Wheel of Fortune Recap: 10/27/1989

Friday is here, it's the last day of the week, let's hopefully end it with a bang, but the alternative opening may prevent that, since less than...



...in money & merchandise can be won, on Wheel of Not So Much Expensiveness! Here are the players looking to win some great prizes tonight. These are three new players since the returning champion was undefeated and retired on the last show! *the contestant interviews were cut off*

Susan: Information unavailable.
Adam: Information unavailable.
Nicole: Information unavailable.

Well, these are the three players playing today, and you know their names! Okay, let's go, the Free Spin is in this location:

Free Spin Location: $300

Well, it's right back there.



That pink wedge near the Free Spin is the top dollar amount for this first round, also known as $1,000. Cash is what these players are playing for and the first puzzle is... a surprising category, Phrase!



Susan won the draw backstage, so she will go first. She calls the first dud tonight, an N on the red $400. One by one, Adam puts up letters, but all his work goes into the trash, he Bankrupts to lose $1,200. Nicole now can spin and she puts an L up there before she calls a bad D on $150. Susan's luck isn't getting better yet since she LATs. Adam puts up the C, but he hits Bankrupt again! Nicole repeats what Adam did, so it's back to Susan. She puts up that K...



Susan tells Pat to STAKE YOUR CLAIM, she won $400.

Moving on quickly to Round 2 with a $2,500 sparkling wedge on the wheel and Charlie tells us about these jewels from Krementz valued at $3,100! That JEWELS wedge is on the wheel ow ad the next puzzle is the ever so popular Phrase, this one has an apostrophe.



Adam will begin this round and he has a rough start thanks to Lose a Turn. Nicole puts a bunch of letters in this puzzle before she calls a dud L... on $2,500! Susan calls the Gs and Ws on $750 ad buys the As...



She says this phrase, DON'T GO AWAY MAD JUST GO AWAY for $2,750 more!

Quiet night so far, but the volume can get higher, now there's a sparkling $3,500 wedge on this wheel along with an upgraded template! This next puzzle's category is Thing and it's not a Phrase!



A lot of letters in this one and the potential for a lot of money to be won! Nicole will start the round and she starts it off by hitting $3,500! That's good for two Ts and she's spinning again... also landing on $3,500 again for two Hs! She buys the two Es and then hits $3,500 for the THIRD time in a row, and for two Ss! She buys the four Os and calls those Ns, there are FIVE, but on the orange $400, not $3,500. She puts more letters up there and soon enough, she just BARELY makes it past Lose a Turn! She calls the Ws and she says he has to spin again... and her next spin just hangs onto the pink $500! She calls the D and she wants to solve...



Nicole is successful wth THE LONGEST-RUNNING SHOW ON BROADWAY for $25,250, very huge win!
