Airdate: June 1, 1999

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to World Class Dining!

Dining in tonight:
Vickie Slaton: Network administrator for an advertising firm by day, and bartender by night; from Winston-Salem, NC
Chris Kisaburou: Works for an electric power company, from Bridgeport, CT
Yolanda Jackson: Career placement specialist in Pittsburgh, from Upper St. Clair, PA (born in Puerto Rico)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. You'd love to get a taste of that Big Money any time of day, wouldn't you think?

Yolanda solves ATTIC. With possibly the shortest puzzle you'll ever see, that $3,000 Puzzler becomes more important!

It's time again to dig through our endless bin of prizes! This time, we add an IKEA home furnishings shopping spree (labeled SHOPPING) worth $2,500.

Don't let any cobwebs get on our $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces. They need to shine!

WHO IS IT?

Vickie solves STAR TREK CAPTAIN & T.J. HOOKER SERGEANT. Can she tell us who it is for a $2,000 Bonus?

Unsure about it, she says Jean Picard. Well, it is Star Trek. She does follow with William Shatner, but it's too late as she already guessed once.

Vickie	Chris	Yolanda
$1,900		$600

No second thoughts about this prize! We bring in a vacation at Lazy K Bar Ranch in Tucson (labeled DUDE RANCH) worth $3,758!

Still really hungry for some Big Money, the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces become even more important!

Pat mentions that William Shatner (since he was the bonus answer for an earlier puzzle) does the commercials for priceline.com, which is plugged before Round 4.

Now, here's a really good idea! We'll bring out the $5,000 space, and that will take you even higher!

BONUS ROUND:

Despite that round, Chris is still in Bonus Land! He could win one of...

Trip to France with gourmet stops (over $20,000)

Trip to Italy with great Italian food (almost $16,000)

Suzuki car plus barbecue package (over $20,000)

New York/Times Square dining (over $15,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)

Literally "icing on the cake"? I don't know about that, but Chris picks the middle E and must swallow this puzzle:

He starts with BENCH, but he does not solve BEACH BAG...

...and he can't bag the $25,000 (or 52 cents upside down, as Pat insists). Chris leaves with $5,050 cash and gift certificate.

Vanna shares a photo of her husband and kids during the post-game. They look really happy in that photo!

It looks like we have another directory conflict, but this will be more difficult since it's with a game that I wasn't the one to recap.

According to the compendium's puzzles, the one currently labelled at 6/1/99 is actually 5/25/99.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

Hey, MarioGS, weren't you in the audience for this one?

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.
