Representative~~ Receptionist for "the major insurance company", also does voiceover work for Channel 22; from Santa Rosa, CA
Ed Soto: Works for an international freight forwarder, and he wants to act (but it doesn't pay much); from Eddystone, PA
Tracy Kincaid: In radio sales for "the largest syndicator of radio programming", and also on "the worst" team in a bowling league

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

We know this prize can't possibly stick to the roof of your mouth. It's a trip to Mexico with stays at the Crowne Plaza Mexico City and Acapulco Plaza (labeled MEXICO) worth $3,089.

Stuff your face with some cash from the $2,500 space, because it might not fit in your hands.
