Airdate: Sometime in June 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A $57,000 custom Modena 250 convertible!
A pair of diamond bow earclips!
A Schafer & Sons Lucite piano!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $247,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Arlene Vasquez: Labor and delivery nurse, from Miami, FL
Tina (not Tino) Palumbo: Teacher's aide, from Lansdowne, PA
Bill Albert: Medical technologist, from Oklahoma City, OK

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

Round 1

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

ARLENE	Tina	Bill
$250: T (x4) $400: L (x2) -$250: I -$250: E (x2) $350: H $300: C (DUD!)	Free Spin! $150: R $400: M $900: P Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,650	$1,450

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Tina solves THE LITTLE TRAMP. Don't break that Free Spin token, Tina!

Arlene	Tina (FS)	Bill
	$1,450

We need complete silence on the set, or a crew member could rip apart the wedge for a John Deere mower and Mallin patio table and chairs (labeled PATIO) worth $2,952.

Now, we wait for some noise when someone lands on the $2,500 space.

Round 2

SAME NAME

Arlene	TINA (FS)	Bill
	Lose A Turn! (Free Spin used) $250: N (x2) $250: D (x3) -$250: A (x3) $800: M -$250: I $400: T -$250: O $200: L $700: S (x2) $450: G -$250: E (x2) $250: R $400: P (DUD!)	$400: Q $400: C Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	$3,750	$800

SAME NAME

Bill solves SQUARE-CUT AND LEGS DIAMOND.

Arlene	Tina	Bill
	$1,450	$800

Bill came for a larger cut of the money, and he can take it if he hits the $3,500 space.

Round 3

PHRASE

Arlene	Tina	BILL
		$3,500: S $250: T $900: N (DUD!)
		$3,750
$400: R $3,500: L -$250: O (x2) $500: F -$250: E (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	-$250: I (DUD!)
$4,150		$3,500
Lose A Turn!	$300: D (DUD!)	$600: C (DUD!)
$4,150		$3,500

$6,000

PHRASE

Arlene solves STAMP OF APPROVAL. Three rounds with three winners meets Pat's approval.

Arlene	Tina	Bill
$6,000	$1,450	$800

Our next prize meets Charlie's approval like the earlier one. You'll want to spin a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring diamond and gold bow earclips (labeled JEWELS) worth $9,500!

Wasn't it obvious that the $5,000 space would meet our players' approval?

Round 4

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

(The Speed-Up bell overlaps the reveal chime.)

"Oh my goodness, this just sounds like a Spike Jones recording!" It also means Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece. Tina starts.

Bill: H ($800)
Arlene: N ($800)
