Airdate: September 22, 1997
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We now begin Fun in the Sun Week!
Ready for some sunshine:
Megan McEwan: Works for a major discount store, from Fort Collins, CO
Adicia Nellems: Grade 1 teacher (and former Teacher of the Year), from Columbia, SC
Walter Carpenter: Accounting with a La Jolla research institute, from San Diego, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. It shines bright, but you can never have too much of it. Time to play!
Megan solves CHICAGO HOPE.
Walter solves I WANT A KINDER GENTLER NATION. We're kind enough to offer a $2,000 bonus if he knows who said it.
He is correct with George Bush.
The Wheel isn't always kind, but maybe the $3,500 and Jackpot space will take your mind off those moments...
Walter solves DRIVER'S & POETIC LICENSE. He was not even tempted by that Jackpot!
Megan says WINNING THE CY YOUNG AWARD ...but pronounces the third word with a K sound.
Adicia properly solves WINNING THE CY YOUNG AWARD with an S sound.
DING DING! DING DING!
Not quite Megan's chance at redemption. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.
Megan: R ($250)
Adicia: D (Repeat)
Walter: M ($500)
Megan: C ($500)
Adicia: F ($650)
Walter: A (x2) ($500)

He guesses HOWSER, HOWKER, and BIKER. He does not solve JOCKEY...
...and he can't run off with the Camaro convertible. Walter still finishes with $14,450 and may be back on Friday.
In the post-game, Vanna mentions that Fall has begun. Pat notices that Vanna's dress is changing colors already (it's been yellow for the whole show and doesn't actually change).
