Look at this studio filled with extravagant prizes including...
A Sterling silver bracelet
A rattan gazebo
A trip to Hawaii
Total retail value over $41,000 which could be yours today on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants (all female):
Virginia (?): Elementary school teacher
Jan Shodean (returning with a 1-day total of $7,400)
Lori Lucci: Sales representative
The source video is very fuzzy.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.
Lori solves SALT LAKE CITY UTAH.
Chuck gives a shout-out to Salt Lake City's KUTV after the prize copy. At the time it was NBC, but not anymore.
The $1,000 and second Bankrupt both like you. You know which one you want and which you don't.
Lori solves CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Chuck talks about the people who question why he licks his fingers before touching the Wheel pegs, saying he doesn't know where it's been. Chuck says he doesn't care where it's been!
We have another puzzle set up, hoping for positive effects after you hit the $2,000 space.
Perfection! Lori solves ARETHA FRANKLIN.
A much better round allows us to play one more, but we don't have much time. Chuck gives the Wheel a Final Spin, with consonants worth...$250 a piece. Virginia starts.
Virginia tries to spin the Wheel first.
Virginia: T (x2) ($400)
Jan: S ($200)
Lori: C (DUD!)
Virginia: M (DUD!)
Jan: D (DUD!)
Lori: I
Lori guesses ORTHODONTIST.
Virginia: P ($750)
Jan: R (DUD!)
Lori: G (DUD!)
Virginia: L (DUD!)
Jan: K (DUD!)
Lori: N ($250)
The N briefly slides out of the trilon.
Lori solves HYPNOTIST for a SWEEP!
We know who's pulling it in here, and that means Virginia leaves with nice parting gifts.
Jan leaves with $7,400 in prizes.
Lori is a new champion with $7,350 and will return next time!
In the post-game, Chuck and Susan talk about how they have done over 1,600 shows since the beginning.
