Airdate: October 20, 1995
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Becky Dobbs (Returning with a 2-day total of $20,120)
Tracey Salem: Employed with a CPA firm, also a college student, Delano, CA
Steve Munk: Married, is a dentist (so Pat calls him Dr. Steve), Smithtown, NY
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash. Let's begin!
Perfection! Becky solves THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF. Don't be nervous! The $500 can be yours for answering who said it...
She guesses John F. Kennedy. Over to Tracey...
...no guess. Can Steve get it?
Yes! It's Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Around again to Becky, as she has won the Surprise...a trip to Malaysia and stay at Shangri La Hotel worth $6,300!
The Wheel feels a bit bare, so we'll give it a painting of Archway to Nikonos (labeled ART) worth $1,295.
Add the $2,500 and Double Play to the Wheel, and that could be quite a treat.
Steve solves I'VE MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION.
Say hello again to the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces!
Perfection! Steve solves MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS ARMSTRONG.
We add a cruise (labeled CRUISE) worth $8,300.
We unleash the power of $5,000 again in this round:
Tracey solves WHITE ELEPHANT SALE.
Hardly any lost turns so far, giving us time for a fifth round:
DING DING! DING DING!
A little late for this, but Pat is still ordered to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$800 a piece.
Tracey: D ($2,000)
(The "ding" sounds on the correct letter.)
Tracey solves DISPOSABLE RAZOR.
Becky leaves with a total of $29,520.
BONUS ROUND:
Can Steve end the week strong?
He grabs the first E from the envelope holder. We find this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
Steve will go with CPMA:
He talks it out, and eventually solves FIRM HANDSHAKE!
This gives him what they've been trying to give away, the $25,000! He has $35,300 in cash right now, but he could get more tomorrow...I mean Monday!
During the post-game, Pat mentions he counted a total of 20 E's in the main game, which was correct.
