Airdate: Unknown (1991)

Exciting prizes just waiting to be won, including...

Fowler spa bath ($4,000)
Bosch kitchen appliance package ($6,007)
Commodore executive ($24,580)

It's the greatest wheel around, with some of the great celebrities around playing for you at home, this is Celebrity Wheel of Fortune!

Today's stars:
Comedy duo, Chris Kirby & Terry!
National singing success, Karen Knowles!
King of the Iron Man, Grant Kenny!

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $400. Apparently Terry is playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

NAME

CHRIS	Karen	Grant
$135: P (DUD!)	$180: R (x2) $90: Y (DUD!)	$75: S $400: N (DUD!)
	180	75
$90: B (DUD!)	$90: T (x2) $90: D $110: W Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	470

How many revolutions did Grant's first spin make?!

NAME

Karen solves ROD STEWART.

Chris	Karen	Grant
	470	75
	$470 cash

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to $750.

Round 2

PHRASE

Chris	KAREN	Grant
		75
	$130: T $210: S (x2) $210: N Lose A Turn!	$280: R (DUD!)
	550	75
$130: O (Vowel Call)	$280: D (DUD!)	$110: B (DUD!)
	550	75
$280: Q (DUD!)	$110: Y (DUD!)	$280: F $555: M (DUD!)
	550	355
$340: L $390: P $110: C Lose A Turn!	$210: K Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
840	760

Terry "called" the O, and Chris told him not to do that.

PHRASE

Karen solves AS FLAT AS A PANCAKE.

Chris	Karen	Grant
840	1,230	355
	$1,230 cash

Terry took up a lot of our time, so Burgo will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth $700, and Grant begins:

Round 3

TITLE

Grant: R
Chris: F (DUD!)
Karen: L (x3)
Grant: N (DUD!)
Chris: P (DUD!)
Karen: D (DUD!)
Grant: K (DUD!)

Karen SWEEPS THE GAME by solving TOTAL RECALL for $1,400.

In addition to $2,630 in cash, her home viewer also gets a Kangaroo Explorer cruise worth $5,188.

Chris	Karen	Grant
1,540	2,630	1,055
	$2,630 cash Cruise

Nothing converted by Chris or Grant, but their home viewers each receive his/hers Citizen watches as a consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

The home viewer's letter choices are submitted in advance, and they can give four consonants and a vowel.

Karen spins the Golden Wheel, and it lands on...

A complete sewing machine package ($4,993)

And it's time for the final puzzle:

It didn't work for Karen, as she does not solve KYLIE MINOGUE. But her home viewer still has $7,818 in prizes!
