Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $13,300 Jeep!
An 18-karat gold and diamond lion pin!
A colorful piano!
Over $101,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Chris Katris (female) (returning with a 2-day total of $45,616)
Mike Guyette: Computer consultant, from southern California
Bob Gray: Working as an art production coordinator for a home video company
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Mike solves DON'T LOSE YOUR TEMPER.
We'll be cool if you can call a good letter on the $1,000 space and solve our next puzzle.
Mike solves CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
We hope Merv won't lose his temper if someone hits the $2,000 space and scores a Jackpot worth $13,000 in the same round.
Chris solves COMING DOWN THE HOMESTRETCH.
We're this close to the homestretch, and Pat is giving the Wheel a Final Spin! We'll play for a gift certificate, and consonants are worth... $500 a piece. Chris begins.
Chris: T ($500)
Right away, she says BEAUTY PAGEANT.
Mike: N (DUD!)
Bob: S (DUD!)
Chris: D ($1,000)
Mike: L ($500)
Mike beats the buzzer to solve BRIDAL BOUQUET ...though he didn't find the right letter to win. He'll still get $500 on a gift certificate.
