00:48Hi, Seth.
00:49Thank you all very much.
00:51Thank you, and welcome again to Wheel of Fortune.
00:53And now, more applause, if you would.
00:55For our hostess, here comes Banna White.
00:57Banna!
00:58Hello!
01:06It's always my pleasure to say hello to three real stars of the show,
01:10starting right here with Rako DeFour.
01:12What a terrific name that is.
01:14From Richmond, California.
01:16Tell us about your life in Richmond, Rako.
01:17Okay, I'm a mother of three, and I have my own business, word processing and printing.
01:23Yeah.
01:24And when we get a chance, we like to go camping and we like to travel.
01:27Okay, it doesn't sound like you get a chance all that often.
01:29No, no.
01:29But lots of luck on our show.
01:31Ralph Eaton is here, all the way from Woodbridge, Virginia, huh?
01:34Long Hall.
01:35Yeah, that's near Washington, is it?
01:36Washington.
01:37And you work for the Washington Area Transit Authority.
01:40Rapid Transit.
01:41Yeah, you have family back there?
01:42Sure do.
01:43I have a wife and three boys.
01:44And you raise horses?
01:46We used to raise them.
01:48Now, I like to bet on them once in a while.
01:50I see.
01:51Okay.
01:52On occasion.
01:53All right.
01:54Fess up here, Ralph.
01:55Well, I do.
01:56All right.
01:56Good luck to you.
01:57And here is Conrad Damon.
01:59How are you, Conrad?
02:00I'm doing okay.
02:01Good.
02:01Junior at Stanford University.
02:03What are you majoring in up there?
02:05English.
02:06And where's your home originally?
02:07Kansas.
02:08Good.
02:09These are all one-word questions.
02:10I'd better ask more thoughtful questions.
02:12Right.
02:12In 25 words or less, tell us about Frisbee golf.
02:16You throw a Frisbee into an intricate basket and chain assembly in as few tries as you can.
02:21Oh.
02:21That's something you're seriously interested in.
02:23They travel.
02:23There's a tour and everything, right?
02:24Yes.
02:25You won tournaments.
02:25That's what I did last summer.
02:26Did you win?
02:26A lot of fun.
02:26Did you win stuff?
02:28I won four out of seven tournaments, but there's not a whole lot of money in it.
02:31In Frisbee golf?
02:32No.
02:33Well, maybe someday you get a big television contract and they'll, you know, the league will
02:35form and then they'll form the USFL Frisbee.
02:38Okay.
02:38Let's get going here.
02:39$1,000, top dollar value for this round.
02:42Try not to get bankrupt.
02:43If you do, you lose your cash, but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's
02:47yours to keep.
02:48Sometimes I just trail off because I know it's over.
02:50All right.
02:51Thing is the category.
02:52Just before the show, we'd your number, so you would start the game.
02:55Rayko, it's going to be you.
02:56Good luck, everybody.
02:56Okay.
02:57Let's go.
02:57Come on.

03:13Big money.
03:14Let's go.

03:31Huge money.

03:41I'll spin again.
03:42Okay.
03:46Come on.
03:46Big money.

04:15Rako, back to you.
04:16That's good.
04:17Come on.
04:18Big money.
04:19Big money.
04:20Come on.
04:21$200.
04:22Is there a P?
04:23We have a P up there, and you have $200, so give it another spin, not enough to buy
04:28a buy, so go ahead.
04:29Okay.
04:30Let's go.
04:31Come on.
04:32Big money.
04:33Come on.
04:34$200.
04:35Is there an M?
04:36Sure.
04:37In fact, there are three M's up there.
04:38$800.
04:39I'd like to buy a vowel.
04:40Which one?
04:41An A.
04:42Can we give her an A?
04:43Just one, I'm afraid.
04:44It's right there, and you're down to $550.
04:46I'd like to buy another vowel.
04:47Okay.
04:48An O.
04:49Well, you're like this.
04:50There are four O's.
04:51I would think that would help.
04:53You have just $300 left, but it is still your turn.
04:55That's the important thing.
04:56What do you want to do with it?
04:57I want to spin.
04:58Okay.
04:59Okay.
05:00Come on.
05:01Take money.

