Here's my attempt at a recap NOT stolen from Google Groups (with a better effort done, I hope. It's in the style of Andy's old recaps).
Over $130,000 is waiting to be won today!
Players
Glenda Strobee: state housing policy director from Anchorage, AK
Barbara Powers: program director
Meg Butier: 1-day champion with $39,650
Round 1 ($1,000) - EVENT
WINTER CARNIVAL solved by Barbara for $1,250.
Gameplay Note:
*Glenda picked up the Free Spin concealing $400, but missed with an S and opted not to use it.
Scores so far:
Glenda: $0
Barbara: $1,250
Meg: $0
Pre-Round 2 Prize on the Wheel: color TV and camcorder worth $2,198 (marked "VIDEO" on the Wheel)
Round 2 ($2,500) - PERSON/TITLE
Barbara controls the entire round and solves DUSTIN HOFFMAN STARRING IN TOOTSIE for $11,300 (including $10,000 with four T's)!
Scores so far:
Glenda: $0
Barbara: $12,550
Meg: $0
Round 3 ($3,500) - TITLE
LOOK WHO'S TALKING solved by Barbara for $2,500.
Gameplay Note:
*Meg cashed in $7,000 with a T and an N, but missed with an E to leave behind $7,400. Ouch.
Scores so far:
Glenda: $0
Barbara: $15,050
Meg: $0
Pre-Round 4 Prize on the Wheel: trip to Florida and a set of luggage worth $6,055 (marked "TRIP" on the Wheel)
Round 4 ($3,500 still) - OCCUPATION
RESEARCH CHEMIST solved by Meg for $13,750 (including $14,000 with a pair of R's and and a pair of C's)!
Gameplay Note:
*Glenda immediately picked up the Florida trip concealing $150, but missed with an N. Pat made an EPIC FAIL by not asking her if she would like to use her Free Spin, so that went unclaimed.
Scores so far:
Glenda: $0
Barbara: $15,050
Meg: $13,750
Round 5 ($5,000) - PHRASE
TURNED INSIDE OUT solved by Meg for $2,100. There's time for a rare round 6.
Gameplay Note:
*Barbara hit a Bankrupt and lost $1,200.
Scores so far:
Glenda: $0
Barbara: $15,050
Meg: $15,850
Round 6 ($5,000) - THING
After some regular gameplay, speed-up mode commences for $1,500 per consonant. Meg solves FILLET OF SOLE for $4,750.
FINAL SCORES
Glenda: goose-egged for parting gifts
Barbara: $15,050
Meg: $20,600 (winner)(2-day total of $60,250)
Bonus Round
The prizes that Meg could win besides $25,000 are:
*a Toyota Celica worth over $19,000
*a speedboat worth over $26,000
*a Cadillac worth over $30,000
*a pair of his & hers Rolex watches worth over $21,000
Meg picks the L from WHEEL.
Category: PERSON
Starting with the RSTLNE...
_ _ _ _ R _ _ _
Meg's choices of D, C, M, and A give her...
C _ _ _ R _ _ _
Almost no help here. Meg had pretty much NO chance at solving CHOIRBOY and because of that, she misses out on the Celica. But Meg hasa great 2-day total of $60,250 and she will be back tomorrow to hopefully retire undefeated (which she does, indeed. See Wheel of Fortune Recap: 1/9/1990)!
