Wheel of Fortune Recap: 1/11/1990

Tonight's show uses the alternate opening lines, but it's understandable since over...



...in prizes and money has been given away so far this week. Today's three contestants include our returning champion and two opponents.

Louise Meuller: This is the champion whose 1-day winnings add up to $39,645 in cash and prizes, along with a Cadillac!
Don Berkwist: Registered patent in his own business.
Loretta Marietti: Flight attendant who enjoys to scuba dive and well, travel.

It's ether a two-day reign for Louise or a new title for the opponents. Let's see who wins it!

Free Spin Location: $500

Is it supposed to be next to the top dollar?



$1,000 is the top amount for Round 1, cash is what's being played for and... we see yet another Phrase.



Louise will start the first round, the draw gave her position 1. She hits the Free Spin on spin 1, so she'll pick it up but her turn is passed on with a dud T. Don takes his number 1 spin and he hits the number 1 followed by three zeroes, for 2 Ns at $1,000 each! He spins again and calls a G for $800. He makes a purchase of a single I and spins again. That spin will cost him $2,550 because he hits Bankrupt! Loretta's first spin lands on $200 and she wants the R. She has $200 and she tries to buy a vowel, but negative scores aren't possible. Three Ps on the yellow $500 give her enough to buy the E. After a U buy and every consonant is picked...



Loretta says that PLANS ARE SHAPING UP, she won $2,900!

This wheel is getting crafty with ART covring the second $150, a portrait and pedestal thing valued at $2,975 in total. Glitter is also on the wheel, the $2,500 wedge! Now showing itself is Star & Role.



A lot of letters, that equals a potential lot of money. Don takes his first spin and calls the Ss. He calls $1,400 worth of Ns and Ts next before buying a half a dozen As. Then his $1,750 is taken away via Bankrupt. Loretta calls three Rs on $800, then she buys a single E. Her next spin hits the purple $250, her M call is a dud. Louise spins and her first spin of the round lands on $150, for two Cs. She spins some more and calls every last consonant...



Louise solves CLINT EASTWOOD AS DIRTY HARRY CALLAHAN, from Dirty Harry, for $4,550!

Sparkling on the wheel this round is $3,500! The puzzleboard contains a Thing for this round and that Thing contains a hyphen.



Loretta will begin this third round and she does so with a $400 T. Her next call is N, there are two and she buys the E. Loretta takes another spin and it lands on $3,500! She calls an R... but there are none. Over to Louise and her first spin of Round 3 lands on... $3,500, which is good for an L. Next, she calls the Ds on the big orange $900, but she'll Bankrupt away her $5,300. It's still her turn, however, since she hands in the Free Spin. She calls the G and a quarter of a dozen Ss...



Louise then solves STAINED-GLASS WINDOW for $1,600.

Second to best silver is on the wheel, it's named $5,000 and a wedge named TRIP is on the wheel too, a New York trip & camera valued at $5,372! For this round, there's a People puzzle.



Louise started Round 1, so she'll start Round 4. She hits both $900s for the Ts and Hs, giving her a $4,500 start. She buys the Es and A next and her next spin hits that big $1,500 and she calls the B! She spins again and she calls the S for $350 more. Her next spin is costly, Bankrupt takes away her $5,850! Louise's turn will come right back to her since Don & Loretta also Bankrupt. Louise spins and she lands on the Trip, she picks that up and calls the W for the $300 underneath it!



Louise claims that trip & $300 with THE POWERS THAT BE.

Louise: $11,822
Don: Unlucky
Loretta: $2,900

There's little to no time for a fifth round, so Louise has won again! $51,467 in cash, Cadillac, and more prizes is what she has so far! Three prizes left and three cards remaining.



Three cars up for grabs, the one Louise will grab is...



...the other E. She won what was in the first E yesterday, maybe she can make it two in a row with a Thing.



The very common RSTLNE is given first, before anything else.



A third of the way there. Now Louise has to pick 3 more consonants and a single vowel, HMCA.



Only one single letter. Well... it's a Thing, she has ten seconds to...



...not get GIBBERISH. She couldn't come up with anything and what she missed out on is...

Those Rolex watches, some nice armwear to have, but she'll be returning for one last day on the next episode, maybe then she could win the watches!
