00:45Two, not two!
00:47$ale of Fortune!
00:52And in honor of the show, I'm wearing a dark blazer.
00:56I just felt festive tonight.
00:57Anyway, glad you all could be here for the occasion.
01:00Hi, Stephen.
01:01Stephen Murdock from Corona Del Mar
01:03here in Southern California.
01:04Tell us what you do down there.
01:06Down there, isn't it, of course?
01:07Down there, down there.
01:08I'm a district sales manager
01:09for the largest independently-owned payroll service
01:12in the state of California.
01:13Gotcha.
01:14What do you do when you're not plugging the company there?
01:18I like to travel, I like foreign languages,
01:20good food, good wine, sports.
01:22Okay, sounds, you like some good stuff.
01:24Nice to have you here, Stephen.
01:25Thank you.
01:26Here's, let's see.
01:27We have Chanel, help me out here, Tebow.
01:30Tebow.
01:31Yes, Chanel Tebow is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
01:34And you're going to school down there, right?
01:35Yes, sir.
01:36I'm a student at LSU,
01:38and I'm a double major, political science and history.
01:40Yeah, what do you hope to do with your life eventually?
01:42Possibly a career in political consulting,
01:44but I'm not really sure.
01:45All right, well, you have plenty of time to work on that.
01:47In the meantime, just enjoy the game here, okay?
01:49Thanks.
01:50You want to mention the sorority?

01:53I know, they'd be happy to hear that.
01:54Thanks, Chanel.
01:56Darrell's back. This is Darrell Buchanan.
01:58He is from Elgin, Illinois,
02:00and he's our reigning champion here.
02:01His total from yesterday, $21,474.
02:07I'd applaud that, too.
02:09Thank you.
02:10So, you feeling good on your second day here?
02:13I'm feeling great today.
02:14We still have three great bonus prizes left.
02:16I think the watches are there.
02:17We have the pair of automobiles,
02:19and we still have the cash.
02:20A little something to aim for as we go along.
02:22$1,000 is the top dollar value for our first round.
02:25We're playing for cash.
02:26And here's our first puzzle.
02:27The category is phrase.

11:30There you go.

12:29Okay.
12:34$1,500.
12:36R.
12:38There is no R. Daryl.
12:46$900.

12:50One D. Uh-huh.
12:52Uh-huh.
12:54Spin.
12:57$200.
12:59Y.
13:01Uh, yep. There is a Y. $1,100.
13:03Spin.
13:09That's what he was hoping for.
13:11Let's see.
13:13Uh, V.
13:15Yeah, there is a V. Pick that up and put it in front of you, Daryl.
13:17If you solve the puzzle without hitting a bankrupt,
13:19we'll find out what it is.
13:21Now, you have $1,100 and you have that surprise.
13:23You don't know what that's worth. What do you want to do?
13:25Let's solve it.
13:27Alright, go ahead.
13:29One-a-day vitamins.
13:31You got it. Uh-huh.
13:33We'll know soon what you did in terms of score.
13:35$1,100 in cash.
13:37But let's find out what we have here.
13:39And this could be a key.
13:41Well, Daryl, it's an island vacation in Florida.
13:43Indian River Plantation of Hutchinson Island.
13:45Florida's exclusive all-inclusive four-star,
13:47four-diamond oceanfront resort
13:49includes beaches,
13:51golf, tennis
13:54and boating
13:56from Indian River Plantation.
13:58$3,710.
14:00And that means you've taken the lead
14:02by about $710.
14:04Not by about, by exactly that amount.
14:06But, uh, we're gonna play another round.
14:08I'm sure we'll get no argument down here.
14:10And, uh, let's get to it. Here's the next puzzle.
14:12It's a phrase this time.
14:14Round five. Chanelle, you'll start.
14:16Alright.
14:18$250.
14:20S.
14:22$250.

14:26Yes, one S.
14:28I'll spin.
14:34$700.
14:36R.
14:38And there's one R.
14:42I'll buy an E.
14:44Do we have any E's? We have one. Uh-huh.
14:46And you have $700 left.
14:48I'll spin.
14:52Whoops. Sorry about that.
14:54Well, Daryl.
15:04$500.
15:06N.
15:08Yes, one N.
15:10I'll spin.
15:18$500.
15:20There's no T.
15:22And, uh, also not much time.
15:24Sound means time is running short.
15:26So, I'll give the wheel a final spin.
15:28I'll ask you to give me a letter.
15:30It's a puzzle of five seconds to solve it.
15:32Vowels worth nothing. Consonants worth not bad.
15:34$1,500 apiece.
15:36Now, phrase is the category.
15:38Stephen, it's your turn.
15:40A letter, please.

16:59We have some nice party gifts. Thanks for being with us.
17:01We will take a break, be back, and win a bonus round.
17:03It's our $2,000 show. We might as well.
17:05What a nice number I did, huh?
17:07It was great. Thanks.

17:25Yeah, some watches. We'll find out.
17:27Person, the category, R-S-T-L-N-E.
17:29And I want to remind you also
17:31that person does not always mean proper name.
17:33Now, Vanna will show you
17:35what kind of letter situation
17:37we have here.
17:39Okay. Now, we need three more consonants
17:41and one more vowel. And very quiet in the studio,
17:43please.
17:45C. One.
17:47D. Two.
17:51M.
