Airdate: March 13, 1995

From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Glenn Yurata: Payroll clerk with his wife, from Garden Grove, CA
Michelle Heiser: Works as an auditor for a major public accounting firm, from Poplar Bluff, MO
Jocelyn Benford: Designs jewelry, from Los Angeles, CA

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

PHRASE

GLENN	Michelle	Jocelyn
$200: T $1,000: S (DUD!)	SURPRISE: N (DUD!)	$150: R (DUD!)
$200
SURPRISE: L (x2) $200: P (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$250: M (DUD!)
$200+
$500: C (DUD!)	$400: D -$250: O (x3) $300: Y -$250: U (x2) $500: W Only vowels left! -$250: A (DUD!)	Solve: Correct!
$200+	$450

PHRASE

Jocelyn solves WOULD I LIE TO YOU. "No, of course not- Yeah, that's it."

Glenn	Michelle	Jocelyn
		$200

Let's be honest that we need some recovery time after that. During that time, the crew adds a Lobster Gram gift package (labeled LOBSTER) worth $1,000.

You think we're lying about big winnings on the show, but just wait for someone to hit the $2,500 space!

Round 2

THING

Glenn	MICHELLE	Jocelyn
	$350: S (DUD!)	$200: T $200: R (DUD!)
		$200
$500: N (DUD!)	$450: F (x3) -$250: O (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$1,100

THING

Michelle solves OATH OF OFFICE.

Glenn	Michelle	Jocelyn
	$1,100	$200

Big, bigger, and biggest money. We'll work our way up, and Jocelyn could do it right with a $3,500 spin or by picking up the $10,000 prize.

Round 3

CLUE

Glenn	Michelle	JOCELYN
		$250: T (x2) $800: R (x3) $1,000: B -$250: E (x2) -$250: O $500: S (DUD!)
		$3,400
LOBSTER: N (DUD!)	BANKRUPT/$10K! ($0)	$250: D (DUD!)
		$3,400
$200: L (x2) -$250: I (DUD!)	$250: C (DUD!)	-$250: A -$250: U $450: M (DUD!)
$150		$2,900
$900: G $250: Y Solve: Correct!
$1,300

CLUE

Glenn reads what's on the board. If they can't spin for that money, we can at least give away a $500 bonus to the one who answers the clue.

Glenn's silent. Michelle can answer.

All she can think of is margarine. A little more money for Jocelyn, maybe?

She says fly, meaning we've got a triple stumper. We were thinking of peanut, and Pat can only groan at that one.

(Before the break, Jocelyn says she was thinking of butterfly.)

Glenn	Michelle	Jocelyn
$1,300	$1,100	$200

Still stuck on peanuts, we've got one more chance at Big Money with the $5,000 space. Does the peanut gallery recommend a DOCUMENT for a prize?

Round 4

PHRASE

GLENN	Michelle	Jocelyn
$500: M -$250: E (x3) $800: T (DUD!)	$200: S (x2) -$250: O (DUD!)	DOCUMENT: H $700: D $350: N -$250: A (DUD!)
$250	$150	$800+
-$250: I (DUD!)

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

And just before vowels could've been free as well. Now at the bell, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.

Michelle: R (DUD!)
Jocelyn: L (DUD!)
Glenn: B (x2) ($1,000)

PHRASE

Glenn solves SHE SNUBBED ME.

Glenn	Michelle	Jocelyn
$2,300	$1,100	$200

BONUS ROUND:

We won't be snubbing Glenn in Bonus Land. He deserves a great prize, and look at what can be won!

Ballooning holiday in France ($20,800)

Ski holiday in Europe ($17,000)

9-karat citrine ring with 4 karats of diamonds (over $18,000)

Porsche (over $44,000)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Pay attention to those envelopes, because one of them has what Glenn wants. He'll now pick the second E and stare at a puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PERSON

RSTLNE gives him:

PERSON

Let's salvage the day with PMCA.

PERSON

He's silent and does not solve PHILOSOPHER...

...and he won't be questioning the value of the jewelry right now. Glenn remains at $2,300 in cash, but it's just the first day, and he'll come back.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna admire the nice prizes this week. Vanna went skiing this weekend, and she made a major breakthrough! She's been trying for several years, and this time, she just went down the hill and her husband didn't have to wait for her! She loves it now!
