Daytime Wheel of Fortune (Pat's Final Episode) - Original Airdate 1/9/90
Look at this studio, filled with fabulous and exciting merchandise including... a $23,000 New Year's Resolutions showcase... a $4,400 blue sapphire and diamond ring... even a $14,000 Jeep! Over $102,000 just waiting to be won on Pat's last daytime episode of WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Let's get to know our champion and challengers - after all, one of them will be back tomorrow and Pat won't:
Betsy Baylog, a one-day champion with $2,150 in prizes
Consuelo Palmer, a flight attendant from Chicago
Gigi White, a mother of two from Southern California
ROUND 1:
$750 is the top dollar value for the first round, and this is the last time that Pat will remind players to stay away from the old black BANKRUPT lest they lose their cash. But not their merchandise - once they buy prizes, they're theirs for life.
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Champ Betsy will begin Pat's curtain call by barely avoiding Bankrupt over to $350 and striking out with the N. Consuelo is up, and she begins with a $500 S. She does a fair bit of work before whiffing with the H. Gigi has her first turn now with a good G but no M in sight. We cycle back around to Betsy long enough for her to pick up the BANKRUPT she missed the first time around, so Consuelo has it again. She gets a few more letters up and then...
T A _ E / G _ _ _
C A R E / _ _
Y _ _ R S E L _
PHRASE
tells Pat TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF as she banks $2,000!
Duds: N (Betsy), H (Consuelo), M (Gigi)
Bankrupt: Betsy (loss of turn)
We're taking Consuelo into the Bedroom (minds out of the gutter people, we're just shopping). She'll buy some $500 lamps and the $1,499 queen bed suite, leaving one whole dollar for a gift certificate.
Betsy: two spins, no success
Consuelo: $2,000
Gigi: one good letter, one dud
ROUND 2:
$1,000 is the top dollar value now.

SAME NAME
Consuelo has the lead and the right to start this round. Given the category and puzzle formation, her logical first three calls are N (two for $250 each), D (a single for $250), and buying the A (a pair). She gets up several more letters, but now it's time for a commercial - turn your backs!
C E L E _ _ _ T Y
A N D / _ _ E N _ E
_ _ A _ T
SAME NAME
We're back, and it's still Consuelo's turn. She gets even more letters up, but with the puzzle lacking only three, she calls the bad F to leave $1,950 on the table. Gigi takes her second turn of the night... not a good one, she calls the junk J. Betsy has another chance and she gets a $700 S - which means $700 goes into the BANKRUPT fund - that's her second one of the day. Consuelo has another chance, but the H will not will any gaps. Gigi has Betsy's bad luck with Bankrupt right away, so we go back to the champ. Betsy gets the W for $400...
C E L E B R I T Y
A N D / W I E N I E
R _ A S T
SAME NAME
and she solves CELEBRITY AND WIENIE ROAST for that $400!
Duds: F (Consuelo), J (Gigi), H (Consuelo)
Bankrupt: Betsy ($700), Gigi (loss of turn)
Betsy will shop now in the New Year's Shape-Up area - making it easy by purchasing the $400 dance wear, she's all square in the accounting department.
Betsy: $400
Consuelo: $2,000
Gigi: gooseegg alert
ROUND 3 (Partial Speedup):
It's the last time Pat will see $2,000. $1,500 will still be on the nighttime show for a few more years though.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Gigi will start Round 3 looking to get any kind of money she can... how's $1,500 each for two R's sound? That's $3,000 right away for her! It'll be waiting a while, because she strikes out with the S. Betsy still has some catching up to do if she wants to stay champ, and her spin is even better than Gigi's - a $2,000 N! She buys the isolated A (plus two more) and a pair of E's... that takes up the last of our time! Here's the board going into speedup:
R E A _ _ E _ / A
_ R _ _ _ _ A _
_ _ _ N _
PHRASE
Pat's last daytime final spin will fall a full wedge short of $2,000 - it's $500 a consonant instead. Still Betsy's turn, and she gets two shots at it, but it's Consuelo who on her second speedup turn...
R E A C _ E D / A
C R _ T _ C A L
P _ _ N T
PHRASE
has REACHED A CRITICAL POINT in her game by taking the title with another $1,500!
Sole Dud (pre-speedup): S (Gigi)
Pat's last shopping round has Consuelo in the Playroom. She would like the $842 coffee table, the $620 settee, and $38 on a gift certificate to keep the other dollar from earlier company.
Betsy: $400 (retired with $2,550 in prizes)
Consuelo: $3,500
Gigi: GOOSEEGG'D
Consuelo will be meeting the new host tomorrow, but first a trip to Bonusland!
BONUS ROUND:
Consuelo will play for the Jeep Wrangler - retailing for $14,156 - Dim the lights!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _
THING
We give her RSTLNE to start:
S _ R _ T _ _
_ _ _
THING
She would like BGDA as her extra help...
S _ R A T _ _
_ A D
THING
Pat gives her the sound advice to talk it out - instead Consuelo stands in silence for the 10 seconds, unable to solve SCRATCH PAD. So no Jeep, but she has $3,500 in prizes and a date with a certain Chargers placekicker tomorrow!
