Can you believe it?! We're already on our 5th episode of this second run of Wheel of Fortune 1975/1976! There are no changes to report for this episode (those will probably start happening during the next week of episodes/games). Also, it looks like the poll on the other episode will end in a two-way tie between just having Susan Stafford as our hostess and having Vanna and Susan switch every week. So, what I'm deciding to do, if the poll does in fact end in a tie, is have Vanna and Susan switch every week. (This could change sometime down the road but for now, I think this is the best option.) Anyway, we don't need to worry about that at this moment. What we do need to worry about though is getting our new champion, Bill McDee checked in and also finding two new challengers for him! (Kevin and George, please wait at least 24 hours before signing up again, just to give others a chance to get in on the game  ) |

And now, here's your host, Michael Koontz!*cheers and applause as I walk up to the host spot of the wheel* Me: Thanks Jim! Good morning everybody and welcome to this Friday episode of Wheel of Fortune! And now, I'd like to introduce you to our hostess, Vanna White. *the 70's hostess entrance cue plays as Vanna enters to my left with cheers and applause from the audience* Vanna: Thank you Michael, good morning! Let me introduce everyone to our contestants for today. This is Nels Snesrud from Golden Valley, Minnesota. This is our returning champion, Bill McDee from Pennsylvania. And this is David Barkow from Virginia. *more cheers and applause as Vanna exits and heads towards the puzzleboard* Me: Thank you Vanna! [ ] | [ ] | [ ]

Me: Let's talk to our players for a few moments. Nels, welcome to our show! On my card here, it says that you like to bowl and make bracelets. I have to ask, what's your best score? And how hard is it to make the bracelets that you do? |

Alright, thanks for that information! Nice to have you here and good luck to you, Nels. Our next player is Bill McDee, he's our returning champion with a one-day total of $5,100!
*cheers and applause*
It was kind of a seesaw battle between him and Kevin on the last show. Anyway, Bill, yesterday you mentioned enjoying older sitcoms and other programs. Do you happen to have any favorites that you could watch all the episodes of multiple times and still never get tired of?

Alright, well hopefully you can earn some nice prizes here today. Now we're going to get our game start by taking a look at our Wheel of Fortune... *spins the wheel*  The top dollar value on our wheel is $500! Look out for this black space Bankrupt. If you hit that, you'll lose your cash but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it'll be yours to keep. Our first round puzzle is coming up...

PersonIt's a PERSON. As always, Person does not always mean a Proper Name. With our rules out of the way, I will ask Nels to start us off, since random.org placed him in the first spot. Good luck everyone! |

Up to $475 now. That's enough to buy a vowel, those cost $250. You can also either guess the puzzle or spin. Those are the options you have, Nels.
