Airdate: February 1, 1999

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to the party...World Class Parties Week!

Today's contestants:
Marie Moss: 4th grade teacher, from Clover, SC
Carmen Ellington: Marketing coordinator for a mid-Atlantic petroleum product retailer, from Lanham, MD
Chuck Bogs: Branch manager for a large retail jewelry department, from Jacksonville, FL

Chuck also mentioned that he is formerly with a Navy night class, where he and others would make bets on the color of dress that Vanna would wear on the show. Tonight, it's blue.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, which will get this party started.

Round 1 (Puzzler Round)

THE 80's

MARIE	Carmen	Chuck
$300: T Free Spin: H -$250: E $700: S (x2) $300: R -$250: O (DUD!)	$300: M $800: F Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,750*	$1,100

A "null" cycle may have occurred somewhere in the first round, as Pat said "Again, I'll give you the option to use that Free Spin".

Additionally, the $250 was not deducted for one of the two vowels.

THE 80's

Carmen solves THE SMURFS. Can she get this $3,000 Puzzler?

Puzzler

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

And she instantly solves BLUE ELVES.

Marie (FS)	Carmen	Chuck
	$4,100

Someone could head out onto the blue waters on a yacht with the San Diego Yacht & Breakfast Company (labeled YACHTING) worth $3,100.

Blue seems to be the theme tonight, and the $2,500 space kinda fits. We bring out the one-third $10,000 space for our gold set!

Round 2

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Marie (FS)	CARMEN	Chuck
	$300: T (x2) $300: S $400: N (x2) -$250: I $300: M (DUD!)	$600: H $450: R (x3) -$250: E (x3) -$250: A (x4) $700: C (DUD!)
	$1,450	$1,450
$600: L (x2) $250: G $600: Q Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,050

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Marie solves THERE ARE # QUARTS IN A GALLON. She can fill in the number for an extra $2,000.

She is correct with 4. As a teacher, she ought to know.

Marie (FS)	Carmen	Chuck
$4,050	$4,100

There are plenty of prizes on this show, and this time we will offer a Sony stereo system (labeled STEREO) worth $3,550.

It's a close game so far, but Chuck can certainly take the lead with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces!

Round 3

SAME NAME

Marie (FS)	Carmen	CHUCK
		$900: S (x2) BANKRUPT! ($1,800)

YACHTING: T (x3) $250: R -$250: E (x2) $800: L (DUD!) (Free Spin used) BANKRUPT! ($3,100)	$250: N (x2) $700: M (DUD!)	$700: C (x3) $600: P (DUD!)

Still a chance for anyone to lead with the $5,000 space on the Wheel!

Round 4

$1,100+	$1,500
BANKRUPT! ($4,650)	-$250: O (x4) $250: L
	$1,500

(There was a cut at the beginning of the round, but the math indicates a $550 spin.)

THINGS

DING DING! DING DING!

Because of all the spinning, we've been playing a while. Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $350 a piece.

Carmen: K

THINGS

Carmen solves SOFT OATMEAL COOKIES.

Marie	Carmen	Chuck
$4,050	$9,300

The game wasn't soft on Chuck at all. He will be taking home some nice parting gifts.

In the post-game, Pat and Vanna mention that they need to get all their Groundhog Day cards ready. Vanna asks what a groundhog is, and Pat says it's vermin of some kind.
