Airdate: Sometime in June 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A state-of-the-art Four Seasons greenhouse!
A LeRoy Neiman Windsurfing oil painting!
A Modena convertible!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

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

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Kathy Doherty: Registered pharmacy technician with a major drugstore chain, from Rockford, IL
Bill Page: In the Air Force for 11½ years before his departure, and now he's looking for a different job in management; from Las Vegas, NV
Claudia Hess: Works with an airline as a reservations agent

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

Round 1

PHRASE

KATHY	Bill	Claudia
Free Spin! $200: S (x2) $700: T (x2) -$250: I $700: H (DUD!)	Free Spin! Free Spin! $400: N (x2) $200: D (DUD!) (Free Spin used) -$250: E (DUD!)	$700: R $200: L (DUD!)
$1,550	$550	$700
$300: G -$250: O (x2) $400: F (DUD!)	$400: B Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,600	$950

PHRASE

Bill solves BURST INTO SONG.

Kathy (FS)	Bill (FS)	Claudia
	$950

Maybe a musical prize would've made you burst into song, but we'll have to stick to a 10-day vacation at two of Yugoslavia's resorts (labeled TRIP) worth $3,232.

We'll try to make your wallet burst with our popular $2,500 space.

Round 2

PLACE

Kathy (FS)	BILL (FS)	Claudia
	$300: N (x3) -$250: I (DUD!)	$450: R (x3) $400: L (x2) -$250: E (x3) $400: M -$250: O (x2) $250: T (x4) $350: C Solve: Correct!
	$900	$3,400

PLACE

Claudia solves RENT-CONTROLLED APARTMENT.

Kathy (FS)	Bill (FS)	Claudia
	$950	$3,400

No, we are not about to cap your potential winnings on this show. Hit the $3,500 space as many times as you like!

Round 3

SAME NAME

Kathy (FS)	Bill (FS)	CLAUDIA
		$500: N (x2) $250: D -$250: A (x3) $150: R (x2) $300: S (DUD!)
		$1,300
$300: P (DUD!)	$1,000: T (x2) -$250: E -$250: I $300: M -$250: O (x2) -$250: U $300: L $150: G (x2) $500: B $200: Y BANKRUPT! ($2,600) (Free Spin used) $600: H Solve: Correct!
	$600

SAME NAME

Bill reads what's on the board. He wanted more, but "one spin too many" got him.

Kathy (FS)	Bill	Claudia
	$1,550	$3,400

Would you dare go "one spin too many" after picking up a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring a black onyx, gold, and diamond penguin pin (labeled PIN) worth $9,500?

At least Kathy still has her Free Spin token, which makes it easier to go for a $5,000 spin.

Round 4

PHRASE

KATHY (FS)	Bill	Claudia
$400: S (x3)
$1,200

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Well, at least that wasn't a "one spin too many" moment, but now we need Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $550 a piece.

Kathy: T (x3) ($2,850)
Bill: N (x2) ($1,100)
Claudia: R (x2) ($1,100)
Kathy: D (DUD!)
Bill: A ($1,100)

PHRASE

Bill solves STIR UP A HORNET'S NEST.

Kathy (...)	Bill	Claudia
	$2,650	$3,400

Kathy wasn't the one to tempt fate with the Wheel, but she is the one who ends up with the nice parting gifts.

We're scared of what will happen to that extra Free Spin token.

BONUS ROUND:

Claudia was able to book her ticket to Bonus Land, and where she lands, there will be plenty of prizes to look at!

Plexiglas grand piano (over $63,000)

LeRoy Neiman oil pastel and watercolor (over $39,000)

Four Seasons greenhouse edition with lighting and rug (over $49,000)

Car (over $57,000)

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

Claudia wants...

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

We don't want this puzzle to make her angry.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She tries L and S third, but she sticks to CDMA.

THING

She says PADDLE IRON and TIRE IRON, but she does not solve WAFFLE IRON. Claudia goes home with $3,400 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Vanna plugs another hotel. The crew stayed at the Doral Hotel in Miami Beach, and Vanna heard that they were treated very nicely!
