Airdate: February 17, 1995
From Walt Disney World in Orlando, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Seeking stardom:
Shelley Woolcott: Has a pets' taxi service, Little Rock, AR
Sean Irwin: Firefighter, Twin Falls, ID
Sandi Minkler (Returning with a 2-day total of $48,995)
Pat mentions the last post-game in which the three contestants' triangular dealies (the "arrows") didn't really have names. Sandi suggested calling them Veels.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and your stardom begins here:
Sandi solves FUNK & WAGNALLS.
Wait. I heard some beeps! Sandi could earn an extra $1,000 from this question...
Who are they?
She's correct with dictionary/encyclopedia publishers. She only gets credit for one of those answers, though.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Presenting an Alaskan cruise (labeled ALASKA) worth $7,296.
We can catch a very good picture if you cash in from the $2,500 space.
Shelley solves PAROCHIAL SCHOOL OF FISH.
There's some good money already, which could get even better with the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces.
Perfection! Sandi solves MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
Another one forward, as we bring in a piano (labeled PIANO).
There is a chance of big money if someone bumps into the $5,000) space.
Sandi solves THE TERRIBLE TWOS.
We could fit in another puzzle...
DING DING! DING DING!
Oh Sandi, we're running out of time. We'll let Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, setting consonants at a value of...$300 a piece.
Sandi: L (DUD!)
Shelley: N (x2) ($600)
Sean: S (DUD!)
Sandi: B ($1,000)
Shelley: D ($900)
Sean: M (x2) ($600)
Sandi: C (DUD!)
Shelley: H ($1,200)
Shelley solves MAN OH MAN OVERBOARD. Man, if the Wheel actually held on to the silver.
That probably wouldn't have helped Sean though. He didn't solve anything, so he takes home some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Sandi's last opportunity, as she's retiring undefeated. Try for one more prize!
Her final envelope is the second E. Her final puzzle:
RSTLNE gives her...
Make this last game a win with PCBA:
She instantly solves CUPCAKE...
...and she finishes with the Regal Valanti 222 SE sports boat worth $24,557! She retires with a total of $91,748, in cash and prizes!
