*old out of time bells*

That sound means that we're running short on time and are going into our speed-up round. I'll give the wheel a final spin...

*spins the wheel*

I'll ask you for a letter, no vowels though. If the letter you choose is in the puzzle, the dollar amount I land on will be added to your bank and then you'll have two chances to solve the puzzle. If you're wrong, your turn will pass to the next player... and every correct consonant will be worth...

$800

$800 each, not bad. Nels, it was your turn before the bells rang, so give us a consonant please.

*fade from commercial*

We definitely had a good first week here, gave away lots of nice prizes and good sized gift certificates, too. 

Vanna: We sure did. Do you think it'll happen again next week?

I hope so! Speaking of next week, there will be some changes occurring. One of them being that our wonderful hostess, Vanna White, will not be here next week...

*awws from the audience*

I know, I know. You'll meet our other hostess on "Monday", but don't worry, Vanna will be back the week after and they'll just keep alternating. Anyway, I've said enough and taken up enough time, so now I'll just say so long, have a great weekend and see you on "Monday."

Vanna: Bye-bye!

*the 1975 Big Wheels theme begins to play as a chroma-key shot of Vanna and myself appears in the center of the wheel, which is now starting to spin*

Jim: All contestants will receive the Wheel of Fortune box game to play at home...

*credits begin to roll over top of the spinning wheel*

Jim: The prices of the prizes were furnished to the contestants prior to the show and have been rounded off to the nearest dollar. Gift certificates do not include sales tax.
