Because Rolf deserves more love.
"Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise including:
A $22,000-dining room!
An $11,000-Jeep!
And a $1,600-grandfather clock!
Over $80,000 just waiting to be won today on Wheel of Fortune!"
For the first time, announcer M.G. Kelly introduces the new host Rolf Benirschke. He remarks that Pat Sajak is off doing bigger things (like his talk show which would be airing its third episode that night). Rolf then introduces Vanna white and today's contestants...
Karen Nelson, yesterday's winner with $19,379 in prizes, a bride-to-be from Anaheim, CA.
Judy Conway, a co-owner of a husband and wife motel and chamber of commerce vice president (kind of) from Desert Hot Springs, CA.
Robin Edrington, a travel agent from San Jose, CA who enjoys travel, cooking and skiing.
$750 is the top dollar for the first round of play and for only the second time so far, Rolf reminds us that your merchandise is safe from Bankrupt because once you buy a prize it's yours to keep.

SAME NAME
The first spin of the game is belongs to Karen...but it's Lose a Turn. Judy guesses the N and gets two at $400 a pop, then fills in the second word with a $350-spin for the one D and buying the A, getting a pair of those. She then spins $500 but calls a dud S. After scoring a Free Spin, Robin puts herself on the board with a $200-T and increases her output with two $600-R's. She buys the E, of which there are also two, and picks up two M's for the top value of $750. She buys the sole I, spins $200 apiece for the one J and one C before spinning $400 for the Y, revealing three of the four words in the puzzle. She picks the dud P at $250 and uses her Free Spin. She spins $200 once more but have no fear, this time redeems herself with the two L's, completely revealing the puzzle...

In order, she buys the color television worth $449, a keyboard worth $532, a cocktail table for $1,331, a cordless telephone for $139, and a chair for $1,028. She then puts the remaining $121 on a Service Merchandise gift certificate.

Round 2:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THING
Karen spins $900 and snags the lone R in the puzzle, then spins $200 for four N's. She then buys the E, one in the puzzle, but hits Lose a Turn on her next spin. Robin nearly hits $1,000, settling for a $200-G, but lands on $900 on her next spin, picking up a pair of S's. She spins again, calling the three T's at $500 apiece before Rolf pauses for a commercial message.
Judy's next decision after the break is to buy the I and gets four in the puzzle. She then spins $1,000 but calls the dud P. Karen's second spin of the show lands on $300 and she gets double with two C's. She then spins $1,000 and cashes in with a pair of L's before deciding to solve...

Round 3:
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Robin's opening spin is worth $1,500 and she adds that to her bank with one T, followed by an $800-spin bringing in one H. She buys the now obvious E and gets three of them in total. After spinning $600 for a pair of S's, she buys the dud I. Karen barely gets out of Bankrupt and picks a $600-R but after spinning $200, she asks for a dud C. Judy spins $1,500 and calls the dud N before the final spin bells ring.
Vowels worth nothing, consonants worth $200 apiece.
Robin: F (2): $3,400...
_ E E _ / _ F F
T H E / _ R _ S S
PHRASE
Robin's no stranger to direction and instantly solves KEEP OFF THE GRASS for $3,400 which she is free to spend in the Home Center. She buys a computer for $2,399 and a washer/dryer for $908, putting the remaining $93 on a gift certificate.
Pre-Speed Up Duds: I (Robin), C (Karen), N (Judy)
Scores:
Karen: $2,600 (Retires with a two-day total of $21,979)
Judy: Goose-Egged
Robin: $7,000

But with the answer hanging in the air, she can't figure out this evil puzzle of HUNG JURY and loses out on the ear clips. She will play again tomorrow with a one-day total of $7,000 in merchandising.
