Next recap that goes up will be the special request recap. You guys voted, and the majority voted for me to do a recap from Season 19-25. So I have decided to do a recap from Season 21, and that will be up sometime in the next few days. It will also be my 25th recap here on BAV. Hope you enjoy it.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Jack: “Look at this studio, filled with glamourous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise! Including: This beautiful new living room furniture! This handsome $2,400 dollar Man's swiss gold ingot ring! And a sporty new $7,800 dollar Pickup truck! Over $57,000 dollars just waiting to be won today on Wheel of Fortune! And now here's your host, Pat Sajak!”
Introductions:
Mary Spencer – Homemaker, with one child and one on the way as well. (No preggers belly yet though) Enjoys art, sewing and creative writing. Doesn't publish her works, just does it for personal satisfaction.
Mirtha Castiano – Won $3,650 dollars in prizes on yesterday's show. From Cuba, became a U.S. Citizen in November 1984.
Chuck Thornton – From Las Vegas, Nevada. A grocery clerk by profession and also a father as well. Has one child, a 2-year old. Has been collecting comics for 22 years. He's also active in the church.
Game Spiel:
Pat: “$750 dollars, top dollar value for this round, try not to hit bankrupt, if you do you lose your cash but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.”
ROUND ONE
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Quite a long puzzle for the daytime era. Mary drew first backstage, and that also means she won the right to start the game today.
SPIN 1- A good first spin. Value: $400 dollars. Call: N, but surprisingly, there are no N's. Mirtha's turn.
SPIN 2- Mirtha spins, but she got bitten by the Bankrupt unfortunately. And while she recovers from those wounds, Chuck will spin.
SPIN 3- Chuck gets his first spin of the day. And he won't have much better luck, he lands on Lose a Turn! Back to Mary.
SPIN 4- Mary lands on $100. Call: R, Frequency: 3. That's $300 dollars.
SPIN 5- It's $150. Call: T, Frequency: 1. Total: $450.
SPIN 6- Mary gets $400 dollars. Call: D, Frequency: 1, $850 now. Mary buys an E. Seems like a safe buy, right? Right?! Wrong! No E's. Mary has $600 dollars left. Mirtha's turn.
SPIN 7- Mirtha will find the $175, just resting on the last peg before $750. Call: L, and there's one. $175 dollars.
SPIN 8- Value: $200. Call: M, And no M's. And Chuck will spin it.
SPIN 9- Chuck will land on that elusive top dollar value of $750! He calls an S. There's one. $750 dollars. He buys an A. Two of them. $500 dollars left in the bank.
SPIN 10- He appears to know it, but he'll spin. Value: $250, Call: Y. Frequency: 3. Total: $1250 dollars.
And he's gonna solve it.
_ _ Y _ _ _ L A Y
Y _ _ R _ A R D S

PHRASE
Chuck knows IF YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT you will win $1250 dollars!
Chuck will spend it in the kids room. $380 will net him that colour TV. $870 to go. For $500, he gets a computer and printer. That leaves $370. For $342, he gets the stuffed bears! That leaves $28 dollars for a gift certificate.
Duds: N (Mary), E (Mary), M (Mirtha)
Bankrupt: Mirtha (Just a turn)
Lose a Turn: Chuck
Mary – Nothing
Mirtha – Nada
Chuck - $1250

PEOPLE
Pat reminds us of course, that People does not always mean Proper Names giving the astute player a clue about this puzzle.
Mirtha gets the first crack at the wheel for Round 2.
SPIN 1- Mirtha lands on $250 dollars. Call: T. No T's. Chuck spins.
SPIN 2- Chuck lands on Lose a Turn, and Pat comments that it might be a good omen because he did that on the first spin of the last round and ended up winning it. Mary will spin now.
SPIN 3- She calls for $1000, but won't do too bad, $800. Call: N, Frequency: 1, Total: $800 dollars.
SPIN 4- And the $800 she landed on was directly after something else, a Lose a turn, which Mary will now land on. Back to Mirtha.
SPIN 5- And it's $600 for Mirtha. Call: D, Frequency: 2. Total: $1200 dollars.
SPIN 6- Even better this time, $900 dollars. Call: S, but we won't find any in this puzzle. Chuck's turn.
SPIN 7- Chuck will get the red $200. He hopes to find a Y, but letters are scarce this round. No Y. And we're over to Mary again who has $800 dollars.
Mary buys an A. But she'll only find one, and in the most predictable spot.
SPIN 8- Value: Red $300 (Before Bankrupt). Call: S. It was already called. Mirtha's turn.
SPIN 9- Mirtha won't like this... It's Bankrupt, which wipes her out of $1200 dollars. But it's a chance for Chuck to make some money.
SPIN 10- It's $550. Chuck calls an R. And there are two. That's $1100 dollars. He buys an E. Just one.
And he has $850 left. He also buys an I, which there is one of as well. $600 dollars.
SPIN 11- Value: $250. Call: G. Frequency: 1. Total: $850 dollars.
SPIN 12- And a nice value this time, $700 dollars. Chuck calls a B. One B, and his total now is $1550 dollars.

FINAL SPIN
Pat tells us that time is running short, so this round will be played for a Gucci gift certificate. Vowels worth nothing and consonants worth.... Nothing! It's a Lose a Turn. So Pat spins it again, and why does this always seem to happen, Pat always lands on a penalty and then does this, it's $2000 dollars! Suddenly, it's wide open and an opportunity for anybody to take the match.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
