Bill has chosen to play for the Ford Fiesta. Since it's the most expensive prize, he will be attempting to solve the Difficult puzzle. Bill, here it is.  What's going to happen first is you get to pick four consonants and a vowel for us to reveal in the puzzle. Which would you like? |

Post by billmcdee on Jun 20, 2017 18:43:56 GMT -5
C, T, R, N and for a vowel, I

Okay, let's see what we get here out of those letters. *bong* *bong* *bong*  All right. Maybe that will help in some way. I'll also help you out by giving you the category. It's a Thing.  Audience, no help from you. Seven guesses at it, Bill. Good luck. |

*buzzer* Bill, I don't think you'll look at this quite the same way...  Yeah, that was tough. I thought you had a good combination of letters, particularly the vowel. You're still coming back tomorrow as you try to become an undefeated three-time champion. You've already won $10,625 in prizes. Hope you join us then. See you next time on Wheel of Fortune! Jim: Some of our departing contestants will receive a gift certificate to American Express. Protected money wherever you go. It makes the perfect business gift and it comes in more than thirty customizable designs. Don't leave home without it. The prices of the prizes were furnished to the contestants before the broadcast. Gift certificates do not include sales tax. Wheel of Fortune is a Merv Griffin production. Stay tuned for Knockout up next on most of these NBC stations. |

I put in a promo for the show that followed Wheel at that point in time. It's there to make the NBC years more authentic.
