April 30. 1985 recap

Airdate: April 30, 1985

Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...

A $10,000 pearl and diamond ring
A $15,000 sportscar
A $5,400 camper trailer

Over $106,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Tony Kobliska: Married, is a supervisor for a phone company, Bakersfield, CA
Bob Casterline: Printing press assistant, also a little league coach, Dallas, PA
Kathy Malashock: Studying advertising at University of Nebraska, graduating and hopes to get hired, Omaha, NE

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!


Kathy solves YOU CAN'T FOOL MOTHER NATURE.



Prize time! Now we put in a Tiffany furnished sterling silver flower box (labeled SILVER) worth $1,975. Can you take it in this round?


Kathy solves CLEAN AS A WHISTLE.



Kathy still hasn't lost a turn yet. Is that a sign? Will the $5,000 gravitate her way?


Kathy solves OLDIES BUT GOODIES.

(After a commercial break...)



We're not done yet, but we can squeeze one more in for a Gucci gift certificate. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin for...$800 a piece. Tony starts:

Tony: S (DUD!)
Bob: D (DUD!)
Kathy: R ($800)
Tony: L ($800)
Bob: N (x2) ($1,600)
Kathy: W (DUD!)
Tony: C (DUD!)
Bob: T (DUD!)
Kathy: K (DUD!)
Tony: P (DUD!)
Bob: M ($2,400)

Tony solves FAMILY REUNION for $2,400 towards a gift certificate.


Family? Ha! Only one could get the final puzzle. Unfortunately for Tony, that leaves him with the parting gifts.





BONUS ROUND:

She just could not be stopped. Now Kathy points at a prize in Bonus Land...

Mazda RX7 sportscar ($15,383).

The final puzzle is...

She individually points, but she's no individual here...it's STLNRE:

Strangely, she gets PRIZE, but she does not solve CONSOLATION PRIZE. Even so, what's so bad about leaving with $14,850 in prizes?
