Airdate: June 2, 1998

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! It's Summer In The City!

Enjoying the sun today:
Jeff Solomon: 2nd year law student at USC, and also a business student (and probably the only L.A. resident without a car, but might want one), from Hermosa Beach, CA
Jeff Smookler: Works for a major ATM networking company, from Brooklyn, NY

Carol Kinimaka: Assistant service manager for an electronics company, from Lihue, HI

Pat mentions that even if Carol ends up with only the nice parting gifts, at least she's still returning to Hawaii, and he's jealous about that.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. No matter how far you traveled to get here, you'll certainly enjoy this extra cash.

Round 1

PROPER NAME

JEFF	Jeff	Carol
$400: S -$250: E (x3) $300: D (DUD!)	$250: R $500: L -$250: A $300: C (DUD!)	$250: G (x3) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$150	$500	$750

PROPER NAME

Carol solves GEORGE SEGAL. She pronounces the last name more like "seagull", and it is accepted.

Jeff	Jeff	Carol
		$750

A fun summer calls for a fun prize: We have a Camp Target Coleman camping equipment package (labeled CAMPING) worth $2,492.

Carol is already taking some cash back to Hawaii, but why not more? We bring out the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces for this round.

Round 2

NEXT LINE PLEASE

Jeff	JEFF	Carol
	("Null" cycle?) $400: L -$250: E (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)
	$150
$600: G (DUD!)	$10,000!: D (x3) $550: C (x5) -$250: O (x6) -$250: U (x4) $400: W (x4) $900: H (x4) Solve: Correct!
	$7,600+

NEXT LINE PLEASE

"Yellow" Jeff solves HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK for a huge payoff! Let's sprinkle an extra $2,000 on top if he knows the next line...

...and he does! It's "if a woodchuck could chuck wood?".

Jeff	Jeff	Carol
	$19,600	$750

That was a very odd puzzle, but a very good round! Let's at least have another good round with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces.

Round 3

PHRASE

Jeff	Jeff	CAROL
		$600: T (x2) $250: N (x2) -$250: O (x3) $400: D $900: L (x2) -$250: I $900: C (DUD!)
		$3,400
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$400: S (x2) -$250: E (x4) $300: P $500: Y $250: R CAMPING: V Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	$1,600+

PHRASE

"Yellow" Jeff solves DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP OVER IT to keep the camping package.

Jeff	Jeff	Carol
	$23,692	$750

Yellow has a huge lead, but the $5,000 space could still change that...

Round 4

BEFORE & AFTER

JEFF	Jeff	Carol
$500: N (DUD!)	$350: T -$250: E (x2) $300: R -$250: A (x2) $5,000: L (x4!) -$250: O $500: M -$250: I -$250: U Solve: Correct!
	$19,900

BEFORE & AFTER

"Yellow" Jeff solves BUFFALO BILL ME LATER for another huge payoff! Let's stop now before he gets too crazy.

He actually grabbed Pat by the hair and kissed him on the side of the head! Pat actually didn't mind that!

Jeff	Jeff	Carol
	$43,592	$750

Yellow was just too strong. The other Jeff must learn from Pat that cars are overrated, but he also settles with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

This Jeff has easily won his way to Bonus Land, where he could win one of...

San Francisco adventure and Chrysler Sebring convertible (over $32,000)

1-week "Big Apple" vacation and 1998 Infiniti luxury sedan (over $35,000)

"Windy City" vacation and Jeep Cherokee (over $25,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)

Regardless, Jeff's likely returning on Friday. For now, he picks the W and looks at this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives him:

PLACE

CDMA could be helpful...

PLACE

Before the timer starts, he solves CAIRO, and he picks up Pat and spins around with him!

Jeff has just won the Chicago & Jeep package, a stay at Doubletree Guest Suites and Jeep Cherokee 2WD 4-door sport totaling $25,475! With $69,067 in winnings, he'd better be coming back on Friday.

Pat mentions to Vanna that he's starting to feel like a Beanie Baby, and he mentions you don't win extra money for picking up the host.
