Airdate: October 6, 1998
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to British Isles Week!
Today's contestants:
Kelly Graddy-Powell: Communications director at Lehigh County United Way, from Fort Myers, FL
Doug Kimmy: Foreman for a plumbing company, from Fort Worth, TX
Calvin White: Chief administration manager for the U.S. Navy, responsible for data processing and admin correspondence among tasks; from San Diego, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are still playing for cash, so Pat had better keep his shirt on!
Perfection! Kelly solves WHEEL OF FORTUNE GOES NIGHTTIME. Pat insists that'll never work.
Here's something that might work! She can score some extra cash with a $3,000 Puzzler!
She instantly solves BIG MONEY. Pat "remembers" when he was 12 and a half years old at the nighttime debut.
Kelly solves ? GENEVA ? MICHIGAN ? TAHOE. After some trouble, she can earn a $2,000 bonus by filling in the blank.
She successfully fills in Lake.
Calvin solves ACTRESS JENNIFER LOPEZ to keep the trip.
As our more important nighttime tradition, we have a $5,000 space on the Wheel!
Kelly solves EFFICIENCY EXPERT.
DING DING! DING DING!
But we could've been more efficient. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $300 a piece. Doug begins.
Doug: R (x2) ($600)
Calvin: C ($300) (He almost called R before that but caught himself in time.)
Kelly: T (x2) ($600)
Doug: S (x2) ($1,200)
Calvin: M (DUD!)
Kelly: D ($900)
Kelly solves DESSERT CART.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
MPDA does a little better.

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
Vanna almost forgets to touch the right monitor.
She starts by guessing I'M BOOKED UP, and that turns out to be correct!
Her guess scores her a English countryside equestrian vacation for four to Devon and country inn stay worth $15,176! Kelly leaves with $29,526 in cash and prizes!
In the post game, Vanna says that she's losing her eyesight. Maybe she needs shorter puzzles from now on, or maybe she'll get glasses?
