From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
John Hanowitz: Works for a heating company, from Seymour, CT
Beverly Sans: Mother of three, from Tamarac, FL
Betty Baime (returning with a 1-day total of $10,000)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Betty solves MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T RESIST.
Betty solves THE HUSTLE AND THE BUSTLE OF THE BIG CITY.
She's gonna need a lot more money in the big city, and we've got more money including a $3,500 space and a $10,000 prize. The latter's been won last week, and it can be won again!
He'll need to be a mad scientist to turn that money into something better...or he could simply spin the $5,000 space. We could send him on a GOLF trip, if he's lucky.
BONUS ROUND:

How's this for an offer? Would you dare refuse a trip to Branson, Missouri and stay at Hampton Inn with live theatre, attractions, live sports, and family fun (labeled MUSIC) worth $3,700?
We could always sweeten the deal by throwing in a $2,500 space.

Betty solves DEMENTED OR ANGRY. She might be angry at herself if she can't get the $500 bonus for answering the clue.
Actually, she's just sad. That's not it, so we'll check with John.
He feels a little better now. The answer to the clue is mad.

He'll need to be a mad scientist to turn that money into something better...or he could simply spin the $5,000 space. We could send him on a GOLF trip, if he's lucky.

John solves U S NAVY SEALS for just the golf trip worth $5,571...and Pat forgot to ask Charlie to tell them about it!
It's a trip to South Carolina and stay at The Westin Resort Hilton Head Island, plus two rounds of golf for two at Port Royal, and private health club pool and beaches, again worth $5,571.
Pat needs a break from this game.

A little bit of DMCA had better do the trick.
And it tricked her.
And then she tricked us! She instantly solves ROOF...
...to reel in the 1995 Volvo 850 sports wagon worth $35,045! Betty is up to $54,145 in cash and prizes, and she's returning for one more show!
In the post-game chat, Vanna asks if Pat remembered the Red, White & Blue Sweepstakes. They called some of them on the phone, and Pat is shown phoning winner Al Anzelone from the set. Al can't believe it, so Pat puts the phone to Vanna. Can Al believe it now? Pat then jokes that Merv is talking to him now. Al has won the Alaskan cruise!
They hope to hold the Sweepstakes again some time!
