November 1984 (Barry/Jovan/Renee)
"Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous and exciting merchandise, including this... add a touch of sparkle with this $8,000 sapphire/diamond bracelet! And brighten up your lapel with this $3,100 diamond "LOVE" pin! And, bring Carnegie Hall to your living room with this $7,000 grand piano! Over $92,000 just waiting to be won on WHEEL OF FORTUNE! And now, here is your host, Pat Sajak!"
Tonight's players are:
Barry Richards, from Phoenix, AZ. He is a firefighter, is married with one child, hobbies are volleyball, golf and basketball
Jovan (pronounced "Yo-Van") (Pat says his last name, but I can't decipher it. When asked, Jovan says it's a Yugoslavian surname). He is from Spokane, WA, where he works as an emergency physician. Married and has a daughter.
Renee Rumchek (sp?) (no hometown mentioned), works as a payroll assistant, and is "an aspiring actress), enjoys skiing, singing and dancing.
"$1,000 is the top dollar value for this round, try not to hit Bankrupt, if you do you'll lose your cash but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Our first puzzle is a Phrase"

Barry, $200, N, 1 N ($200)
Barry, $600, R, 2 R's ($1,400)
Barry, E, 2 E's ($1,150)
Barry, O, 2 O's ($900)

Barry, $500, S, 2 S's ($2,300)

Barry solves it with SWORN TO SECRECY, and caps off a PERFECT ROUND by doing so! He now has $4,450 to go shopping with, and he buys...
for $1,817, a hope chest from Habersham Plantation, and a set of linens and towels ($2,633 left)
for $530, a 3-day, 2-night trip to Las Vegas ($2,103 left)
for $1,000, carpeting from Galaxy ($1,103 left)
for $685, silver-plated stemware from Michael C. Fina ($418 left)
for $230, brass floor lamp ($188 left)
for $180, a set of hardcover books from Simon & Schuster ($8 left, which he places ON ACCOUNT!)
(we get a solid 1:50 of Jack reading prize copy, and a near-complete listen to "Frisco Disco" as a result)
Totals following Round 1 are...
Barry: $4,442 ($8 on account)
Jovan: $0
Pam: $0
For Round 2, top dollar is still $1,000, and we've also added a prize to the Wheel: the GPZ305 motorcycle by Kawasaki, valued at $1,990 (modeled by Vanna, and complete with shopping pricetag also).
It is marked "BIKE" on the Wheel (and uses much smaller lettering than normal), and if you land on it, it'll go in your bank. Solve the puzzle without hitting Bankrupt and it'll be yours. And speaking of Bankrupt, we've added a second one of those to the Wheel. Next puzzle is a Thing (and an unusually-short-for-Round-2 puzzle, at only 13 letters)

Next puzzle is a Quotation.

(I should point out that, at 19 letters, this is the longest puzzle of the night, an unusual instance of none of the night's puzzles reaching or exceeding 20 letters)
(oddly, the shot of the puzzleboard also includes the Wheel in it)
Renee, $500, S, 3 S's ($1,500)

And Barry solves it with FIVE SIX PICK UP STICKS to win the round with $600. Adding in his "on account" money, Barry has $608 to spend, and he buys...
for $375, a Tomy Omnibot robot ($233 left)
for $180, an RCA 5" B&W TV and AM/FM radio combo ($53 left, which goes on a gift certificate)
And the final totals for the night are...
Barry: $5,050 (winner)
Jovan: Lovely Parting Gifts
Renee: $2,000
In the Bonus Round, Barry chooses to play for a Colt Premier 4-door sedan, valued at $10,418.
Tonight's bonus puzzle is a Person (and keep in mind, Person does not always mean proper name)

(when the category strip comes on screen, it is white. It had been red, matching Vanna's dress, up to this point)
For his letters, Barry calls S, T, R, N, L, and O (a rare instance of someone calling something other than E in the five-and-a-vowel era). Those letters give him the following to work with...
- - - S - L / - N
- - S T R - S S
He has 15 seconds... and almost immediately nails it with DAMSEL IN DISTRESS to win the car! His grand total for the night is $15,468!
