Airdate: November 18, 1997
From The Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre in Denver, it's America's game! Welcome to College Week!
Today's contestants:
Carla Albernaz: Senior at Colorado State University learning interior design, and she's quadrilingual (speaks Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and English) from Hollister, CA
James Cafferly: Sophomore at Regis University majoring in chemistry, plans to be a high school teacher; from Denver
Jason Albrecht: Junior at Colorado College majoring in Geology (and his shirt has a Wheel on the back); from Marietta, OH
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. It doesn't matter what language you speak. You're gonna love some Big Money!
James solves GEORGE CLOONEY.
Carla solves BECAUSE YOU'RE WORTH IT. She wants more, and she can score a $2,000 bonus if she knows whose slogan it is.
Her guess is a bit quiet, but it's incorrect. The slogan is from L'Oreal. Carla's getting the house minimum.
There's still a good chance for Jason to take the lead. He might hit the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces!
Carla solves SPENDING A SEMESTER ABROAD.
Even with that solve, we're a little slow. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Now for some Big Money!
Carla: N (x3!) ($15,000)
James: G (DUD!)
Jason: S (DUD!)
Carla: C ($20,000)
James: T (DUD!)
Jason: L ($5,000)
Jason says VACATIONLAND, MCDONALDLAND, and PARTYLAND.
Carla: D ($25,000)
Carla guesses FUNCTIONLAND.
James: F (DUD!)
Jason: R (DUD!)
Carla: M ($30,000)
Carla solves MUNCHKINLAND for a huge win!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMA gives her some important letters.

Maybe Jason could've worn the Wheel on the front, and then he would get more than just some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
During the break, Carla's so excited...that she thinks she's gonna throw up. Happily, she did not.
She already has a lot of money right now, but she could win another prize! It's time to look at...
Toyota 4Runner (over $32,000)
Volkswagen Jetta Trek with bike (over $18,000)
30-day European vacation (over $16,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)
Now to score more! Carla picks the L for ladybug, and here comes another puzzle:

In the post-game, Pat says that Carla's total is the most cash that the show has given to one person on one college show. It's not gonna be easy to top that.
