Airdate: January 8, 1998
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We continue to Wheel into 1998!
Today's contestants:
Noel Bankhead: Waiter (and a Hacky Sack player!), from Charlotte, NC
Shalonda Matthews: College student (enrolled just up the street from the studio...for a final semester, anyway), from Inglewood, CA
Brenda Basel: Works for a San Diego bank, from Fallbrook, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. That's big money, not a tiny bit of change like in Pat's pocket.
Perfection! Noel solves THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
Not to worry, as there's even more money here! The $3,500 and Jackpot spaces can help you, if you're lucky!
Noel solves JIM NABORS AS GOMER PYLE to keep the trip!
"Shazam!" A $5,000 space suddenly appears on the Wheel, and you are expected to hit it, or else...
Brenda solves LEATHER & BIBLE BELT.
DING DING! DING DING!
Can Pat match that? Time is short, and he gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece. Shalonda already has enough here to overtake Noel...
Shalonda: N (DUD!)
Brenda: T (DUD!)
Noel: R (DUD!)
Shalonda: L ($5,600)
Brenda: P (DUD!)
Noel: M ($600)
Noel quickly solves MOOSE LODGE to defend his lead and win! "Cool."
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:

Today's contestants:

Shalonda Matthews: College student (enrolled just up the street from the studio...for a final semester, anyway), from Inglewood, CA
Brenda Basel: Works for a San Diego bank, from Fallbrook, CA
Noel says he carries a lot of good luck charms on him, also saying you can never have too many charms, and he even has a Sylvester toy with him! Sufferin' succotash!
Pat proceeds to take out a few lucky things he carries...a quarter, some extra socks, a bottle of Head & Shoulders, and his name carved in wood (that last one is actually quite interesting).
Later on, Brenda says she has a good luck charm, a tiny angel pinned to her outfit. Pat has one more pocket to go.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. That's big money, not a tiny bit of change like in Pat's pocket.

Shalonda solves THEY'RE MAGICALLY DELICIOUS. Maybe she can taste that $2,000 bonus...
...but she's not quite there. She guesses M&M's instead of the correct answer Lucky Charms.
Of course, it's the contestant who didn't talk about good luck charms that misses the bonus.

He knows it's not DIALTONE, but he still cannot solve DIALOGUE...
...and he loses the Acura SLX. But again, Noel is at $7,640 and coming back tomorrow!
Looking at Vanna's dress during the post-game, Pat knows she is not going bowling tomorrow. Vanna thanks Nolan Miller for letting her wear the dress!
