Gatorman’s Wheel of Fortune: the TEST! (THE END)

[joeygatorman]

And here come the first two letters of the game!

(ding, ding!) (applause!)

$120, Frank. You may buy a vowel at a cost of $50 if you wish.

[grapebuy789]

I'll buy a vowel: E, please

[joeygatorman]

And you’ll get four of those!

(ding, ding, ding, ding!) (cheers!)

Frank, you’re down to $70.

[grapebuy789]

I'll spin. (15)

[joeygatorman]

120

[grapebuy789]

H, please

[joeygatorman]

There is an H!

(ding!) (cheers!)

$190.

[grapebuy789]

I'd like to buy a vowel: I

[joeygatorman]

And that is it for vowels. Two of them.

(ding, ding!) (applause!)

$140 left. Spin or solve.

[grapebuy789]

I'll spin. (13)

[joeygatorman]

220

[grapebuy789]

I'll take a C.

[joeygatorman]

And you'll get two Cs!

(ding, ding!) (applause!)

(harp crescendo!) (cheers!)

And that's a red letter! Some of the puzzles have them, Frank, and whenever you uncover one, it doubles your spin, so you've got $580. What now?

[grapebuy789]

I'll solve.

WHITE PICKET FENCE

[joeygatorman]

Yes, sir!

(solve cue; applause!)

Well, Frank, you made quick work of that one. Not only have you banked $580, you get a choice of one of the following prizes:

A pair of paddleboards…
a chair and ottoman…
or a camcorder.

Which would you like?

[grapebuy789]

I'll take the chair and ottoman.

[joeygatorman]

All right! Let’s hear from John, shall we?

Frank, renew your love of blue with the casually cool Bavello chair. Its textured indigo-hue upholstery is a welcome sighting in a sea of beige. Track arms enhance the clean, crisp aesthetic that simply works, from FurnitureMaxx:

$617!

(applause!)

And Frank, no matter what happens from here on out, that prize is yours to keep. When we come back, we’ll up the values…and we promise to make the puzzle a bit more tricky. Really. Come back and see what happens!

(cheers!)

[joeygatorman]

Welcome back! Take a look at this wheel; isn’t it gorgeous?



Gorgeous in that the values have gone up, especially up top: $1,500 for a lucky spin this round! Also note that we have a Surprise a few spaces away, which awaits the person who has that in his hands after he solves the puzzle. Song/Artist, that’s the category this round:

Note the appearance of “by” so you don’t weasel your way into some easy money, although there may still be a B and/or Y somewhere. Frank, it’s Round 2, so get to work!

[grapebuy789]

Let's go!

*spins* (20)

[joeygatorman]

Outta that Lose A Turn… ooh, this looks real good!

530

(cheers!)

[grapebuy789]

R, please

[joeygatorman]

Up and running with one R.

(ding!) (applause!)

Over the thousand mark.

[grapebuy789]

I'd like to buy a vowel: E

[joeygatorman]

Certainly we have some Es.

(ding, ding, ding!) (applause!)

[grapebuy789]

I'd like to buy another vowel: A

[joeygatorman]

one A.

(ding!) (applause!)

$1,010 left.

[grapebuy789]

I'll spin. (12)

[joeygatorman]

230

[grapebuy789]

Is there an N?

[joeygatorman]

Sorry, there’s no N.

(bee-wooooo!)

Antonio, you’re up!
