Jay Thomas drew #1 so he is first up with $400 and a C, triple the C's and $1200 in the bank for them....
C _ _ _ _ _ _ C _
C _ _ _ _ _ _
Jay then decides to buy an A but unfortunately there are none in the puzzle, taking his score down to $950 then he says to Pat "See, you lead me into that" and Pat goes "I didn't say buy an A, Jay".
Liz Torres takes control of the wheel next and it's a good one: $1,000 and an L, but we can't give her any L's either.
Charlie Daniels takes his first spin with $200 and a P, but there are none of those in the puzzle either
Control of the wheel comes back over to Jay with $950 in the bank as Pat says to him "You can buy another vowel if you want or you can spin the wheel" to which Jay jokingly replies "I can buy a vowel now ?" as Pat replies back "Well, you have $950 so that's enough. I'm not leading you into this" and Jay asks "What are the vowels again ?". He buys an E, which there are two of in the puzzle....

He buys an O, double the O's and he score now sits at $1,250....

Another turn of the wheel with a FREE SPIN as he exclaims "a Free Spin I get ?" as Pat replies "If you successfully call a letter, you'll be able to pick up that free spin" and Jay replies "I can't have it til I call a letter probably". He calls for an S, two of them and now he can claim the FREE SPIN....
C O S _ E T _ C S
C O _ _ T E _
Jay actually sticks the FREE SPIN to his shirt and he exclaims "I know exactly what it is but I want more money" as Pat replies "Well, then spin the wheel". Jay cheers "I want more money" as he takes another turn of the wheel with $800 and an M, just the one M up there. With $2,050 sitting in front of him, he asks Pat can he solve the puzzle now, Pat says "Yeah, please" and Jay takes the first round with
C O S M E T I C S
C O U N T E R
and that $2,050 will be awarded to his charity as he cheers and jokes "Fantastic! And I get liposuction too" which brings laughter from the audience & his competitors.
Going into commercial, the camera pans over the blown-up photos on the stage, of all the celebrity participants of this week, as the camera moves up to Jay's photo

$1900 left on the scoreboard as Jay then says "It looks easier on TV for some reason" before he takes another turn of the wheel with $400 and a G, but there aren't any...
Liz, hoping to redeem herself, spins again and she still can't catch a break as this time around she hits the LOSE A TURN.
Charlie, also looking for redemption, takes the wheel with $600 (almost landing on the DOUBLE PLAY) and an R, just the one & $600 for it....

Charlie says "Spin one more time" and he does so with $700 and an H but sadly, there aren't any up there which brings groans from the studio audience.
Jay, with $1900 sitting in front of him, buys a U, which there are two of and his score now sits at $1650...

He goes for it with $250 and an M, there is just the one, $1850 in the bank and Jay says "Now, I know what it says" as Pat replies "Well, you can solve it if you want to bank that $1850, if you want to try to make more money, you can", then Jay asks "When you say "Solve it", just read all the lines ?", Pat replies "Just read what's up there, yeah". Jay goes two for two with
B U T T O N N O S E
C O R N C O B P I P E
E Y E S M A D E O U T
O F C O A L
banking that $1850 he accumulated and now he can win an extra $1,000 if he can guess the WHO IS IT? clue to which he guesses the Scarecrow from the "Wizard of Oz" which brings giggles and snickers from the studio audience as Jay shouts "Don't laugh at me !" as Pat says "They're laughing in sympathy with your answer" and Jay barks back "I'll come up and make you wear this for a while".
But of course, the answer is FROSTY THE SNOWMAN and then Jay says "I'm from the South, we didn't have a lot of snow".
Despite not winning the extra $1,000, Jay is sitting pretty with $3,900 for the first two rounds while Liz and Charlie have YET to score any money for their charities. Will one of them be able to come up from behind or will Jay throw them both to the wolves ?
Going to commercial, a clip of Liz Torres on "The John Larroquette Show" alongside John Larroquette himself is shown
Jay Thomas: $3,900 Liz Torres: $0 Charlie Daniels: $0
Top Dollar Value on the Wheel for R3: $5,000

Charlie begins this round with $500 and says "Well, C's been pretty lucky so far, how bout a C ?" to which Pat replies "Well, your luck has run out, Charlie" as the panel erupts with laughter and Charlie falls to his knees, there are no C's in the puzzle.
Jay, already with two wins under his belt, takes the wheel with $300 and an S but there are none of those either.
DING-DING-DING-DING
The bell sounds as time is running short and it's Pat's turn to take control of the wheel as the vowels are worth absolutely nothing and every consonant found will be worth:
$800
Liz: A, three of them & no money
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ' _
_ A _ _ _ _ A _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ A _
Charlie: T, three T's & $2400

Jay: W, two & $1600

(Jay stares at the puzzle while Liz gets excited as she makes frantic hand gestures)
Liz: H, two of them, $3200 and she takes the round with
I W O U L D N ' T
H A V E I T A N Y
O T H E R W A Y
and with that, she is awarded with the $3200 for her charity......BUT.....Pat announces that the house minimal for charity is $5,000 so that amount will be awarded to all three charities (as well as all celebrity participants of the week who score less than that for charity). But with $3,900 sitting in front of him, the Big Winner is Jay Thomas as Pat jokingly asks "How did this happen ?". He will play the Bonus Round for $25,000 coming up...
Going to commercial, a clip of Charlie Daniels performing his country song "The Devil Went to Georgia" at a concert is shown
BONUS ROUND
Jay will play for the $25,000 (as do all "Celebrity Week" winners of the main game)

as he says "Why didn't you give me THAT ONE ?!!" as Pat laughs and replies "We were hoping you'd solve it" and Jay replies back "I've only done a couple of films".
But despite not being able to cash in on the $25,000, Jay still walks away with the $5,000 minimal for his charity as do Liz & Charlie.
Total Winnings:
Jay Thomas: $5,000 (won $3,900 in main game, total bumped to the $5k minimal)
Liz Torres: $5,000 (won $3,200 in main game, total bumped to the $5k minimal)

***Again, it was THIS here episode was the one that aired on Monday, November 20th of 1995 as Pat & Vanna were introduced, the camera did NOT pan over the stage showing the blown-up photos of the "Celebrity Week" participants as it did on the other shows as the camera was place in center of the stage and Pat & Vanna walk out from behind Ed Anser's photo and before they introduced Jay, Liz & Charlie, Pat says "Starting Tonight". The Brian Austin Green/Shelley Fabares/Ed Anser episode is most likely to have aired the next day, Tueday, November 21st***
