October 24, 1997 recap

Airdate: October 24, 1997

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wrapping up Broadway Week shortly...

Today's finalists:
Millicent Robins (returning with a total of $34,859)
James Tucker (returning with a total of $18,800)
Chris Togood (returning with a total of $35,000)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Now, time for this encore!




Perfection! Millicent solves CRUISING THE CARIBBEAN...and she has earned a 7-night Costa Cruises Caribbean cruise on either the Costa Romantica or Costa Victoria, valued at $3,690!

---

And suddenly, Millicent is in trouble! James solves THE BEST TO YOU EACH MORNING, and he could also earn an extra $2,000 for matching the slogan.

He says Maxwell House Coffee, which is a fine guess ("YES!"), but it's incorrect. ("NO!") The slogan is actually for Kellogg's. Pat has to be careful how he phrases things.

---

Now let's see if Chris can have the best. He starts this round, and the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces are here, but it's also a $10,000 Friday!




JACKPOT! Millicent solves A CABIN TUCKED DEEP IN THE WOODS and takes back the lead with a $12,400 pot!

---

And that's most of our money and our time. Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $600 a piece. Millicent starts.


Millicent: R ($600) (The "ding" sounds on the R call.)
James: N (x4) ($2,400)
Chris: T (x2) ($1,200)
Millicent: L ($1,200)
James: S (x2) ($3,600)
Chris: D (DUD!)
Millicent: I ($1,200)
James: H (DUD!)
Chris: C (DUD!)
Millicent: A (x3) ($1,200)
James: K (DUD!)
Chris: G (DUD!)
Millicent: Y ($1,800)


Millicent guesses AN INSTANTANEOUS REALLY, probably what she was thinking afterwards. Really?

James: W (DUD!)
Chris: P ($1,800)



Only vowels left!

Millicent just solves and properly reads AN INSTANTANEOUS REPLY.


James leaves with $35,056, while Chris still has the $35,000 he won earlier.
