Wheel of Fortune: Season 25 (2007-2008)
April 1, 2008
Wheel Around the World (Day 2)
No fooling around here, we're going international - from Spain and Turkey to Malaysia and Thailand, it's Wheel Around the World!
Can we recover from the previous episode's $100,000 loss? I sure hope so. Also, Brenda Strong wishes Wheel a happy 25th: "All housewives love Wheel of Fortune, even desperate ones."
Speaking of "Desperate Housewives", how about this category for our first Toss-Up, worth $1,000?

Russ spots some CHINESE ACROBATS.
Let's meet tonight's travelers, shall we?
Russ Talbot: Las Vegas, NV, originally from the mountains of Idaho; runs structural engineering business with 2 college friends; enjoys dirt-biking and white-water rafting, enjoyed snow-machining in Idaho
Pammy Parker: Long Island, ME; postmaster (manages the town's mail), calls her job the best in the world; loves to travel; married for 30 years, has 4 kids
Jana Harris: Birmingham, AL; executive director for nonprofit educational arts corporation that places art programs in the city's schools; independent filmmaker
Let's go double or nothing with this $2,000 Toss-Up.

Russ is A FRIEND TO THE END, so he's tripled up.
Keep it up, Russ, and you (or one of the women) could win this featured prize: a trip to Turkey (Ciragan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul, Turkish Airlines, labeled WHEEL AROUND THE WORLD) worth $9,000!
And why not take some luggage with you? You know, the three-piece package from RICARDO BEVERLY HILLS LUGGAGE.
At least the $10000 wedge isn't fool's gold.

DOMINATION! Russ can buy a STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR with all that dough (which he had NO idea he'd accumulated).
We see how Wheel is played in Turkey.
That Campbell's JACKPOT can take you across the globe if you win it.

Pammy might visit a BARTENDER AT A LUAU in a place that she hopes has a nice beach and surfing - Maui (The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali, Pleasant Holidays)! That trip is worth $5,850...
...giving her a total of $7,950 that round.
TRIP-WINNING ID: RS2854238
DUDS: M (Pammy, used FREE SPIN), S (Pammy), O (Russ)
LOSE A TURN: Jana ($650 + LUGGAGE)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $9,250
Our next round, sponsored by ActivOn, we have quite a few options - the MYSTERY wedges, with either a BANKRUPT or $10,000 behind them, and the BIG MONEY wedge, with $5,000, $7,500, or even $25,000!

Russ sweeps the Toss-Ups with ORCHID PLANT, so the gap between him and Pammy is closed by $1,300.
That $5000 wedge could help him - or Jana - come out on top.

DUDS: O (Russ), C (Pammy)
MISSOLVE: Russ ($6,050)
UNCLAIMED: $1,300 (Jana), $6,050 (Russ)
CUMULATIVE WINNINGS: $42,200
BANKRUPT TRASH: WILD CARD
BONUS ROUND
Pammy could plan her next trip around the world with a 2008 Volvo or Toyota...or better yet, win $100,000!
She brought her husband Randy, who's never been to Hawaii, so Pat tells him he's gonna go. :lol: Pammy's final spin of the night lands her on the quadruple-star.

She gets WE KNOW...but spews out YOU, HOW, WHEN, WHY, IT, THEM, SHE, HE, HER, IT again, and BOY before the buzzer sounds. Afterwards, she guesses EVERYTHING and NOTHING! (No, really!)
Turns out, she said WE KNOW HIM...kidding, "I know him" when referring to Randy, but it doesn't get her $45,000. Final score: a respectable $24,100.
Chat: The bald-head prank. Just watch.
My rating: 7
Great match between Jana's opponents; too bad she couldn't cash in.
