Airdate: October 22, 1997
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Broadway Week!
The lights shine on these three:
Ruchika Dutta: Student in microbiology, from San Diego, CA
James Tucker: Office support associate with a major auto manufacturer, also majored some martial arts; from Columbus, OH
Colleen Wallace: Pharmaceutical representative, from Bakersfield, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. The lights shine, so try not to stare directly at the sparkles this time. Now, let's "stark" the game!
Colleen solves WELCOMING COMMITTEE and opens up to this prize...a trip to Spain and stay at Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque worth $4,965.
Perfection! James solves JOSEPHINE THE PLUMBER & MADGE THE MANICURIST.
And there's that chime! I don't know if James needs it, but we have a $2,000 bonus if he can answer the following:
Yeah, James thinks he's the star of the show, but someone else could steal the spotlight! We've prepared the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces for some more fun...
James solves PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICE. One more martial arts lesson...and he might have clicked over to the Jackpot!
They can't keep the stage forever! Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, consonants are worth... $600 a piece. Ruchika starts.
Ruchika: R (x2) ($1,200) (The ding sounds on both R's.)
James: T ($600)
Colleen: Y ($600)
Colleen quickly solves I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:

We can certainly welcome another good prize! It's a DKNY shopping spree (labeled NY FASHION) worth $2,500.
While we love the $10,000 prize, we're not so happy about that little extra danger it can sometimes bring...

And there's that chime! I don't know if James needs it, but we have a $2,000 bonus if he can answer the following:
Both of them represented some products in commercials. What is one of the two products they are selling?
He is correct with Palmolive dishwashing soap. (The other product of Comet cleanser is oddly not mentioned until later on.)

Yeah, James thinks he's the star of the show, but someone else could steal the spotlight! We've prepared the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces for some more fun...

Ruchika was just left in the darkness, like no one knew she was there. She will be leaving with some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Wait. James won? He's in Bonus Land? Well, let's play for one more prize...a New York trip, a piano, a Lexus, or a home theater.
James picks the middle E for "easy". Is the other one "expert" difficulty? And what will this puzzle be like?

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
(Vanna almost touches the blank between the H and G.)
Not easy enough. He says HUGS THE, but he does not solve HUGS THE ROAD...
...so goodbye, home theater. James finishes with $18,800 in cash and prizes, but he could get more if he's back on Friday.
In the post-game, Pat notes that Josephine the Plumber is played by Jane Withers, and Madge the Manicurist is played by Jan Miner. Not much more to say.
