Wheel Of Fortune - More than just a 'Final Spin(s)'

From 1989: It's near the end of the game and it's time for Pat to give the wheel a final spin. Easy, right? Not really as you'll see in this clip, but in the end, Pat's hard work pays off!

"BANKRUPT ... BANKRUPT ... BANKR -- Oh for f***'s sake, LAND ON MONEY ALREADY!"

*Lands on $5000*

Is it just me, or does Pat Sajak have all the intensity of a bowl of buttermilk?

Gotta love the shoulder pads!

@NYIslander12 They actually did that for Pat until about the mid 80s. There's a 1985 episode somewhere where he hits Bankrupt on the Final Spin, and the slide whistle sounds, but I don't remember it ever happening when GSN reran season 6 into the ground.

whoa. that lady is EX-CIT-ED.

It would be funnier if they played the bankrupt sound like they did when woolery hosted.

This also happens on the game for Wii, sometimes. But I lol at this. Pat tries to land on a value space and after all those bankrupts, low and behold $5000. That's crazy.

A solution for the final spin would be if the red arrow lands on bankrupt or lose a turn, then what the yellow arrow is pointing to will be the value of each consonant for the rest of the puzzle.

I think they rig the wheel to stop on bakrupts everytime it's his spin just as a running gag probably.

@bigman88zz Is that one horri-awful?

[denelson83]

How about if he lands on bankrupt, everytime you call a letter in the puzzle, you lose all your money?
