Airdate: May 5, 1998
This trio is GO for launch:
Mike Norris: Sales manager at a major automobile dealership, from Friendswood
Cheryl Leonard: Engineer with a major electric utility company, a mother and foster mom at the same time, from Fresno
Melissa Elliott: Works with the legal department of a major oil company, also a pear grower, appropriately from Pearland
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, and even that little bit can get you further. We'll see how it goes!
Cheryl excitedly solves THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW.
Mike solves CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK SMOTHERED IN GRAVY.
Mike solves OH MY ACHING BACK-SEAT DRIVER. Hurts for such a round to end with just the house minimum.
I don't know about this. We're running out of time, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece.
Mike: R ($600)
Cheryl: T (DUD!)
Melissa: S (x2) ($1,200)
Mike: L ($1,200)
Cheryl: C (x2) ($1,200)
Cheryl quickly solves RODEO COWBOYS & CLOWNS. She doesn't know how she got it!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
From the George R. Brown Center in Houston, it's America's game!
Before we begin, Pat asks Vanna to do a little shake from the beginning of the taping. WWF believable, apparently.

A good start so far, though a single spin can change that. What will it be?
We have a Houston Galleria "Gold" shopping spree (labeled GALLERIA) worth $3,000...
...or it could be the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 space that lift you up! One, or possibly both!

A long way to go, and still a lot of spinning to do. Let's sneak in a colored NASA photograph from the Kenneth Rendell Gallery (labeled NASA) worth $3,750.
Someone's bound to hit the Jackpot or $3,500 space!

I'd give it to Melissa just for building up an interesting round. Still, she got stuck with just the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Well, with all five envelopes in play, let's just try it again. Maybe a truck, Corvette, boat, Tahoe, or $25,000 in cash!
Cheryl takes the middle E. Here comes the puzzle:

She solves GEMINIS...but it was WAY too close to the buzzer. Her guess will be double checked...
...
...
...and she just barely got it! For that, she just barely scored a Wellcraft 1860S boat worth $21,136! Cheryl finishes with $24,586, and she has a good chance of coming back on Friday!
During the post-chat, Vanna admits she's curious what it's really like in outer space.
