Airdate: May-Jun 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Born Free motor coach!
A pair of diamond earrings!
A cozy bedroom!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $202,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Shari Davis: Rehabilitation counselor for the Illinois Department of Rehabilitation, from Carterville
Gordon Selkirk: Junior majoring in advertising in Hawaii, hopes to enter a position with an ad firm when he graduates
Clara Cole: Barmaid, from Norristown, PA

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

Round 1

TITLE

SHARI	Gordon	Clara
$200: N (DUD!)	$300: R (DUD!)	$500: D (DUD!)

$750: T $800: B (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$250: M (DUD!)
$750
$400: L (x3) -$250: O $400: S (DUD!)	$400: P Free Spin! $500: W $750: K Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,700	$1,650

TITLE

Gordon solves PILLOW TALK.

Shari	Gordon (FS)	Clara
	$1,650

Time to rest our heads and wait for a prize to come in. That prize is a holiday in Perugia, Italy with Baci chocolates (labeled TRIP), a "chocolate adventure" worth $4,329.

Gordon might also enjoy an ice-breaking adventure with the $2,500 space.

Round 2

SAME NAME

Shari	GORDON (FS)	Clara
	$500: N $350: D -$250: A (x3) $200: S (x2) -$250: I $300: T (x2) $200: H (x2) -$250: E (x3) $250: B (DUD!)	$400: R (x3) Solve: Correct!
	$1,500	$1,200

SAME NAME

Clara solves TREASURE AND HAIRY CHEST.

Shari	Gordon (FS)	Clara
	$1,650	$1,200

That's not chest hair. That's dust, and we need to clean it off the $3,500 space before it goes on the Wheel!

Round 3

PHRASE

Shari	Gordon (FS)	CLARA
		$400: T (x2) $600: H -$250: E (x4) $700: R (x3) $250: N -$250: I (DUD!)
		$3,250
$3,500: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
$7,000

PHRASE

Shari solves PULLED THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER ME.

Shari	Gordon (FS)	Clara
$7,000	$1,650	$1,200

Don't you dare pull the rug from under us while we carry in a American of Martinsville oriental decorated room with Waverly bedroom ensemble (labeled ROOM) worth $5,758.

Shari did pull the rug from under the competition, and now she can take things further with the $5,000 space!

Round 4

PLACE

SHARI	Gordon (FS)	Clara
$400: S $900: T (x2) $1,500: N (DUD!)	ROOM! $300: R $200: P (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $350: M (DUD!)	$5,000: L (DUD!)
$2,200	$300+
$5,000: C (DUD!)	$500: X $300: B (x2) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,200	$1,400+

PLACE

Gordon solves BATTER'S BOX to keep the room.

Shari	Gordon	Clara
$7,000	$8,828	$1,200

It's a home run from Gordon, but how about another? We're gonna play another room *SLAP!* I mean another round.

Round 5

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Never mind. We must slap Gordon's hand, as it's time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece. Gordon may start!

Gordon: R ($600)
Clara: T (DUD!)
Shari: N ($600)
Gordon: S ($1,200)
Clara: L ($1,200)
Shari: C (DUD!)
Gordon: P (DUD!)
Clara: F (DUD!)
Shari: B (DUD!)
Gordon: W ($1,800)
Clara: D (x2) ($2,400)
Shari: G ($1,200)

PHRASE

Shari solves OVERWHELMING ODDS, though the odds were against a better spin.

Shari	Gordon	Clara
$8,200	$8,828	$1,200

BONUS ROUND:

What are the odds of Gordon winning a bonus prize? We think they're very good!

Break time, and then Gordon picks...

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Up to bat in front of the puzzle board:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

CMHI does a little bit.

THING

He's silent and does not solve BRIEFCASE, and he realizes the answer with just the B. Gordon leaves with $8,828 in cash and prizes.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna thank Charlie for his announcing. He's fine, and Pat and Vanna are fine. That takes care of their 10 seconds.
