Nighttime Wheel of Fortune: "Winter Sports" - Original Airdate 1/12/2004 (Season 21)
It's cold outside and our players are winning cold hard cash inside the studio... it's Winter Games Week on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
$1,000 TOSS-UP:
_ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Laura rings in first at the red podium...
A / _ L E A N
_ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
and she has one-third of A CLEAN SWEEP and $1,000!
Let's meet the players this evening:
Laura Scott, a journalism student at Biola University, she hails from Rancho Cucamonga, California
Michael Fillmore, a soon-to-be-married news researcher and folk singer based in Omaha
Diana Figueroa, a human resources manager from Bridgeport, Connecticut
$2,000 TOSS-UP:

ON THE MENU
Laura is first again:
D E _ V _ R
O M _ L E _
ON THE MENU
and it's order up with a DENVER OMELET plus another $2,000 for her!
ROUND 1 - $10,000 ROUND:
$2,500 is the top dollar at the top of the show, plus that golden Oreo wedge is available this round.
_ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ _ _ _ _ -
_ _ _ _ _
SAME NAME
Laura won both toss-ups, so she has earned the right of the first spin... too bad that spin hits the left side of the Oreo - a BANKRUPT. Michael will try his luck and find the exact same slot, giving it over to Diana. She gets our first money with a $400 N and keeps on going until her second vowel purchase (the E) turns sour. Laura tries to rebound from the lost turn; she successfully fills in the bottom two lines of the puzzle and buys the last vowel (the I), but is not successful with a C call. Michael picks up the two K's for $600 each:
K _ A K I / &
S M A R T Y -
P A N T S
SAME NAME
He will solve KHAKI & SMARTY-PANTS for that $1,200!
Duds: E (Diana), C (Laura)
Bankrupt: Laura (loss of turn), Michael (loss of turn)
Laura: $3,000
Michael: $1,200
Diana: made a good run, but no money
ROUND 2 - JACKPOT ROUND:
Tonight's Jackpot wedge is sponsored by Francesco Rinaldi, and we've added a prize to the wheel:
it's a trip to Whistler, British Columbia sponsored by ResortQuest - $4,800!

WHERE ARE WE?
Michael won the last round and it's his turn to start this one. He gets a single $600 S, but the T costs him his turn. Diana finds $600 of her own with two N's on $300, and then that money is supplemented by a $3,500 R! She buys all of the vowels in order (with some consonants interspersed between them), and all five are good, which means her turn will continue with more spinning... or not, since she loses $5,850 to BANKRUPT. Laura has the lead and now control of the wheel - she finds a V but no M, which means we get back to the player whose name starts with M, Michael. He gets the Y up on $550, which means his next spin costs him $1,150 into the black hole that is Bankrupt. Diana starts again with four consonants left and puts up three...

Y O D E L I N G
A L P I N E
V I L L A G E S
WHERE ARE WE?
and she finishes up by reciting the clues ZURICH YODELING ALPINE VILLAGES and earns $1,700! That becomes $4,700 when she identifies the location as SWITZERLAND!
Duds: T (Michael), M (Laura)
Bankrupt: Diana ($5,850), Michael ($1,150)
Unclaimed Jackpot: $14,500
Laura: $3,000
Michael: $1,200
Diana: $4,700
ROUND 3 - MYSTERY ROUND:
Tonight's Mystery prize is the Toyota Echo - $13,245!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THING
Diana now has the lead and the first spin of the Mystery Round, which clicks to a stop on $900 for an N. Several spins later, she strikes out on the S, sending it around the horn to Laura. Our lady of the red podium gets off to an immediate $1,800 start with three T's on $600, then spends $500 of that on vowels before hitting the wicked white LOSE A TURN. Michael meets the exact same fate, while Diana gets three M's and a pair of A's...
_ O M M E M O R A T I _ E
_ _ A R T E R
_ O _ _ E _ T I O N
THING
and her total could buy a nice COMMEMORATIVE QUARTER COLLECTION - another $3,550 this round!
Sole Dud: S (Diana)
Lose a Turn: Laura, Michael
Laura: $3,000
Michael: $1,200
Diana: $8,250

SHOW BIZ
Michael shows some signs of life...
C A _ _ _ _ G
A G _ N T
SHOW BIZ
and he solves CASTING AGENT to take $3,000 and deny Laura's sweep!
Laura: $3,000
Michael: $4,200
Diana: $8,250
ROUND 4 (Full Speedup):
$5,000 could be a nice haul if somebody hits it... but that someone will have to be Pat!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _
_ / _ _ _ / _ _ _
EVENT
We get a very awkward side angle on the overhead camera (credits say that a portion of the game was edited - this may be it), but it's still clear that $600 is the final spin, making consonants worth $1,600. Michael will start the search, and he provides our first dud after three straight successes by pulling out the bad P. His third attempt finds the U:
S O _ _ _ N G / _ N
_ / _ O T / T U _
EVENT
and he can be SOAKING IN A HOT TUB with $3,200 more, but Diana is still our winner!
Sole Dud: P (Michael)
Laura: $3,000
Michael: $7,400
Diana: $8,250
Michael came up $850 short, so Diana will take her money into Bonusland!
BONUS ROUND:
Diana's spin hits the second 0 in $100,000 (the one before the comma).
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
FICTIONAL CHARACTER
RSTLNE are the standard package...
R _ _ _ E _ _
_ N _ _
FICTIONAL CHARACTER
They're also the only help Diana will get as CPMO comes up completely blank. No guesses come in the ten seconds of thinking time... Diana's brain goes as limp as RAGGEDY ANDY and she will not add $25,000 to her score, but she will leave with an all-cash total of $8,250 for her half-hour's work.
It's cold outside and our players are winning cold hard cash inside the studio... it's Winter Games Week on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
