From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
It's also the Red Letter Sweepstakes. While this recap won't go into detail, any letters will still be indicated.
Today's contestants:
Steve Fane: Married, is a casino supervisor at Atlantic City, is from McKee City, NJ
Jacqui Broughton: 3rd-year law student at Duke University School of Law, is from Meriden, CT
Brent Kelly (Returning with a total of $17,538)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, so try to maximize it from this round:
Perfection! Steve solves HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW...and has just won a Switzerland holiday worth $8,480.
You'll only have one chance for this prize. It's a Waikiki Beach holiday (labeled WAIKIKI) worth $4,572.
You can always try for some cash. Are you headed for the $2,500 in this round?
Vanna will reveal an ampersand...right?
Jacqui solves THUMB-RAISING FILM CRITICS. Thumbs up if you can get the $500 bonus!
She's right! They're Siskel & Ebert.
Perfection! Brent solves SUSPENDERS. Here is the Red Letter layout that was used for the sweepstakes. Can you unscramble this?
I can bet the $5,000 space was impatient. It's finally here, and so is our next puzzle!
Steve solves CAVALCADE OF STARS.
Now we still have time for another round...
DING DING! DING DING!
But to make sure we finish in time, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$1,500 a piece. Here goes Jacqui:
Jacqui: N (x2) ($3,000)
She guesses GOING ON DOWN.
Brent: S (DUD!)
Steve: R ($1,500)
Jacqui: T ($4,500)
One time around, and she solves MONEY TO BURN.
Brent leaves with a total of $21,538.
BONUS ROUND:
We have yet to award a bonus prize this week...
With one more chance, Steve takes the second E. This puzzle had better do it:
RSTLNE gives him...
Steve goes with HDWO:
Just after the H is revealed, he suddenly shouts SHIP to end with a win!
He deserves the Buick Park Avenue Ultra sedan worth $34,043! Steve ends the week on a good note with $44,923!
Pat acknowledges that they avoided a Bonus Round shutout week during the post-game.
