Airdate: October 8, 1980
Look at this studio filled with extravagant prizes including...
An amethyst ring
A china cabinet
A trip to Tahiti
Total retail value over $43,000 which could be yours today on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Sonny Alderman: Physical education teacher and basketball coach, Philadelphia, PA
Ruth Roudine (returning with a 1-day total of $2,400)
Janet Tamisian: Student, also a part time DJ at a roller skating rink (Handle: Stargazer)
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.
Janet solves THINGAMAJIG.
We have this thing known as the $1,000 wedge. After Round 1, you might need it.
Ruth solves WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
Chuck says that brass table is going to be very heavy!
As long as you don't have to lift gold, the $2,000 wedge should be a pleasure to hit.
Chuck gasped as soon as Janet called an I. A potential victory shot down by a bad vowel. Ouch.
Later, Sonny asked to solve the problem instead of the puzzle.
He solves VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
We can only squeeze in a puzzle, but no shopping. Chuck does the Final Spin, and we play for a Giorgio gift certificate. Consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!
Okay, we're serious about time. Chuck will try another Final Spin, and consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!
You're laughing now, aren't you? One more Final Spin from Chuck, with consonants worth...$250 a piece.
Sonny: T ($250)
Ruth: R ($250)
Janet: S (DUD!)
Sonny: G ($500)
Ruth: N (DUD!)
Janet: A
Sonny: L (DUD!)
Ruth: C ($500)
Ruth solves CAIRO EGYPT for a small gift certificate.
Janet came very close in Round 3, but Ruth is up to $6,050 and gets to play one more time.
