Found this on Internet Archive. The Tuesday show is a partial episode (first two rounds only). I vaguely remember watching this when it originally aired (I was six at the time.). archive.org/details/wheel-of-fortune-february-6-10-1995-my-favorite-teacher-week-walt-disney-worldThe gameplay seems to take much longer for this week than the previous My Favorite Teacher Weeks in seasons 10 and 11. The first episode in particular is VERY dragged out and it's obvious Pat wasn't really enjoying himself.
I have a feeling that this due to the contestants in this set of shows being noticeably younger (mostly 11-13 years old) than previous weeks which seemed to mostly focus on high school students. Since this was the last My Favorite Teacher Week the show ever did, perhaps this was why. Although I still don't get why they never did Teen Week after Season 13 though. |

Although I still don't get why they never did Teen Week after Season 13 though. Probably the same reason as the one mentioned on why "My Favorite Teacher" week was discontinued (although we still had Teen Best Friends week until 2017). Teenagers still don't have their brains fully developed, which could lead to some faulty gameplay. I still remember an eppy from early 2008 where a team solved the Speed-Up SHOPPING SPREE without calling a consonant (and Pat spun $5K as well, but they still won). |

Good point, but there's a noticeable difference between 11 and 12-year-old contestants and Teen Week contestants who seemed to be around 15 or 16 on average. I also think it was very wise of them to avoid Megaword this week. |

I have to strongly disagree about brains not being fully developed by the teen years. You can figure out the game years before that, and even some adult contestants have had trouble with the game. Once the Friedman came along, it just had to be cause he wanted to take the show in a different direction.
