Airdate: November 11, 1997
From The Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre in Denver, it's America's game!
Today's contestants:
Amy Richardson: Account manager in advertising, from Broomfield
Jesse Milnes: Single father of four, works with an organization involved in Peruvian rainforest education; from Northglenn
Andrea Dines: Young Olympians' cheerleading and basketball coach, also has a cleaning business; from Denver (but hates snow)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. That'll at least lift your score a mile high, but we know you'll want more than just that. For now, here's our first puzzle:
Jesse solves PANNING FOR GOLD. He's really excited about it!
Maybe we should follow up a big hug with some even bigger money. Will Jesse score with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces?
Jesse solves DOC BASHFUL & SNEEZY to keep the Vail trip. He won't have time for Pat to join him in the rainforest.
We're getting a little sleepy, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $700 a piece. Amy begins!
Amy: T (x2) ($1,400)
Jesse: R ($700)
Andrea: S ($700)
Amy: C (x3) ($3,500)
Jesse: I ($700)
Andrea: L ($1,400)
Andrea beats the buzzer and solves LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. Jesse says goodbye to the sweep.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
DCHI gives him a somewhat useful letter.

Pat comments about Jesse's last name and that he's also wearing a Winnie-the-Pooh tie, though it's a coincidence. It's a gift from his daughter.

Should we be scared? Jesse's the big winner, but how will he react to one more win?
Jesse picks the middle E from the envelopes, and he's facing this puzzle:

He guesses CRUSH, CRUNCH, BRUNCH, and BRANCH. He does not solve GRAPH. He doesn't want to see the envelope, so he turns his back...
...as Pat reveals the motorhome. Jesse reacts anyway, so maybe he has eyes in the back of his head? But he's still at $13,823 and might be back on Friday.
Pat and Vanna acknowledge that it's Veterans Day. He thanks those who serve the country, and he also says Wheel will be serving up some more shows this week.
