Airdate: November 6, 1997

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Celebrity Week!

Here are today's stars:
From Jade and Last Action Hero, and possibly the cover of Glamour's first redhead, Angie Everhart! (playing for Project 9865)
Director, novelist, and star of T.J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and Star Trek, William Shatner! (playing for AHEAD With Horses)
And "Heidi the tool time girl" from Home Improvement, Debbe Dunning! (playing for Pediatric AIDS Foundation)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, aspiring to shine like these stars. Some day...

Round 1

PHRASE

DEBBE	William	Angie
$600: Y Free Spin: T (x3) $350: R $300: H (x2) $300: G $300: S (DUD!)	$900: N (DUD!)	$400: M $450: V $600: D (DUD!)
$1,850		$850
$900: L $800: P $400: C (x2) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$4,350

For some reason, Debbe asks if she can use her Free Spin when she hits Lose A Turn.

Later, William jokes that he meant M instead of N.

PHRASE

Debbe solves YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

Debbe (FS)	William	Angie
$4,350

They've certainly come to the right place for big money! Let's step it up with the $2,500 space!

Round 2

SHOW BIZ

William already asks if he can buy a vowel.

Debbe (FS)	WILLIAM	Angie
	$550: "Show Biz? S" (x2) $300: H (DUD!)	$800: T (DUD!)
	$1,100
$2,500: C (x2) $900: K (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$2,500: M BANKRUPT/$10K! ($2,500)
$5,000	$1,100
$250: H (DUD!)	$700: P (DUD!)	$250: Y $250: L $900: R (DUD!)
$5,000	$1,100	$500
$450: G $400: D $800: F (DUD!)	$250: N (x3) -$250: E (x3) $250: B (DUD!)	$300: Q $500: J Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$5,850	$1,600	$1,300

No T? "Would you take a coffee?" as William asks.

When he hits Lose A Turn, Debbe offers her Free Spin, but she can't really do that.

SHOW BIZ

Angie solves MUSIC LEGEND QUINCY JONES.

Debbe (FS)	William?	Angie
$4,350		$1,300

Pat acknowledges that William Shatner has a difficult schedule, and somehow he has to leave during the commercial break. At least he enjoyed the time he could, and he will receive money for his charity like everyone else.

We will be bringing in another celebrity to fill in the yellow spot!

Dr. Eve Lambert from Port Charles, Julie Pinson! (playing for Marine Mammal Care Center San Pedro)

And now time is running out for us, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece. Angie begins.

Round 3

OCCUPATION

Angie: T (DUD!)
Debbe: P ($600)
Julie: R (x3) ($1,800)
Angie: B (DUD!)
Debbe: S (DUD!)
Julie: G ($2,400)
Angie: H (x2) ($1,200)
Debbe...

OCCUPATION

...just guesses PHOTOGRAPHER, which is incorrect.

Julie: P (Repeat)
Angie: C ($1,800)

OCCUPATION

Angie solves CHOREOGRAPHER.

Debbe (...)	Julie	Angie
$4,350		$3,100

All celebrities are guaranteed a minimum of $10,000 for their charities, even William Shatner's charity.

And yet, we can't be nice to the Free Spin in any way...

BONUS ROUND:

Debbe could win a little extra money for her charity! She thinks Wheel is easier than tool time. That might only be true if she solves one more puzzle...

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives her:

PLACE

She calls R third and N fourth. After that, IWCM may give her an important vowel.

PLACE

She's stuck on the first word. She does not solve SKI LODGE, so she will be receiving the $10,000 minimum for her charity.

Pat and Vanna thank the celebrities for appearing, even William Shatner who wasn't able to stick around.
