Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...
A $21,000 gourmet's delight
A $11,000 pair of zircon and diamond earrings
A $16,000 Oldsmobile Delta 88
Over $106,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Mike Case: Artist, specializes in pen & ink renderings, Covington, LA
Renita Beckton: Engineering assistant for a public utility, San Diego, CA
Laura Salcito: Bartender, interested in astrology (Pat tests her by saying he's Scorpio, she says he's in November).
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!
Renita solves WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID.
The portrait dolls have Pat and Vanna's faces on them.
Is Renita willing to guard a prize? We'll see with a Dicker and Dicker man's lumberjacket mink coat (labeled FUR) worth $4,000.
Renita solves FASHION PLATE.
The silver is at it again. Try and hit the $5,000 space!
Renita solves DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
(After a commercial break...)
And that ends our game...
...meaning a main-game sweep by Renita! What a way to do it!
I bet Mike and Laura got to watch some priceless hilarity that the TV audience didn't. They couldn't be at the center of it though, so they leave with the nice parting gifts.
The other Free Spin also got to eavesdrop a bit.
BONUS ROUND:
Pat actually remarks that there were four C's remaining in the puzzle, and she was tempted to spin one more time, but didn't want to BANKRUPT the whole bundle.
Why not add a little more to it? Renita picks...
Tiffany furnished pair of 18-karat gold earrings ($11,000).
The final puzzle is...
She tries what many think of as smart, which is RTSNLE:
And she easily solves MOUNT EVEREST to COMPLETE THE SWEEP and keep the jewelry! She leaves with $41,050 including three big prizes!
