I'm on "Wheel" (4of4)

Part 4 of 4 of my 2-day appearance on "Wheel of Fortune."

Tape date: 11 February 1994
Air date: 14 March 1994

RANDOM THOUGHTS RE: THIS CLIP

A bit anti-climactic, since I don't do any more winning. But, Deborah was a good player, so go ahead and watch her bonus round. I was offstage, signing for my prizes at the time, but I saw the monitor and was able to solve her bonus puzzle before she called her letters.

After the taping, a bunch of we contestants went out to Planet Hollywood to celebrate. We calculated that between the 7 of us, we'd won more than $250,000.

The State of California took 7% off the top. I sold the silver to my mom for half its value. I didn't need the airfare to New York, so they let me take two tickets to Florida instead. I took my sister, Lori, to see our grandparents. I repaid all the folks who sponsored my trip at 3:1, got completely out of debt, and bought my first computer!

Thanks, Merv!

I hope you enjoyed this series...

Vanna looks pregnant here.

She was.

$26,640. I'll be reposting a more complete version as soon as I figure out what happened. Stay tuned...

I hadn't noticed that the fourth puzzle was cut off, and Pat saying goodbye to me is also missing.

Weird, as I did NOT edit that out (at least not on purpose). I'll have to repost. Stay tuned...

I miss the "ding" sound when someone picks an envelope

[Kinravip]

I miss the check arriving in the mail. It's a running gag at my house:

While watching "Wheel" with my best friend, when I solve a puzzle with only 1 or 2 letters (or, worse, from just hearing the category and seeing the pattern of blanks), he'll always say, "You really oughta go on this show!"

Sigh. Would that I could go on again. The numbers are so much bigger now...

And..if this is 1993-1994 (Season 11), shouldn't the closing theme be the 1989-1992 theme?

[Kenny112478]

@jarvisbrodiea1 I think everyone just thought that but it looks to be just random; they played it whenever they wanted.

[AubreyMan62187]

I don't think this episode had a Speed-Up round, did it, Kinravip?

[samsticka]

That's what I thought.

Did Pat Sajak and Deborah look at the Bonus Round Prizes if so how much were they worth besides the Netherlands trip?

[gameshowguy2000]

And not only was it cool, it was the right thing to do, because of course, as you said in your NES WOF video, the final spin has to be worth some money. (Can't be worth a prize, Surprize, Double Play, Free Spin, Wild Card or Million Dollar Wedge; the $10K wedge is another story).
