Airdate: May-Jun 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A $50,000 motorhome!
A pair of $29,000 Van Cleef & Arpels earclips!
A $48,000 Jaguar XJ6!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $203,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Cynthia Wilkerson: General dentist, from Chicago, IL
Scott Trussler: Junior at University of Oklahoma majoring in political science and hoping to work with the State Department.
Jeff Phillips: Letter sorting machine operator for the postal service, from Jacksonville, FL

Pat asks Cynthia one question: If you'd change the name of the procedure from "root canal" to anything else, it won't be as terrifying...but Cynthia just calls everything painless.

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

Round 1

PHRASE

CYNTHIA	Scott	Jeff
$750: N (DUD!)	$400: T $200: R (DUD!)	$800: S $250: M (DUD!)
	$400	$800
$400: H -$250: E (DUD!)	$1,000: L (x2) -$250: O (DUD!)	$1,000: Y (x2) Solve: Correct!
$150	$2,150	$2,800

"Vowels have been painful here" ...says Pat in front of a dentist.

PHRASE

Jeff solves PHYSICALLY FIT.

Cynthia	Scott	Jeff
		$2,800

Time for our painless procedure with the Wheel. We're just adding a Pacific Sun La Jolla outdoor furniture collection with Char-Broil gas barbecue (labeled PATIO) worth $2,897.

The real pain comes from the addition of the $2,500 space, but damn, is it worth it!

Round 2

THINGS

Cynthia	SCOTT	Jeff
	$250: S (x2) $200: R (DUD!)	$300: N (x2) -$250: I $2,500: G BANKRUPT! ($2,850)
	$500
$400: T (x3) Lose A Turn!	$200: K (DUD!)	$2,500: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,200	$500	$5,000

THINGS

Jeff solves DEATH-DEFYING STUNTS.

Cynthia	Scott	Jeff
		$7,800

"Mr. Physically Fit" knows he needs to build a healthy score. He might want to show off even more with a $3,500 spin.

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

Cynthia	Scott	JEFF
		$200: R (DUD!)

$1,000: R (Repeat)	$900: S (x7) $600: P (x2) -$250: I (x4) Solve: Correct!
	$7,250

BEFORE & AFTER

Scott solves JESSE JACKSON MISSISSIPPI, and now he feels like showing off.

Cynthia	Scott	Jeff
	$7,250	$7,800

Let's not forget about Cynthia, and let's not forget to add a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a diamond and sapphire diagonal ribbon ring (labeled RING) worth $9,000!

Round 4

PHRASE

CYNTHIA	Scott	Jeff
$400: S (x2) BANKRUPT! ($800)	$600: T $3,500: N (x2) -$250: A (x2) $450: X Solve: Correct!
	$7,800

PHRASE

Scott solves STRONG AS AN OX, and now he's the strongest.

Cynthia	Scott	Jeff
	$15,050	$7,800

But does he feel strong enough, or does he have the urge to build up a little more with the $5,000 space?

Round 5

PEOPLE

Cynthia	SCOTT	Jeff
	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$250: R (x2) $500: N (x2) -$250: E $300: S (DUD!)
		$1,250
BANKRUPT! ($0)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$900: L -$250: O
		$1,900

The slide whistle sounds about two seconds late after the first spin.

PEOPLE

DING DING! DING DING!

Oh! That sound. Time's running out, so Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece.

Jeff: T (x2) ($3,100)

(Cynthia tries to spin.)

Cynthia: C ($600)
Scott: A (x2)
Jeff: M ($3,700)

PEOPLE

Jeff solves ROMANTIC TRIANGLE.

Cynthia	Scott	Jeff
	$15,050	$11,500

It's just another painful procedure. Cynthia had to spend the whole half hour here, but she's going home with only the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Scott won't be pulling any death-defying stunts on his way to Bonus Land, but once he's here, he can look at these:

1989 Jaguar XJ6 (over $48,000)

Trip to the Orient (almost $39,000)

Motor coach (over $50,000)

Diamond earclips ($29,000)

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

Scott's picking this...

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

We hope this puzzle won't break him.

Bonus Puzzle

PERSON

RSTLNE gives him:

PERSON

Scott will try DMLA...

Uh oh! The upper trilons light up just as we realize that L was part of the original six. He changes to C, though it doesn't make a difference.

PERSON

He guesses REDD DUKE, and REDD DOGG. Scott does not solve REDD FOXX, so he's leaving with $15,050 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna talk about the display for the Orient Cruise. There are two foo dogs, and Vanna tests Pat to see if he can identify a male and a female (and it's not that the female is out shopping). The male has a ball/globe, while the female has a puppy (a baby foo dog). "I guess we went to different biology classes."
