For those not familiar with how the game is played, here is a Youtube video of a full episode. It starts with a couple of toss-up rounds then moves to the spins. When a contestant lands on a prize value, they nominate a consonant. If the letter appears in the word, the square turns blue and the young lady touches the square to display the letter.

 

The contestant can nominate a vowel before they spin again and a price (I think $50) is deducted from their accumulated prize. Then they can spin again. If the consonant they select is not in the solution, the spin passes to the next contestant. If the spin lands on Loose a Turn, it passes to the next contestant. If it lands on Bankrupt, their accumulated prize is removed, along with any bonus prize wedges they may have gathered. After the bell sounds, the contestant with the highest total move on to the Bonus Round.

 

Here is the video. It runs for 27 minutes, but you can slide through including the commercials.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds6K-Xgv-Lo
