LAS VEGAS
AIR DATE: 2/13/98
It's the Friday Finals (and also the last day at the Las Vegas Hilton, which is now Westgate Las Vegas), so the top three players this week came back to play once more...
Albany Colvin: Las Vegas, NV. Won $12,400 on Wednesday (not too sure about the day, but she did mention two days ago). She's the first Albany the show had and her mom just dreamt about the name (so it's not a tradition).
David Retta: San Antonio, TX. Won $37,900 (incl. Ford Mustang).
Courtney Bettigen: Won $20,000 at the tail-end of her first game. Univ. of Nevada-Reno student.
SURPRISE: Yes
Round 1: Title
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Albany: Free SPIN (T), LOSE A TURN! (keeps FS)
David: $250 near $1,000 (D)
Courtney: $400 (2 R's), $900 (N), SURPRISE (S), $450 (M), O ($1,900 + SURPRISE at risk)
Albany: $350 (W), $1,000 (2 L's), Solve Attempt ($2,350)...
W _ _ N / _ _ R R _

Albany IDs "WHEN HARRY MET SALLY".
Duds: D (David), O (Courtney)
Lose a Turn: Albany
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Albany: $2,350 + FS
David: Spinning Next
Courtney: Lost a Surprise
Could've said the H's and Y's, but I think she's just excited to get another puzzle on her belt. Also, Pat commented "You make noises, I would have to back in a doorknob to make" - LOL.
1st Prize Added to Wheel: Kawasaki 750 SXI JET SKI worth $6,194

He was definitely thinking OF.
Courtney: $250 (3 N's), $500 (2 C's), LOSE A TURN! ($1,750 at risk)
Albany: $250 near LaT (P), $450 (2 D's), $2,500 (2 K's), Solve Attempt ($6,150)...

Albany again with her noise as she solves THIS LANDMARK IS PICTURED ON THE NICKEL. And in a rather unusual move, Pat makes this a multiple-choice question.
Dud: F (David)
Lose a Turn: Courtney
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Albany: $10,500 + FS
David: Lost out on a lot of dough.
Courtney: Spinning Next
And going to commercial, both Albany and Pat jump for joy. We also see Vanna at the now defunct Space Quest Casino.

Pat realized that he pronounced Monticello with a CH sound instead of a C, but either pronunciation is acceptable. Also, despite the fact that SURPRISE was used, a second prize is added to the wheel.
2nd Prize Added to Wheel: Limited edition Elvis Wurlitzer Jukebox worth a whopping $11,750

I was afraid that would happen.

David prevents a clean sweep (and the before does not refer to the Lady Gaga hit).
Duds: N (Courtney), D (Albany)
Pre-Round 4 Scores:
Albany: $10,500
David: $1,800
Courtney: Shutout Alert

The game ran a bit too long, so Pat will spin for $250 consonants (not quite to $5,000).
Speedup: Phrase

Albany may think "I'M IN HEAVEN" while being on this show, but that's not even close.

Albany literally says "I'M SO EXCITED" because she's won another $500 and the game with that impressive solve.
Duds: N (David), R (Courtney)

Final Scores:
Albany: $11,000 ($23,400 so far)
David: $1,800 ($39,700 2-day)
Courtney: Out With $20,000
Maingame Total: $12,800
NO BANKRUPTS!

Albany gets the DAILY DOUBLE before the timer starts and after screaming for joy, Pat gives her the envelope and she waves it around so much that we don't see what's inside! Anyway, we learn that she's won the Corvette (1998 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, 345 HP LS1 engine, advanced traction control) worth $40,349, giving her a final 2-day total of $63,749 cash & sportscar! While Albany takes husband Michael and mom Monita, Pat's ears have died due to all of the screaming.
Bonus!
Closing Chat: First, we see Mystere Cirque du Soleil. Then, they talk about Albany's big win (and Pat jokes that they could have little baby Corvettes). Finally, Pat & Vanna thank the venue and Channel 3 for helping out with this remote.
Personal Rating: 8
