Airdate: October 10, 1997

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We end Beverly Hills Week...

Today's finalists:
John Hairer (returning with a total of $25,335)
Mary Johnson (returning with a total of $40,045)
Rich Chicone (returning with a total of $23,000)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Everyone's rich (especially Rich himself), but we could add a little more to those totals.

Round 1 (Prize Puzzle)

EVENT

Rich solves DEEP-SEA DIVING IN HAWAII for a trip to Hawaii's big island worth $6,082.

John	Mary	Rich
		$7,082

Our next prize is only for the one who can spin it. It's a "Beverly Hills makeover": Epicuren skin-care and Liola fashions (labeled BEVERLY HILLS) worth $5,000.

But what's it going to be like without a little more money? The $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces can address that.

Rich says CHERRY YOPLAIT YOGURT...which is correct!

John	Mary	Rich
		$10,582

Maybe a "cherry" color? Either space could be that. $3,500 is ready again, and the Jackpot starts at $10,000! Pat says it's been a while since a win.

Round 5

PLACE

DING DING! DING DING!

We're not going to have much time for it. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $250 a piece.

Mary: T ($250)
Rich: X (DUD!)
John: L (x2) ($500)
Mary: R ($500)
Rich: E (x2) (He "guesses" MR. BELVEDERE'S PLACE and USC LAW CENTER.)
John: N (x2) ($1,000)

Yes, Rich started with an X.

PLACE

John solves WILMINGTON DELAWARE.

John	Mary	Rich
$17,850		$10,582

Mary leaves with the $40,045 she already won. Rich leaves with $33,582 (by means of security, as Pat jokes).

BONUS ROUND:

John did it once, and he can do it again. He's up to $43,185 so far. We still have the Infiniti Silver, Shopping Spree, and $25,000.

He's picking the L, and he's going to solve this puzzle!

He guesses DIVOTS and DEBITS, but he does not solve DIGITS...

...and he can't add the Infiniti Silver. John still leaves with $43,185 in cash and prizes!

During the post-game, Pat says that Wheel shows are taped in advance, so they take a guess of who's going to win the baseball playoffs. Vanna thinks the Cubs will win.

She solved a buzzer beater in the BR on that one. On this one she unfortunately won nothing

At least she still leaves with something, which is more than can be said about some contestants who appear on the show.
