Well, for those of you wondering if there was a bonus round win to end the week of 4/19/93-4/23/93, I was lucky enough to find the Friday episode of that week (4/23/93) in my tapes, and here is the recap:
Contestants:
Susan Rosen, 1-day champ w/$10,500 from Belle Harbor, NY
Tripp Dunn, a law office employee from Los Angeles, CA
John Hardison, a general science student from Washington, DC
Round 1 category: CLUE

Prize added to wheel - A pair of 18-karat gold earclips from Van Cleef & Arpels worth $2,900 (marked "EARCLIPS" on the wheel).

THE T_ _ _N
SH_ _ _ _EET
? AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET - solved by Tripp for $3,700 and the earclips, for a total of $6,600. He had no idea what the blank was (and neither did John or Susan, so no one got the $500 bonus), however. The correct answer was "East Is East And West Is West."
