Airdate: November 18, 1987
Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
His-and-hers mink coats!
A $34,000 BMW convertible!
A Billfish 265 boat!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $186,000 just waiting to be won as we continue our Big Bonanza of Cash on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Marie Campagna: Grade 1 teacher, from Milford, MI
Laura Ingram: Sells office furniture and designs, from Louisville, KY
Kevin Kennedy: Flight attendant, from New York City
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Laura solves FILLED TO OVERFLOWING.
Kevin solves ACCORDION PLAYER.
We'll let you try for our $3,500 space regardless of whether you prefer to spell "accordion" with an O or a second A...as long as you keep it to yourself.
She said "one more time" before. This time, one extra spin could score her a 1988 Chevrolet S-10 pickup (labeled TRUCK) worth $12,929!
Kevin solves IN MY MIND'S EYE.
DING DING! DING DING!
You thought we'd keep going forever, didn't you? Pat now gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $900 a piece.
Kevin: P ($3,550)
Kevin solves A PACK OF WOLVES.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTNLE are pretty good on the top row, at least.
He gets STEPHEN, but he says LONG, WIND, MIND, MOAN, MOND, and JOHN for the second. Kevin does not solve STEPHEN KING, so he's leaving with $6,500 in cash.
