Airdate: March 20, 1997
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Spring Break Week!
Today's contestants:
Pleshette Brown: Married, is a medical assistant, South Ogden, UT
Chad Pekron: Student at University of Nebraska, plans to go to law school (Originally from De Smet, SD)
Greg LaRoche: Investment banker, San Francisco, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Enjoy the greenery while you can. We'll start our first puzzle:
Greg solves WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT.
Sometimes, prizes can be obvious. Other times, not so much. Today, it's a Sharper Image Star Wars gift certificate (labeled LUCAS) worth $2,700.
But we knew that you knew the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces were coming!
Chad solves NEW YORK CITY MAYOR RUDOLPH GIULIANI.
They rise again. Here, it might be a good thing though, as they are the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces, only for this round:
Pleshette solves A CARAFE OF BURGUNDY WINE to keep the collectibles.
For winning, Pat and the staff offer her a free Darth Vader helmet. She wants Pat to wear it, and he offers it to Chad. They decide just to show the helmets instead.
Enough about the dark side. Look on the bright side of life with the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
How evil we are. Pat now gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$600 a piece.
Chad: R ($10,350)
Greg: D (DUD!)
Pleshette: N (x2) ($1,200)
Pleshette gets SHARON STONE...but can't figure out the last word.
Chad: H ($10,950)
Chad completes SHARON STONE AGE!
BONUS ROUND:
Pleshette and Chad are coming back no matter what, but only Chad is in Bonus Land tonight to try for...
Trip to Maui with Elvis Jukebox (over $17,000)
Trip to Mexico with Jeep Wrangler (over $21,000)
Trip to Arizona with convertible (over $30,000)
Trip to Disney World with Regal sportboat (over $33,000)
Where is he going? Towards the W, which leads him to this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
His choices are BCDA:
He does not solve WIND-UP TOY...
...and won't get the Maui/jukebox combo. He's got $21,150 and is coming back tomorrow, though.
