Airdate: Sometime in June 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A tour of Africa!
A Jeep and pair of motorcycles!
A $68,000 diamond ring!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $212,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Ron Agen: Deputy fire chief for the major fire department in Bethany, OK
Maurice Frelo: Flight attendant for "a very nice very major airline"
Jenee Pane: Works in sales for a major telemarketing firm, from Dallas, TX

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

Round 1

TITLE

RON	Maurice	Jenee
$200: S $300: T (DUD!)	$200: R (DUD!)	$700: N (DUD!)
$200
$800: C -$250: A $900: G (DUD!)	$250: L (DUD!)	$150: M (DUD!)
$750
$200: H (DUD!)	$200: P $200: K $200: F (DUD!)	Free Spin! $200: B (x2) $200: D -$250: O $300: Y Only vowels left! Solve: Wrong! (Free Spin used) Solve: Wrong!
$750	$400	$650
Solve: Correct!
$750

TITLE

Jenee guesses PUCK'S BAD BOY, and after using her Free Spin, she tries PICK'S BAD BOY.

That allows Ron to solve PECK'S BAD BOY.

Ron	Maurice	Jenee
$750

You came for a very nice very major prize. This is very nice, at the very least - a trip to Germany and stay at Dusseldorf Hilton (labeled TRIP) very much worth $3,290.

That round wasn't very nice. This puzzle isn't very major, but the $2,500 space is! It's also very sparkly!

Round 2

EVENT

Ron	MAURICE	Jenee
	$300: N $200: T $300: R -$250: E -$250: A $750: L (x2) -$250: O $400: V TRIP! $150: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$2,250+

EVENT

Perfection! Maurice solves LANDSLIDE VICTORY to keep the "dancing trip".

Ron	Maurice	Jenee
$750	$5,540

Pat accidentally says $5,450 for Maurice's total, but he corrects himself after the break.

He shouldn't expect a very easy victory right now, because we're only halfway through. Jenee might show us her "happy dance" after a $3,500 spin.

Round 3

THINGS

Ron	Maurice	JENEE
		$3,500: S $900: T -$250: E (x2) $200: N (x2) -$250: A (x4) $500: R -$250: I -$250: O $500: M (DUD!)
		$4,350
$700: D (x2) $450: H Lose A Turn!	$3,500: C (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,850	$7,000

THINGS

Maurice's day keeps getting better as he solves CANDLES ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE for all that money.

Ron	Maurice	Jenee
$750	$12,540

We could just pretend it's your birthday. Any excuse to win a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a polished gold bracelet with pair of flowers (labeled BANGLE) worth $11,500.

Ron can unwrap some extra winnings with that $5,000 space!

Round 4

PERSON

RON	Maurice	Jenee
$500: N (x4) Lose A Turn!	$5,000: D (x2) -$250: A (x3) Solve: Correct!
$2,000	$9,750

PERSON

Maurice solves SONG-AND-DANCE MAN for even more quick cash. But that's all the quick cash that he can spin.

Ron	Maurice	Jenee
$750	$22,290

Jenee was nearly there in Round 3, but it slipped away, while Maurice was also quite tough. Jenee is now leaving with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Maurice dances his way to Bonus Land for one more prize, and this time, it's a very major one!

RV package with Jeep Cherokee and Harley Davidsons (over $31,000)

African safari (over $30,000)

Regal Velocity 230 XL boat (over $42,000)

Diamond solitaire ($68,000)

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

Maurice picks the "Good ol' American cash"! What does Charlie say now?

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

We'll see how good he is with one of these puzzles:

Bonus Puzzle

NICKNAME

RSTLNE gives him:

NICKNAME

CMHA lights a few consonants.

NICKNAME

He says MATER, MOTOR, METER, MITER...before solving MOTOR CITY at the last second for the money! Maurice finishes with $47,290 in cash and prizes!

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna play around on the African Safari set. Can you feel the realism? Vanna hasn't actually been to Africa, while Pat has been to Liberia. However, he says there isn't really any wildlife in Liberia, as it's mostly in the east.
