Wheel of Fortune for 4/16/2014

During tonight's episode three contestants joined their brains with “Lady Luck” to try and pull out a win on America's Game Show. As usual, they started out the night with the first Toss-Up puzzle, worth $1000, and it was an On The Map category.

Amy Johnson, scored fairly early on with the correct answer of, The Caribbean Sea. Amy is a regional sales manager for an industrial lighting company out of Chicago. Kelley Healthann from Tuscon, Arizona is a married mother of two, who writes a local column in the local Tuscon newspaper. Last, but not least, is Richard Johnson, from Kingstown, Rhode Island; Richard is quite the character. As a licensed lay minister, singer-songwriter, and flower delivery man- he's an “all-in-one act for weddings and funerals.” He also just released his first album, and is looking forward to seeing it's success.

Kelley scored the second Toss Up in the Things category with, Brains And Brawn. After the Toss Up, Jim-the announcer- told the contestants about the Sandals trip that had been added to the wheel. A trip to a Sandals resort of the winner's choice, worth $6700 dollars.

Landing on a Bankrupt of her first wheel spin, Kelley passed the game to Richard. With a Before and After puzzle on the board, Richard gave the wheel a great spin. Richard was doing great, even buying up all the vowels; until the letter L snuck up and took him out. Amy then landed on a Lose a Turn piece to pass the game back to Kelley. After a few spins, and some money on her board; Kelley was able to solve the puzzle with, Chicken Stock Market.

The next spin puzzle, a Showbiz category, was started by Richard, with the big letter T. Losing his turn on the letter E, of which their weren't any; Richard passed the game to Amy, who was anxious to get started. Landing on the “always tricky,” Mystery game piece, Amy decided not to risk it, enjoyed the $3000 she won, and kept the mystery intact. Racking up over $5,000 on the puzzle, Amy was able to solve it with, Pop Music Star Bruno Mars.

The next puzzle, a Phrase, was also a prize puzzle-whoever solves the puzzle wins a prize, which is usually a very nice trip. Amy started spinning, and never stopped on this puzzle. She bought up all the vowels, along with the consonants she needed to solve the puzzle with, This Is Going To Make A Great Story. Along with the $3200 dollars she won on that round, she also won a fabulous trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The third Toss Up round, worth $3000 dollars wen to, Kelley who was a quick draw for the, In The Kitchen, puzzle. Kelley was then able to spin first on the next puzzle, a What Are You Doing, category. She was then promptly duped by a Bankrupt game piece. Richard was off to a great start, until he tried to buy an O. The letter R, knocked Amy out, as there were none. Kelley wasn't even warmed up yet, when she landed on a Lose A Turn piece. Richard then got bumped by the letter S. Amy was finally able to solve the tricky puzzle with, Meeting My Deadline.

The Final Spin bell gave it's ding, and Pat gave the wheel it's final spin. Consonants instantly became worth, $1500 dollars. The Fun and Games puzzle quickly went to Richard with, Touch Football. Going into the bonus round, Amy had already racked up $20,399 dollars, and hoped to add to her total.

Th Bonus round was a Things category, but the R, S, T, L, N, and E; along with the letter Amy chose, C, D, M, and A weren't much help with solving the Hours Of Operation puzzle. She missed out on a nice $30,000 dollars, but seemed okay with her original winnings.
