Airdate: May 29, 1985

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

A $12,000 Impulse

Over $108,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Lori Blanc: Court reporting student, is from Henderson, NV
Peggy Tumi: Church secretary, coaching an 8 and 9 year old soccer team, is from Avon Lake, OH
David Carr: Front desk clerk at a major hotel chain, aspiring actor, Poway, CA

Lori represents the mayor of Henderson by presenting Pat with a key to the city and membership certificate!

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!


David solves SOONER OR LATER.


(The contestant shot of David does not appear during the shopping.)


Sooner or later, someone could win a prize. We'll add a Harley-Davidson Sportster street bike (labeled BIKE) worth $5,524. You'll eventually hit it in Round 2, we think:


Peggy solves ADDING INSULT TO INJURY.





Peggy solves MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.



We still have time for one more round:


DING DING! DING DING!

We're running short again. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, for a consonant value of...$500 a piece.

David: L (DUD!)
Lori: M ($500)

Lori solves MORRIS THE CAT. Pat then explains that the puzzle was hard to categorize, as Morris is not exactly a fictional character.







BONUS ROUND:

We were denied a huge payoff not once, but twice. Peggy must not let us down. She picks...

Oldsmobile Calais Supreme ($13,244).

The final puzzle is...

A slight change with TSRNYA:

And she easily solves FRANK SINATRA to keep the car and drive home with $16,244 in prizes!
