Airdate: December 25, 1986
Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...
A 40-inch big screen TV
A compact car
A $4,000 stereo jukebox
Over $64,000 just waiting to be won during Teen Week on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's nice ones (as they claim):
Valerie Garcia: 10th-grade, participates in student government, likes gymnastics and algebra
Ian Carr (?): 13 years old, likes Spanish and algebra, interested in law or journalism
Paula Lee: 10th-grade, writes ETCs, loves dancing and the beach
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $450 *SLAP!* ...make that $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will receive Pat's jacket. Maybe that won't be so bad.
Valerie solves FROZEN YOGURT.
Plenty of opportunities to cash in before, and someone is due to hit the $1,000 space!
Paula solves STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT.
We're getting a little bigger. Now seal the deal with the $2,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
No running late. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth...$800 a piece.
Paula: S (DUD!)
Valerie: T (x2) ($1,600)
Valerie guesses PHONE DIRECTORY and TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
Ian tries to spin immediately after.
Ian: L (x2) ($1,600)
Paula: N (DUD!)
Valerie: D ($2,400)
Ian: C ($2,400)
Ian guesses CALLING DIRECTORY.
Paula: G ($1,000)
Paula guesses COLLEGE DIRECTORY.
Valerie: M ($3,200)
Valerie finally solves COLLEGE DORMITORY.
Too bad Ian couldn't have quite the same experience. He's leaving with some nice parting gifts.
A jealous glare comes from the Free Spin token...
BONUS ROUND:
Sometimes the Speed-Up works just right. Time for Valerie to pick a prize. How about...
Dream vacation for four to Tahiti ($6,370).
Don't fail me, RSTLNE!
The last blank bites. She thinks SISTER and does not solve HONOR SYSTEM. She still has $3,950 and is in the finals.
I take that personally. Not one puzzle had an A in it. Sure, it's a vowel, but still...