05:35Well, you're not finished yet.
05:36It's up to you, really.
05:37You have $1,150.
05:38I don't know.
05:39I don't know.
05:40I don't know.
05:41I don't know.
05:42I don't know.
05:43I don't know.
05:44What's that?
05:45I'd like to solve the puzzle.
05:46Okay.
05:47I guess you are finished.
05:48What's this thing?
05:49Cream of mushroom soup.
05:50That's it.
05:51Usually, it takes us one close call to make people quit.
05:57$1,150.
05:58You'll spend that money in the bedroom.
06:00What would you like?
06:01For $1,067, I'd like the bedroom set.
06:04Okay.
06:05You've got it.
06:06And that's it.
06:07$83 left.
06:08That will go either on an American Express gift certificate or an account.
06:11It's all up to you.
06:12Yes, certificate.
06:13Good decision.
06:14Jack, how about that furniture?
06:15Looks good.
06:16It sure does look good, Pat.
06:17Rako, it's Parkville by Bassett.
06:20This modern bedroom set features a triple dresser base with octagonal mirror, five drawer
06:26chest, panel headboard, and nightstand in a mahogany finish.
06:31It's from Bassett.
06:32$1,067.
06:33Hey, that's a nice start.
06:34Congratulations.
06:36We're going to take a break.
06:37We'll be right back with our second round.
06:39And as usual for round two, we'll put a very nice prize on the wheel.
06:42If you promise to come back, we'll tell you what it is.
06:46Yeah, sure.
06:47You're fresh.
06:48Oh, sure.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Hi.
06:51It's round two, and we have a very nice prize on the wheel.
06:52As promised, it says ring, and Jack will now explain that word.
06:54I'll be happy to, but as most unusual, a great motif adds interest to this lovely gold, diamond,
07:10and ruby ring.
07:11It's yours to enjoy from Sunshine Jewelers.
07:14$4,250.
07:16If you land on that special prize, it will go into your bank, and of course, if you solve
07:23the puzzle, it will automatically become yours, and then you'll have to walk around like
07:26this the rest of your life.
07:28I also want to remind you we have a second bankrupt out in the wheel.
07:31Watch out for that.
07:32Let's get to our next puzzle.
07:33Events is the category, and Ralph, you'll start.
07:36Let's go.
07:37All right.
07:38Let's go here.

08:39One, two, three, and four.
08:40Down to $2,600.
08:43I'm going to spin one more time.
08:44The man who bets on horses is going to spin.
08:45Come on.
08:46Let's go.
08:51Stop right in here anyway.
08:53There you go.
08:54I would like a P, please.
08:55Sure.
08:56There is one P.
08:57Now, Ralph, let's see what kind of a rambling, gambling guy you are.
09:00$3,200.
09:01What's it going to be?
09:02Enough to try to solve it.
09:03Okay.
09:04Presidential inauguration.
09:05Right.
09:06$3,200.
09:07We will venture into the kitchen and see what you would like.
09:08Okay.
09:09For $1,279, I would like the cooking center.
09:10Okay.
09:11That belongs to you.
09:12And you still have over $1,900 left.
09:13For $8.99, the refrigerator.
09:14Okay.
09:15Well, my wife's going to love that.
09:16Yeah.
09:17For $3,19, the color TV.
09:18Okay.

09:36For $500, the cookware.
09:38Okay.
09:39$2.03 to go.
09:40And for $150, the snack trays.
09:42That would leave $53 for either a gift certificate or we can put it on account.
09:45Gift certificate.
09:46I think you made the right decision there, Ralph.
09:49And you have some very nice prizes, and Jack Clark will tell you about them.
09:53We'll fix it in post.
09:54Jack.
09:55Okay.
09:56Well, we start the list with Quaker's five-piece set of tray tables.
