Due to my work schedule, this will be the only show I will host until my April hiatus ends.
Here are the rules:
-Two games are played with the returning champion playing the first. There are three rounds in each game and the top dollar values are $1,000, $1,500 and $2,000 respectively.
-The winners of the two games take part in the Head-To-Head All-Cash Showdown. One round is played with $2,000 as top dollar and a Prize wedge on the wheel. Landing on the prize allows you to pick it up with the next turn proceeding normally. If a contestant hits Bankrupt while holding a Prize wedge, that wedge gets returned to the wheel.
-The winner of the Head-To-Head All-Cash Showdown plays the Bonus Round for a prize, using the four-and-one-vowel format with the category given after your chosen letters are revealed. You have seven guesses or 48 hours (whichever comes first) with the option to give up.
Also:
-$100 is now the minimum value on the wheel.
-You now have the option to put unused money on a gift certificate instead of on account.
-Buy a Vowel is retired and there is only one Lose a Turn on the wheel for the entire game.
-Limitations on vowel-calling in the Speed-Up are lifted.
I need Michael, our champion from 1975, to check in and I need five other players. Who's in for some hour-long fun?

It's been a LONG time, but this seems interesting enough to bring myself out of net game retirement for a bit.
EDIT: I'm in, just in case that wasn't clear.

*Big Wheels stars up*
Jim Thornton: Look at this contemporary living room group!
This handy travel trailer!
A trip to Iceland!
This powerful snowmobile!
This rugged motorcycle!
A cruise in the Bering Sea!
And two new cars!
These are just some of the many exciting prizes available. Total retail value of all these prizes: more than $285,000! And are yours to buy today, as we begin a full-hour of Wheel of Fortune! And now, here's your host: Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Thank you, Jim! Hello, everybody! Welcome back to Wheel of Fortune! We have six contestants today ready to play for any of the fabulous prizes you see here on stage and perhaps tons of cash later down the road. Before we do that, please give me a hand in welcoming our hostess, Susan Stafford!
*cheers and applause as Susan walks on stage*
Susan: Thanks, everybody and thank you, Kevin. Are you ready to meet our first three contestants?
Me: I sure am. Who do we have playing our first game?
Susan: Our first contestant comes from from Holbrook, Massachusetts. Please welcome Frank Santori!
Next up is a cashier whose hobbies include writing, technology and studying Korean: Kourtney Wilson!
Finally, our returning champion is a reader and writer from Pennsylvania whose one-day winnings total $1,300: Michael Koontz!
Me: Let's get to know our players a little bit more, starting with Frank. What can you tell us about yourself, Frank?

Well Kevin. I am 22 years old from the great state of Massachusetts. I am a full-time college student studying early childhood education. In my spare time, I enjoy shopping for retro video games and making gaming videos for YouTube.

Okay, and I hope you have fun here today as you make Wheel another hobby of yours. Finally, we have Michael Koontz on the end. He's back with $1,300 in prizes.
*applause*
Ready to win some more, Michael?

Then I hope you're ready to get started because here we go. This is our Wheel of Fortune... *spins wheel*'  $1,000 is the top dollar value for Round 1. Be careful not to land on Bankrupt, that black space, because if you do, you lose your cash but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. This is our first puzzle:  It's a Title. Just before the show, we drew numbers to see who would start the game. And Frank, it's going to be you. Good luck! |
