As of today, I am officially DONE with school (for now)! To help pass the time during the summer, I will try to recap all of the nighttime episodes that have NOT been recapped on this site. Also, this is my first recap over here with teams, so this should be interesting…
BEST FRIENDS WEEK FROM DALLAS
AIR DATE: 5/16/01
The provided video includes a promo for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: Couples Edition”, which aired Tuesday-Friday. Friday’s episode is already recapped. Also, American Airlines is heavily sponsored this week.

Sonia & Kelley start off with 3 N’s on $300 (next to LOSE A TURN), 2 S’s on $600 (just missed Top Dollar), 3 E’s, 3 T’s on $500, but then the LOSE A TURN. Team UNT put up a $600 H (next to Top Dollar), 2 O’s, a G for AA.com, but then L for loss while on $450. Team TCU finish off the consonants with 2 $400 F’s (next to $600), an R on $300 (next to $900), and a D on $500.

Team UNT start this one off with a $300 S, but then the BANKRUPT near $900 takes that back. Team TCU light up 2 $900 R’s, 4 $550 T’s (The men’s strong spins accidentally moved the added BANKRUPT a peg counterclockwise.), 2 I’s, 3 $600 N’s (That same BANKRUPT is now in it’s normal spot - probably an edit there.), a D on $400 (next to $600), 2 A’s, but then W for whoops while on $900 to possibly leave $5,700 on the table (They thought one of the words was WAR, which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.).
Sonia & Kelley finish up the consonants with 2 $600 H’s (next to BANKRUPT) and a $700 G…

...and to them, the saying of IT GOES IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER doesn’t apply to their teamwork -- Kelley solves this one for another $1,900.

2nd Prize Added to Wheel: Trips to the Westin St. John Resort in the US Virgin Islands from Starwood Hotels and Resorts worth $10,000 (labeled AA VACATIONS)
Heh, that prize is worth the same as that much-harder-to-win gold wedge. Interesting…

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Team TCU light up 3 $300 S’s, 6 $400 R’s (next to $550), but then N for nada while on $300. Sonia & Kelley put up a singular D on $400 (next to $550), but then the normal BANKRUPT takes that back. The UNT girls pick up the FAO SCHWARZ wedge with 2 P’s, gets a $400 B (next to $550), but then hit LOSE A TURN (Melissa saw that coming.). The TCU men get the AA VACATIONS wedge with a Y, but then BOMB OUT thinking that the last consonant is a G to squander $13,300 cash & trips - seriously, guys?!
Sonia & Kelley then light up the last consonant of a $350 V…

Hoping to add much more to their lead, Sonia & Kelley pick a $500 S (almost got that BANKRUPT nearby), 2 $500 T’s, 2 E’s, a $300 R (next to LOSE A TURN), but then the Final Spin bells ring.

I thought Team TCU would get this, they ARE volleyball players. Also, there was a brief edit when Pat met with the winners again.
