GuyWithFace will spin the wheel first.
(wheel beeps)
Contestant nearest to a dollar without going over will be in the Showcase, and GuyWithFace, your first spin is going to be worth...Could it be a dollar again? Go on...GO ON...
5(audience groans)
OH!!! We've been having lots of close calls here tonight, especially at the wheel. I know for sure you'd like to spin again? Well, go for it.
(wheel beeps)
If you can get 95 cents, you'll have a dollar. There it goes. And I don't think it'll come back again, but you do have...
25...a quarter, for a total of 30 cents.
.30DING!Now it's RCPlanes59's turn to spin.
(wheel beeps)
Around and around it goes, and it's going to come to a stop on...
30...30 cents. Now that ties GuyWithFace, but Flerbert419 is still waiting his turn to spin. I believe you will spin again. Sure, why not?
(wheel beeps)
Now we're looking for 70 or less. 70 or less, and it looks like you are going to get...oh, not 80! Get off that 80!
80MRRRRRRRRP!You are over by a dime, and I'm sorry, but I hope you had fun tonight. Now Flerbert419 will spin.
(wheel beeps)
Flerbert419 is trying to beat 30 cents, and I believe he will, with 75 cents.
75And you don't want to spin anymore, do you? No, he says that's it. See you in the Showcase, Flerbert419.
