Airdate: November 5, 1997

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

Here are today's stars:
Stand-up comedian and award winner, Paula Poundstone! (playing for Westside Children's Center)
Rap legend and award winner, and star of In the House, LL Cool J! (playing for Camp Cool J for youth education and vocational skills)
And Zoey Woodbine from Cybill, here's Alicia Witt! (playing for Aviva Center for abused children)

Alicia was actually a former contestant! She appeared on Teen Week in 1990, and we get to see a flashback clip! Boy, she sounds different now, but Pat says he looks exactly the same.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Sure, Paula probably thinks it's just a measly thousand, but all that money adds up!

Round 1

PHRASE

ALICIA	LL Cool J	Paula
$250: T (x3) $350: N (x2) -$250: O (x2) $600: D -$250: I (x2) $250: H (x2) Solve: Wrong!
$2,050

As Alicia is playing, Paula (jokingly) suspects there was some coaching going on since Alicia's doing good so far.

PHRASE

Alicia guesses I DON'T HAVE A THING TO LOSE. "Oh sh... ...phooey!"

Alicia	LL Cool J	Paula

	$700: K (DUD!)	$550: V Solve: Correct!
$2,050		$550

After Paula's first spin, she asks to solve immediately, but Pat says to guess a letter first. After a rant, Paula tries to buy an A, but eventually she changes to V.

PHRASE

Paula solves I DON'T HAVE A THING TO WEAR. Pat has no idea who won.

Alicia	LL Cool J	Paula
		$550

We'll bring out the $2,500 space, and then we hope Paula will stop whining!

Round 2

PROPER NAME

Alicia	LL COOL J	Paula
	Lose A Turn!	$250: M (DUD!)

$500: N $400: G (x2) -$250: A -$250: E $900: R (DUD!)	$600: B (DUD!)	$250: W Lose A Turn!
$800		$250
$350: F (x2) $600: C (x2) Solve: Correct!
$2,700

After the incorrect M, Paula wonders if the puzzle is written in Chinese characters.

PROPER NAME

Alicia solves CHEF WOLFGANG PUCK. She says she actually made $2,700 in her whole Teen Week appearance.

Alicia	LL Cool J	Paula
$2,700		$550

We're cooking something really good! All we need is $3,500 and the Jackpot, and it will be perfect!

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

Alicia	LL Cool J	PAULA
		$550: T (x3) $500: S (x2) -$250: A (x2) -$250: E (x2) Jackpot: R (DUD!)
		$2,150

After Paula lands on the Jackpot, Pat was worried that it would get confusing...until she called a wrong letter.

BEFORE & AFTER

DING DING! DING DING!

Snack time! But first, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece.

Alicia: L ($800)

BEFORE & AFTER

Alicia solves SEAT BELT OUT A SONG.

Alicia	LL Cool J	Paula
$3,500		$550

LL Cool J and Paula will each receive the $10,000 minimum for their charities.

BONUS ROUND:

This shouldn't be much trouble! Alicia knows the show, so she has a good chance at $25,000 more for her charity!

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

CDHA is looking good!

THING

She instantly solves CURLY HAIR and finishes with $28,500 for her charity! Feels good to come back again!

Pat and Vanna thank all the celebrities for their time playing Wheel.
