Airdate: September 26, 1996

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Jeremy Holdway: Bike mechanic in a bike shop, "And you put your feet where your...mouth is?", from Modesto, CA
Andy Ritter: High school teacher and coach, from Clallam Bay, WA
Tonya Carlyle: Student at Creighton University double majoring in management information systems and accounting, from Omaha, NE

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, and we're putting our money...where your mouth is? Maybe not quite like that. Let's begin!

Round 1

THINGS

JEREMY	Andy	Tonya
$600: R $250: S $900: T -$250: E (x2) $250: P (DUD!)	SURPRISE: L BANKRUPT! (Surprise lost)	$800: N (DUD!)

THINGS

Tonya solves FACIAL FEATURES.

Jeremy	Andy	Tonya
		$550

Now featuring this prize: A bike/boat exploration of Penobscot Bay in Maine with stays at small inns along the way (labeled MAINE) worth $4,815.

The Wheel looks good with that $2,500 space and $10,000 prize. Those little you-know-whats near the golden space? Not too great...

Round 2

THE 70's

Jeremy	ANDY	Tonya
	$400: R (x4) $500: S (x3) -$250: E (x5) BANKRUPT! ($2,850)	MAINE: Y (x3) $2,500: N (x3) -$250: O (x4) -$250: A (x3) $600: V (x3) -$250: U -$250: I BANKRUPT/$10K! ($13,115)

$700: L $700: M $700: H Solve: Correct!
$2,100

THE 70's

Jeremy solves LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY.

Jeremy	Andy	Tonya
$2,100		$550

Here, a simple apology won't work. We need to make up for a huge loss, and the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces might just be what we need!

Round 3

TITLE/AUTHOR

Jeremy	Andy	TONYA
		BANKRUPT! ($0)

Jackpot: G (x3) Solve: Correct!

TITLE/AUTHOR

JACKPOT! Jeremy solves GREEN EGGS AND HAM BY DR. SEUSS for the $5,000 pot!

For Jeremy's quick solve, apparently Pat is "not worthy".

Jeremy	Andy	Tonya
$7,100		$550

How about another quick $5,000? The silver space is ready, and we aren't limited to awarding it just once.

Round 4

BEFORE & AFTER

Pat asks if Jeremy wants to solve it.

JEREMY	Andy	Tonya
$600: R (x2) $600: S (x2) $600: L (x2) -$250: I -$250: O (x2) $600: P (DUD!)	$600: T (x2) $700: N (DUD!)	$600: M BANKRUPT! ($600)
$3,100	$1,200
$600: F -$250: A -$250: E (x2) $5,000: H Solve: Correct!
$8,200

BEFORE & AFTER

Jeremy solves SHOWER STALL FOR TIME. The one time we aren't slow...

Jeremy	Andy	Tonya
$15,300		$550

Somebody missed their chance to try and cash in, though. Andy will be leaving with some nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

With a quick solve and a good total, Jeremy is in Bonus Land! Why stop there? We have...

Convertible (over $25,000)

Jeep Cherokee ($36,000)

Precious gems package ($30,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)

He can try to predict what's in the envelopes, but really, he can only guess. What we don't need to guess is that he's already in the Friday Finals.

Anyway, Jeremy takes the middle E, and he has one more puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

HPBO won't exactly impress him.

THING

He guesses TOP TRUCK and TOP TRAMP, but with 2 seconds left ...he solves TOW TRUCK! Don't scare us like that!

Jeremy has won the 1996 Chrysler Sebring JXi convertible worth $25,655! He finishes with $40,955 in cash and car, and he's returning tomorrow!

In the post-game, Pat and Vanna talk about how nice they look each show. Too bad Vanna doesn't usually get to keep what she wears on the show.
