TITLE

Daniel reads what's on the board.

We'll be awarding some more prizes before the winter storm, and for Daniel, we have a food waste disposal unit, a Magellan GPS, or a Tissot diver's watch.

Daniel wants a watch for his boss.

We begin our next round.

Round 3

WHERE ARE WE?

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Not again. We don't seem to have much time, so Rob must give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 310, and Daniel will begin.

Daniel: R (x4) (310)
Suzi: N (x2) (1,535)
Fernando: S (x2) (1,770)
Daniel: T (x3) (620)
Suzi: L (x2) (1,845)
Fernando: D (2,080)
Daniel: W (DUD!)
Suzi: P (DUD!)
Fernando: M (2,390)

WHERE ARE WE?

Suzi is one letter short, saying LUNA MODULE ASTRONAUT CRATERS.

Fernando solves LUNAR MODULE ASTRONAUT CRATERS. Hurry up and score that bonus 200 by telling us where we are!

That was hard, and with his guess of Mars, so was this bonus. We are actually on the Moon. Just give it a few more years, though.

Returning home, Fernando is greeted by another trio of prizes. He'll have a stainless steel cookware set, a Tommy Armour golf club set, or a Stanley Rogers 44-piece cutlery set.

Fernando will have the golf clubs. (Why can't Daniel ever win them?)

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Suzi will begin.

Suzi: S (2,065)
Fernando: N (220)

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Fernando solves SNOOPY. (Good grief! We didn't get to see if there was a lucky letter up there!)

Fernando is just getting ready for takeoff, and he'll be taking a Schott Zwiesel glassware set, an AEG programmable dishwasher, or a CityBug scooter with him.

He'll have the dishwasher.

Suzi	Fernando	Daniel (...)

Camera	Korjo travel Golf clubs Dishwasher	Watch

(Due to running overtime, we don't get to hear about the consolation prizes.)

Daniel still departs with some good prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

Fernando is hoping to reach new heights like Snoopy! One of our major prizes will get him started! Maybe the Proton with a $3,900 Jackpot?

We need to hurry up! Fernando has 2,920 for three consonants and a vowel, and the Golden Wheel lands on...

Driclad above-ground pool ($5,425)

After the last break, we didn't even get to hear about the car. Fernando just spun immediately!

During the Larry Emdur And Laura Csortan’s Wheel Of Fortune era, they had a short major prize round, with the games running overtime. But they never got to hear about the prizes, after the final ad break, the Major Prize Round begins starting with spinning the wheel
