Airdate: November 14, 1995

From the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, it's America's game! Welcome to College Week!

Today's contestants:
Chris Manning: Senior at UCLA (and last time he was in Seattle, his basketball team won the National Championship)
Andrea Hardiman: Junior at University of Washington Tacoma, soon to be the student body president for the campus

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:





Perfection! Chris solves MICROSOFT FOUNDER BILL GATES and keeps the Surprise...which we reveal to be a tour of New Mexico including bicycling and white rafting, a prize worth $4,947!

Marianne solves PLEASE HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE TILL THE END.

---

Andrea solves CORDUROY JACKET to keep the British holiday.

This is getting really competitive. Pat insists we go to the ATM machine before adding a $5,000 space to the Wheel...




DING DING! DING DING!
