Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Regal Velocity boat!
A $68,000 3-karat diamond ring!
An RV package!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $211,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Theresa Palmer: Homemaker and mother of two, from Pointe-Claire, QC
Pat Bach (female): Works for a biological research foundation in central Florida, from Sebring
Roland Engel: Resident physician in radiation oncology, from Broadview, IL

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

Round 1

PERSON

THERESA	Pat	Roland
$1,000: S $200: T (DUD!)	$150: N Lose A Turn!	$150: H (DUD!)
$1,000	$150
$150: D (DUD!)	$150: L -$250: O $400: R (DUD!)	$400: P (DUD!)
$1,000	$50
$200: M -$250: E $400: C (DUD!)	$350: G $250: B Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$950	$650

PERSON

Pat solves MEL GIBSON.

Theresa	Pat	Roland
	$650

Okay, maybe we did pull a death-defying stunt just to find a Wheel prize. It's worth it if you can win a Laguna Arts Festival holiday with Tivoli Terrace Restaurant dining and original watercolor (labeled ART) worth $2,700.

The first round was just worth solving, but this time, it's worth it to aim for that $2,500 space.

Round 2

PHRASE

Theresa	PAT	Roland
	$700: T $200: R (x3) -$250: E (x3) $700: S (DUD!)	$200: F (x2) -$250: A (x2) $750: N (x2) $350: B ART! $150: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$1,050	$2,300+

PHRASE

Roland solves BEFORE DURING AND AFTER to keep the art holiday.

Theresa	Pat	Roland
	$650	$5,000

Before, you could only dream of it. During, you gotta hit the $3,500 space. Otherwise, you might regret what happens after.

Round 3

QUOTATION

"I guess if there were a semicolon, we'd get a standing ovation."

Theresa	Pat	ROLAND
		$500: S Lose A Turn!
		$500
$400: N (DUD!)	$250: T $400: R (x2) -$250: I (x3) $250: F -$250: O (x6) $400: D (DUD!)	$250: M (x2) $300: C (DUD!)
	$800	$1,000
$700: P (DUD!)	$700: H (x7) Solve: Correct!
	$5,700

QUOTATION

Pat solves HEIGH-HO HEIGH-HO IT'S HOME FROM WORK WE GO.

Theresa	Pat	Roland
	$6,350	$5,000

We dig and dig for prizes...but we need a break from that. Let's try a City Lights holiday at the Drake in New York, St. James Court in London, and Hotel-Pullman-Saint Jacques Left Bank in Paris (labeled TRIP) worth $11,019!

Just whistle while you win, or simply strike silver with our $5,000 space.

Round 4

PHRASE

THERESA	Pat	Roland
TRIP! $300: N (x2) BANKRUPT! ($11,619)	$700: T (x4)
	$2,800

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

So the shift is almost over. All that's left is for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $900 a piece.

Pat: R (DUD!)
Roland: S (DUD!)
Theresa: L ($900)
Pat: D (DUD!)
Roland: M (DUD!)
Theresa: G (DUD!)
Pat: H (DUD!)
Roland: C (DUD!)
Theresa: P (DUD!)
Pat: B (DUD!)
Roland: Q (x2) ($1,800)

PHRASE

Roland solves QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.

Theresa	Pat	Roland
	$6,350	$6,800

Sure, a "quality" spin followed by one spin too many, but it was too early. And now, there's nothing left for Theresa but nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

It's time for Roland to look at a quantity of quality prizes in Bonus Land! Here's our list:
RV package (over $31,000)

African Safari holiday (over $30,000)

Boat (over $42,000)

Diamond solitaire ($68,000)

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

Roland's quality prize will be...

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

And here's our quality puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

HDMI gives away the first word.

THING

After saying LIGHT HOLD, he solves LIGHT BULB to keep the cash! Roland leaves with $31,800!

In the post-game chat, Pat wonders if Vanna's microphone got lost. It has fallen into "uncharted waters"...until Vanna reaches into her own dress and finds it. "It's the Bionic Woman, ladies and gentlemen!"
