Airdate: 1989 (before February 6)
Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes including...
A first-class vacation to Europe on the Orient Express
A Hydra-Sports ocean boat
His/hers automobiles
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $238,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's mob:
Eileen Holly: Massage therapist for 10 years and counting
Irene Williams: Works for a major dairy company, from Indianapolis, IN
Ray Vermilion: Works with a community Christian high school, Bakersfield, CA
Eileen also brought a bottle of massage oil for Pat, a gift all the way from New Jersey! Irene brought a stuffed cow doll, and Pat offers the massage oil to her before taking it back.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, which should be a good feeling. Now let's begin:
Perfection! Eileen solves LUCILLE AND DEBUTANTE BALL.
What is Wheel's fascination with Lucille Ball this season?
A very good start. While she's happy, we sneak in Ricardo luggage and a trip to Paradise Island Resort & Casino (labeled TRIP) worth $4,362.
To keep everyone's composure, we also have to be sneaky about the $2,500 space.
The Wheel isn't ready to stop yet, and already Ray calls a T.
Hyperventilating from the TRIP, Ray solves FACING THE ISSUES.
Two rounds, and already we have two very good scores. We might just make it three with the $3,500 space, unless Ray has something against it.
Irene guesses WINNER OF A UNANIMOUS DECISION.
The trilon containing the B briefly shuts off after being lit.
Eileen solves WINNER BY A UNANIMOUS DECISION.
I can't fault Irene for that one, but that's what vowels are for. She could have knocked it out with an O.
Pat was about to drink the massage oil!
We'll just go ahead and put another prize on the Wheel. Here comes a Crawford of Jamestown oak dining room with silver flatware (labeled DINE) worth $7,119.
Even with close scores, the $5,000 space could still startle someone from behind.
DING DING! DING DING!
Just so we can keep our cool, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$5,000 a piece!
Eileen: H (DUD!)
Irene: K (DUD!)
Ray: H (Repeat)
Eileen: W (DUD!)
Irene: Y (DUD!)
Ray: P (DUD!)
Eileen: G (DUD!)
Irene: A (x3) ($5,900)
Ray: I (DUD!)
Eileen: B (DUD!)
Irene: F (DUD!)
Ray: Z (x4!) ($20,000)
Although no more vowels remained, Pat never said anything about it. Luckily he got revenge.
Ray reads what's on the board for the sum.
After an incorrect solve that still fits, I do feel quite sorry for Irene. She's leaving with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Guess what? Somebody made it to Bonus Land after all! Time to choose a prize...
...and he shoots for the $25,000. Here goes!
Let's bring out RSTLNE...
And in goes GMDA:
With that, he instantly solves SUGAR DADDY to keep the cash and leave with $53,262 in all!
