We unfortunately got SKUNKED on the first week from this season's remote to the Las Vegas Hilton. Let's see if this week will be any better...
S15, EPISODE #2841: LAS VEGAS
Airdate: 2/9/98
Kicking off the other Vegas week this season:
Debbie Jessen: Las Vegas (moved 4 years ago from Irwin, PA). 1st grade teacher working on her Master's in reading at UNLV.
Arnie Hamovitz: Pittsburgh, PA. Plumber by trade who's married to Corey and member of the Air Force Reserve.
Lauren Moore: Las Vegas (moved 1.5 years ago from Minnesota). A lady of Gernam, Cherokee, Indian, Egyptian and Chinese descent and model/actress who's married 10 years with 3 kids. Also enjoys singing and weightlifting.
Arnie rightly says LET'S MAKE A NIGHT OF IT.
DUD: D (Debbie)
PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Meade TELESCOPE ($4,995)
Category wipe is a newspaper.
PERFECTION! Arnie remembers ELWAY LEADS BRONCOS TO SUPER BOWL VICTORY.
Arnie wanted the other ladies to win something...such a good sport. Also, Lance Burton takes us to commercial.
The "Play to Win!" sweeps (next week) is plugged. Two people will win $1M and 1700+ people will win a $500 Sears GC. All you have to do is to solve the special sweeps puzzle and drop it off at you local Sears...
JACKPOT ROUND
THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR: Nordic Track
Arnie solves "VEGAS" STARRING ROBERT URICH.
DUD: L (Lauren)
BANKRUPT: Debbie
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $10,150
Yes, it's possible Arnie could have his sweep broken.
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $550
Arnie scores the maingame sweep by solving THE KING AND I LOVE LUCY.
DUDS AFTER BELL: S (Debbie), R (Arnie), W (Lauren), F (Debbie), M (Arnie), P (Lauren), B (Debbie)
DQs: 2 (Arnie and Lauren’s missolves)
FINAL SCORES
BANKRUPT TRASH: $5,750
BONUS ROUND
PRIZES
1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible ($26,000)
Regal Sport Sportboat ($26K+)
1998 Chevy Corvette Coupe ($40,349)
Lake Mead trip + Boat ($29K+)
$25,000 Cash
LETTER PICKED: L
RSTLNE gives Arnie a couple in the bottom:
He goes for CDMO...and Vanna's not moving a step.
BIG LEAP fits, but it's actually FIG LEAF. Therefore, no total complete sweep and no Corvette for him. At least Arnie's happy that he lost at least this round.
ARNIE'S FINAL TOTAL: $10,450 (all cash, ineligible for Friday Final)
I believe the SURPRISE Debbie lost out on was a trip to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: I loved how humble Arnie was about his winnings...and that the only think that stood out to me (aside from him sweeping the maingame). 6/10
