Airdate: December 12, 1996
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Beverly Hills Week!
With better than front-row seats:
Lea Morano: 3rd-year college student in business, also part of an agency that books extras for TV programs; from Toronto, ON
Joe Mills: Paralegal in Beverly Hills, from Los Angeles, CA
Greg Douglas: In pharmaceutical sales, also just built a new home; from Provo, UT
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. You might be tempted to sing about it, but focus, as you'll need to solve to keep that money. Let's get to it!
Greg solves SUN VALLEY IDAHO.
Joe solves I'M SO GLAD WE HAD THIS TIME TOGETHER.
JACKPOT! Lea solves UNEXPECTED GUEST BATHROOM and wins the $8,550 pot!
Let's make sure that the $5,000 space doesn't completely slip off the Wheel. That would be embarrassing.
DING DING! DING DING!
We can only play for so long. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $250 a piece.
Greg: A (x2) ($1,100)
Lea: F ($250)
Lea solves FM RADIO ANNOUNCER for the house minimum.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:

The sun now shines on this prize: an AromaSpa steam capsule (labeled AROMATHERAPY) worth $2,500.
The $2,500 space is bright enough as it is. The one-third $10,000 space wishes it could shine even brighter...

We'd be happy to spend some time with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces. Can we set off more fireworks this week?
