Airdate: November 29, 1988
Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes including...
A Shipboard party
A pair of signed and numbered Picasso etchings
A Mercedes-Benz automobile
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $204,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Pamela Vandermark: First-grade teacher in Los Angeles, from Cypress, CA
Robin Bowman (female): Homemaker, works as an elementary school volunteer, from Mount Carmel, TN
Chet Colinda: Sales representative for a major car dealership, from Scranton, PA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and the first puzzle shows up right here:
Perfection! Pamela solves THE ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR.
After beating the odds of a sometimes uncooperative Wheel, we'll break for a prize. Start with a Pacific Marquis *thhhhhhh*spa (labeled SPA) worth $5,050.
Things look good for Pamela now, but maybe the $2,500 insists otherwise. Someone else gets to start.
Pat accidentally said $450 instead of $400 on Robin's third spin, but corrected himself. To be fair, they're both red.
Double perfection! Robin solves AMERICAN CONSULATE.
We hope to reward Chet for his patience. Will the $3,500 be good?
Pamela solves WHOLE NEW IMAGE.
Will this prize fit? It's a Van Cleef and Arpels furnished pair of 3-karat diamond leaf earclips (labeled DIAMONDS) worth $8,200.
Well, that was a short puzzle earlier. But the $5,000 space is happy to find this one next!
Chet admits to looking at the wrong arrow before calling the R.
Chet solves A TIME TO BE BORN AND A TIME TO DIE.
The Wheel insists on fair treatment. Now how about another puzzle?
DING DING! DING DING!
After each one hogs an entire puzzle, we get this. It's a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth...$500 a piece.
Robin: G (x2) ($1,800)
Chet: R (DUD!)
Pamela: H (x2) ($1,000)
Robin: T ($2,300)
Robin guesses CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
Chet: C ($500)
Chet guesses CHANGING OF THE...then stops.
Pamela: L ($1,500)
And Pamela says CHANGING OF THE LEADER.
Robin: F ($2,800)
Robin tries CHANGING OF THE LIGHTS.
Chet: S ($1,000) (And a freeze.)
Pamela: A (x2) ($1,500) (Another freeze.)
Robin: K (DUD!)
Chet: V ($1,500) (Followed by an attempt to buy a vowel.)
...and he didn't need the extra vowel. He solves CHANGING OF THE LEAVES.
BONUS ROUND:
After a weird Speed-Up, Chet defends his lead. Now we have Plenty of prizes here.
Chet picks the $25,000. You know what to do...
Remember, he gets RSTLNE...
And he gives us ICHF:
He guesses HORSE ENGINE, but does not solve HAPPY ENDING. He leaves with $6,250 in cash.
