I'm still not done yet with Wheel 2000.
Original Air Date: November 1, 1997
Here are today's contestants!
Dawnel is in the 6th grade. She enjoys dancing, reading, playing in softball, and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up.
Ebony is in the 6th grade. She enjoys basketball, baseball, soccer, and singing.
Patrick is in the 6th grade. He likes to read, play all types of sports, and is ready to play Wheel of Fortune!
Today's physical game is Call Waiting, and they also have the www.wheel2000.com wedge. However, beware of the LOSER, and especially THE CREATURE!
Dawnel gets to pick a category first, and she picks from: Above & Below, Every Body, and Just Stuff.
Round 1: Just Stuff
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Dawnel duds with a B on
.
Ebony gets
from an R, and gets to play today's game!
Call Waiting is played with five phones. Each one is a famous character talking about their lives, which is triggered by the phrase "Who's calling?" Each phone can ring up to 3 times. She has one minute to get up to three letters.
For purposes of this recap, the leftmost phone from my view as a viewer is Phone 1, and the rightmost Phone 5. Also, please don't take my words as 100% what is supposed to be said; the audio quality of the video isn't the best.
:58- Call from Phone 5
Phone 5:"I was born in Africa in (Fellow Cavern?) where my parents, Lord and Lady Greystroke were marooned by mute men. My parents died when I was just baby, and I'm raised by an ape named Kala (Phone rings at :46) In time, I become..."| Guesses Tarzan, is right| :43 left| Y recieved
Phone 1:"People say I'm a crafty old (weiser?), but I prefer to be solemn as someone who knows the value of a shilling. So when I was a little hard on my employees, like that dirty racket- always late and always worried about his little one..."| Hangs up as phone rings| :25 left (Answer was Ebenezer Scrooge?)
Phone 3:"Ey. Get that dog away from me. People are always asking me for something which makes sense. So I am great and powerful, but it gets tiring after a while of being head honcho- I mean, how much courage, brains, and heart can I give out in a day?|Hangs up as phone rings| :06 left (She guesses a king, but doesn't get it. Answer was the Wizard of Oz.)
Phone 4:"Lady..." BUZZ!
Ebony now has the choice to plug in the Y into the puzzle for 250 a piece, or spin again. She tries it out, but it duds out.
