Well, this would be recap #20 for me here on BAV, so I decided to do yet another iconic episode from the series. Here you go, Enjoy!
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Jack: “Look at this glamorous set, filled with prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise! Including: Christmas Gifts! A diamond pin! Bedroom Furniture! A new car! Home Appliances! Over $40,000 dollars just waiting to be won as we celebrate Christmas in New York on Wheel of Fortune! And now here's your host: Chuck Woolery!”
Introductions:
Claudia Diebel – One day champ with a total of $5,600 dollars in prizes.
Betty Kay – From Spring Valley, New York. Interviewed her to be a contestant at the Parker Meridian in New York. She's married with two children and likes the movies and going to the theatre.
Sonny Massey (The third) – Works for the phone company and enjoys dancing and skiing.
Game Spiel:
Chuck: “Top dollar value on the wheel for the first round, $750 dollars, but look out for this black space Bankrupt, because if you hit it, you lose all of your cash but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.”
ROUND ONE
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
PERSON
Claudia drew number one backstage. And she'll start this Christmas Edition, and Chuck's last show on Wheel of Fortune.
SPIN 1- Claudia gives it a spin and she'll start off with $300 dollars. She hopes to find an N. And she'll find two N's. That's $600 dollars. And she'll buy right away, she'll buy an E. Costs her $250, and she gets one E out of it. $350 left. She also buys an O. There is an O as well. $100 dollars. So it's Spin or Solve.
SPIN 2- Claudia barely scratches past Bankrupt and lands on the $350 on the other side of it. She calls a B, but there are no B's available. That means it's time for Betty to spin.
SPIN 3- Betty spins it, and that $750 is coming up.... but the peg just flips that one extra space and lands on Bankrupt. No cash involved, but she loses her turn. It's Sonny's turn.
SPIN 4- Sonny will land on $200 dollars. He calls an S. There is one S. $200 dollars.
SPIN 5- It's $150 this time. And Sonny calls an R. There's one. $350 dollars.
MID-ROUND BREAK (First time in 7 years during round one)

PERSON
SPIN 6- It's still Sonny's turn. And he'll spin. A little better this time. $400 dollars. He calls a T. A safe call you'd think, but there's no T. Claudia gets another shot.
SPIN 7- Claudia lands on top dollar! $750. She calls a D, but there is no D. Over to Betty.
SPIN 8- Betty lands on $300 dollars. She wants an L. And there's one. $300 dollars.
SPIN 9- Betty is coming up on that $750 again... and again she gets skunked by the Bankrupt! She loses her $300, and we're back to Sonny.
SPIN 10- And Sonny will land on $400 dollars. Sonny miscalls a D from just three turns ago. Claudia has just $100 dollars, so she'll spin.
SPIN 11- Claudia lands on $450 dollars. Calls a W. But nobody can seem to figure this thing out. No W.
SPIN 12- Betty lands on an unknown dollar amount (Source is audio only). She calls a Y, but there's no Y. And the rotation keeps going.
SPIN 13- Sonny will try to break the streak, but it won't be any good because he'll land on Lose a Turn!
SPIN 14- Claudia spins and it will be $400 dollars. She hopes for a P. And her wishes have been granted. One P. That's $500 dollars. She buys an I. And there are a couple of I's. That halved her score down to $250.
SPIN 15- It's the same dollar amount again and Claudia calls an F. And there's no F's either.
SPIN 16- Betty lands on $400 dollars. She calls an M. Yeah, there's an M. $400 dollars.
