Look at these terrific prizes just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune!
A jasper and gold necklace!
A free-standing fireplace!
A pair of corduroy chairs!
Total retail value over $44,000!
Today's contestants:
Robert Root: Restaurant manager who "enjoys skydiving, pretty girls, and fine wine" ("not necessarily in that order"), originally from New York City
Wilda Chad: School secretary and grandmother
Kathy Tamisian (returning with a 1-day total of $3,650)
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!
Kathy solves PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.
Five people who know what's going on know that we're adding a $1,000 space and a second BANKRUPT to the Wheel.
Perfection! Wilda solves CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
We're now feeling super generous, so the $2,000 space is going on the Wheel!
Kathy solves WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK for a lucky fortune!

Chuck tells Kathy that she had enough money to buy the car before her last spin and asks why. She didn't know the answer before that!
Well, the party's almost over, and Chuck will finish off a Final Spin for a Georgio gift certificate. Consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!
That can certainly spoil the party, but Chuck will spin it again. Consonants are worth... $2,000 a piece! Robert begins!
