Airdate: Late 1988
Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes including...
A two-week private vacation in the Caribbean
A pair of pink sapphire and diamond earclips
A pair of Chevys
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $201,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Shari Shulman: Received masters in reading and hopes to find a teaching job, Syosset, NY
Tom McPherson: It's his anniversary, he likes NASCAR races and baseball cards, Johnson City, TN
David Perez: Student in Harvard learning Economics, Weslaco, TX
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and that's not really easy to say right now...for some reason:
Perfection! Shari solves ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.
She's on a roll, suggesting somebody will find their way to a gourmet baker's rack, cookware, and...delicacies (labeled GOURMET) worth $4,086.
There were so many potential plugs in that copy. And Bob Goen hasn't even arrived yet!
To try and make this more exciting than the ride, how about we add a $2,500 space?
Pat accidentally said $500 for David's first spin, but corrected himself.
Shari solves SET THE WHEELS IN MOTION.
Keep that score high in the sky with the $3,500 space.
Shari solves EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT.
Do I sense a theme here?
Let's slow down for another prize: a pair of Van Cleef and Arpels furnished pink sapphire and diamond earclips (labeled JEWELRY) worth $7,000.
And let's get back in motion with assistance from the $5,000 space!
Shari briefly sounded like she said A for a second time (maybe just the accent), but corrected herself to E, which was allowed.
Shari solves LUCILLE AND SOCCER BALL to extend her lead much further!
Against normal practice, there is a commercial break between Rounds 4 and 5 despite there also being one between Rounds 3 and 4.
How much more does Shari want? A cherry on top with this round, I guess.
It will have to be, as Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$250 a piece. Tom starts.
Tom: N (DUD!)
David: T (x2) ($500)
Shari: S ($250)
Tom: L (DUD!)
David: R (x2) ($1,000)
Shari: W (DUD!)
Tom: P ($250)
Tom solves SHORT PERIOD OF TIME for a small sum.
Just a drop of blood drawn, but none for David, and he ends up with some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
What say we add to the sum? Shari could win any of five big prizes, one of which is cash!
And $25,000 is what she wants!
We'll give her RSTLNE for free...
Now it's up to her with DHMA:
She does not solve THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, but how bad is $30,650, really?
