Airdate: Sometime in 1991
Exciting prizes just waiting to be won, including...
Westminster/Stanley Rogers dinner setting for 12 worth $4,545!
Rado matching his-and-hers watches worth $5,000!
Ford Laser GL worth $18,780!
It's the greatest Wheel around, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Julie Donovan: Registered nurse whose ambition is to sing in a rock band, enjoys fishing and netball, and she wants to own a home by the sea
James Kelly (returning with $7,618 in prizes)
Gloria Konetsky: Mum of three who likes Simon & Garfunkel, and wants to visit Tutankhamun's Tomb
Yeah, let's just disregard that extra dollar from James' score.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $400, and here's our first puzzle:
The top dollar-value on the Wheel is now $750.
Perfection! James solves TO CASH IN ONE'S CHIPS. Burgo just can't make him spin again.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is up to $2,000.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
James might not be cashing in much more today, as Burgo is giving the Wheel a Spin. Consonants are worth $420.
James: R (DUD!)
Gloria: P (DUD!)
Julie: H (x2) (1,745)
Julie solves GOLDEN HANDSHAKE. We're not ready to shake hands just yet...
...because we have a tie! We'll need to break it with a spinoff! Whoever spins the highest number will be the champion!
BONUS ROUND:
We 2,165 to his previous 2,385 for 4,550, and James gets four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Beautyware spa bath with aero-spa system ($4,320)

In the pre-game, Burgo wonders about Adriana's bright green dress. It's too bright to be Kermit's colour, though he does compliment the buttons on it. If it fits, what can Adriana say? She can't help it!
Burgo tries not to laugh about that doing the contestant interviews.

Julie solves GOLDEN HANDSHAKE. We're not ready to shake hands just yet...
Julie | James | Gloria |
1,745 | 1,745 | 460 |
(To be announced) | Locked in: $1,430 spent $45 remainder | Locked in: $447 spent $13 remainder |
...because we have a tie! We'll need to break it with a spinoff! Whoever spins the highest number will be the champion!
"James...ladies first." James agrees.
Julie spins the Wheel, and it lands on $165...the smallest thing on the Wheel, but not a "nasty" space.
James spins the Wheel, and it stops on $420. James is the winner!
Since Julie solved the last puzzle, she will be doing the shopping, and the extra $165 will be added to her shopping round.
$1,910 to spend |

All contestants receive the Croner Wheel of Fortune board game.
BONUS ROUND:
That's another kind of close call. A tie game had only happened three times in Burgo's career.
After our tie, James breaks it to play for a Major Prize! Will it be the Ford Laser GL worth $18,780?
We 2,165 to his previous 2,385 for 4,550, and James gets four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
