Airdate: 1989 (before February 6)
Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes including...
A $60,000 Hydra-Sports ocean boat
His/Hers Buicks
Precious gems
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $243,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Arnie Riche: Systems analyst for a major human resources agency, from Jericho, NY
Judy Yellen: Retired CPA, Manalapan, NJ
Valerie Gawthrop: Waitress, Tulsa, OK
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and now for your first puzzle:
Perfection! Arnie solves SPENCER AND DICK TRACY. He and Pat hug each other afterwards, but remember to consider Pat's spine.
Are we on the same page for the prize? We have a pair of Lazare Kaplan diamonds (labeled DIAMONDS) worth $5,000.
Plenty of top-dollar landings in Round 1, so you could repeat it with the $2,500 space.
Judy solves EAST SIDE WEST SIDE ALL AROUND THE TOWN.
No bad wedge can keep you down, but the $3,500 space should always send you higher and higher.
Judy solves PSYCHIC PHENOMENON.
You may bring out the prize now: His/hers Edwards-Lowell ranch mink jackets (labeled FURS) worth $10,200.
No surprise how they'll react to the $5,000 space.
Pat accidentally says there is one A in the puzzle, but corrects himself.
Perfection! Arnie solves HEART-TO-HEART TALK.
Be honest. At least two of you are up for another round, right?
The buzzer does not sound on the incorrect T.
DING DING! DING DING!
I know we can complete this round, but Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
No big deal. Again, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
The things I do for you. One more time, a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$1,500 a piece.
Arnie: R (DUD!)
Judy: L (x2) ($3,000)
Judy guesses CLASSICAL ROCK.
Valerie: S (x2) ($3,000)
Valerie quickly solves CLASSICAL JAZZ.
BONUS ROUND:
Lookie! Arnie makes it to Bonus Land for a prize, and after he looks around at...
His/hers Buicks
Precious gems package (about $40,000)
Rug ($50,000)
Hydra-Sports 2500 boat ($60,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
...he chooses to play for Vanna White!
Actually, he goes for the cash. M.G. says he was getting ready to talk about Vanna.
From RSTLNE comes...
And from HADM:
He immediately solves THE WINDS OF WAR to claim the cash and leave with $34,150 in cash! He's still just as excited as (if not more than) he was in Round 1!
Vanna asks Pat where it hurts during the post-game.
