Airdate: October 13, 1993
From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Rod Yonkers: (Returning with a total of $11,604)
Jim Tate: Married, is a Lieutenant for the Fort Worth Fire Department, from Granbury, TX
Belinda Montoya: Married, likes Bingo, reading, and Wheel, from Parkville, MO
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash. Our first puzzle awaits!
Jim solves JULIA ROBERTS MARRIES LYLE LOVETT.
We now add a prize, which will be a porcelain butterfly and fish sculpture (labeled ART) worth $2,600.
Also try to snatch what you can from the $2,500 space!
Rod reads what's on the board, but can he answer where we are? (Oddly, the bonus chimes do not sound)
He's right on the money with Tombstone.
We're not quite at silver, but you might still enjoy the $3,500 space!
Perfection! Belinda solves LOOKIN' FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.
Pat then challenges Charlies who he claims to know everything about music, and Pat asks him who originally sang that. Charlie just laughs.
Is this the right prize? We have a Cayman Islands holiday (labeled TRIP) worth $5,992.
Double perfection! Rod solves DARRYL STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SUNDAE.
Only three lost turns, so we have time for another round:
DING DING! DING DING!
Though we can't make it a triple. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth...$200 a piece. After waiting forever to play again, it's Jim's turn again:
Jim: T (DUD!)
Belinda: R
Rod: N (DUD!)
Jim: S (DUD!)
Belinda: L
Rod: D (x2)
Jim: P
Belinda: Y (DUD!)
Rod: H (DUD!)
Jim: M (DUD!)
Belinda: A
Rod: G (DUD!)
Jim: K
Jim solves DOUBLE-PARKED for $400.
We finish with a tie! Pat asks what should be done...and we'll break it with one more puzzle!
The Free Spin token must rest for a little longer than expected.
Rinse and spin again. Consonants are worth...$900 a piece. Rod begins this little extra:
(At this point, Belinda has now left the set.)
Rod: T (x3)
Jim: S (x2)
(The right-letter ding sounds on the T's)
Jim guesses UNITED STATES ARMY and UNITED STATES NAVY.
Rod: N (He adds to the fun by guessing UNITED STATES MARINES)
Jim: L
Jim solves UNITED STATES FLAG for $2,700 and the victory!
Just to rub it in, the Free Spin is now red and angry...
Rod leaves with a total of $17,204.
BONUS ROUND:
We have to squeeze this in. Jim picks the L and faces this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
He's got it with PCHO:
He reads what's on the board...
...and wins the trip to London worth $24,195! He's got $32,495 and will return!
Blast that Refresh key! Yes, I had to start this one all over again too. That's the third time it has happened since I started (though this one was not from the mouse like the previous two), and that's what I get for typing these recaps on a laptop.
