Airdate: June 20, 1980
Look at this studio filled with extravagant prizes including...
A 14-karat gold money clip and lighter
A pair of motorcycles
A 18th century style secretary
Total retail value at $38,000 which could be yours today on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Ken Thomas: Married, is a Marine Pilot and flies an A-6, North Carolina
Linda Louvier (?): Sales assistant for an insurance company
Charlotte Nelson (Returning with a 2-day total of $19,100)
It doesn't help when even Chuck doesn't know how to pronounce a name correctly.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Now for Round 1:
Ken solves THE CHARLESTON.
(Charlie O'Donnell catches a tickle in his throat while reading the prize copy, and coughs a little.)
A little glass of water for Charlie O, and we add a $1,000 space to the Wheel. Avoid that second Bankrupt though, cause we're beginning Round 2:
Charlotte solves ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.
(Charlotte was really unsure what to pick after the theatre party.)
Can Charlotte handle anymore choice? It could happen, as we haul out the $2,000 space for Round 3:
Ken solves APRIL FOOLS' DAY.
(The shot of Ken does not appear on the corner during the shopping.)
(After jokes about whether the bikes will arrive on time, the 90-day maximum waiting period for delivery is mentioned.)
We have another round ready!
DING DING! DING DING!
True service packed right in. The problem is, Chuck has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
Whatever the weather or condition. Again, Chuck has to give the Wheel a Final Spin (and just over two full revolutions). Consonants are worth... $200 a piece. Just too far.
Charlotte: L (DUD!)
Ken: S (x2) ($400)
Linda: T (x4) ($800)
Charlotte: J (DUD!)
Ken: N (DUD!)
Linda: G (DUD!)
Charlotte: X (DUD!)
Ken: A (x2) ($400)
Linda: P (x2) ($1,200)
Linda solves OPPOSITES ATTRACT.
Charlotte leaves with a total of $21,150 in prizes.
Ken will return next time!
During the post-game, Chuck and Susan talk about the aforementioned 90-day delivery period.
