Syndi. Season 1 - Episode 3 (Steven/Pam/Jodi)

Keep in mind I'm new at doing the whole recap thing. Thus, if there's anything I can improve on, you can let me know.

Also, if anyone knows approximately when this aired, I'm also open to change the thread title for that.

Some dialog relating to Pat's spiels i did copy from Mechamind's recaps in the retro recap section.

But for now, it's time for the pre-recorded CHANT! USED FOR! 40 YEARS!

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous & merchandise including:

Over $75,000 waiting to be won, on Wheel of Fortune.

Tonight's 3 players

Pam Miller: An Exotic car saleswoman, who enjoys tennis and skiing

and Jodi Anthony: Mother of 4 (2 teens, 2 toddlers), who enjoys singing and volunteer work

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!

We've upped the top value to $1000 but added another Bankrupt to spice things up, as well as add a trip to Mexico (labeled "TRIP"; the Boganvillas Sheraton in Puerto Vallarta with air travel by Western Airlines) valued at $1236

Without further ado, the round 2 puzzle:

After the Os come up on the board, we have an instance of the infamous "turn your backs" commercial break with this showing

For that solve, Pam gets to shop in the Garden Center

Overall scores after round 2:

But our third round with the big silvery $5000 space is coming up
