Airdate: October 4, 1983
Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...
A $14,000 Mazda RX7
A $16,000 Ladie's diamond watch
A two-week Hawaiian getaway
Over $133,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Dan Coffin: Manager of PR for a pizza franchise, originally from Chicago, IL
Gloria Pritchard: Married, starting an in-home bookkeeping service, Amarillo, TX
Ola Walker: Word processing supervisor
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Gloria solves BATTING A THOUSAND.
Gloria's scoreboard shuts off after the shopping prize copy.
Keep a lookout for a Dicker and Dicker mink shawl on the Wheel (labeled FUR) worth $3,000, only in this round:
Gloria solves VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE.
Someone could make a big comeback with a $5,000 space on the Wheel!
DING DING! DING DING!
We're running out of time. Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are $5,000 a piece!
Dan: D ($7,700)
Gloria: P (x3!) ($15,000)
(Gloria is briefly credited with $1,500 instead of the proper $15,000.)
Gloria SWEEPS THE GAME with PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!
(After a commercial break...)
Not exactly the best melody playing inside the minds of Dan and Ola right now. But they still leave with some nice parting gifts.
The Free Spin token plays a similar melody.
BONUS ROUND:
Gloria can try to add to her collection...
Mazda RX7 ($14,044).
The final puzzle is...
The default NRLTSE dominates her mind:
Whoops! She's stuck on WESTERN, and does not solve MYSTERY NOVEL (although Pat likes her guess of WESTERN NAVEL).
She's still going home happy anyway, with $19,200 in prizes!
...during the fee plugs, they shoehorned a then-current advertisement over one of the old ones and played Changing Keys in the background anyway. Weird, as it does not remotely match.
