S13, EPISODE #2522: SALUTE TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Airdate: 5/28/96
Next contestants in line:
Mike Hussey: Oconomowoc, WI (found at the Milwaukee River Hilton). Landscape designer at a major midwestern landscape company who married 6 months ago. He also loves to golf and bike.
Dee Simms: Omaha, NE. Married with 2 kids who's trying to complete her degree in Gerontology (she's also working towards her nursing degree).
Wayne Speckman: Athens, GA (but born in Spain because his father was stationed there). PhD student in biochemistry who's married to Christine.
Wayne solves A MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA.
PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: MEADE TELESCOPE ($3,700)
Wayne IDs MAURY POVICH & CONNIE CHUNG.
If someone gets to the Bonus Round on Friday, they'll recieve a United Airlines vacation (Connoisseur class) to Australia - Sydney (site of the 2000 Olympic games), Melbourne (1956 Olympic) and the luxurious Hayman resort. It's worth a whopping $27,300.
Wayne could definitely afford himself a trip to THE ANDES MOUNTAINS with the money he's pocketed so far.

FINAL SCORES
BANKRUPT TRASH: $650
BONUS ROUND
LETTER PICKED: W
RSTLNE gives a couple to start:
HDPA just yields the vowel...
And no total sweep as SCABBARD is the only audible thing that comes out of this mouth. As I'm finishing up this SUMMARY of the episode, he loses the Paris Deluxe trip.
WAYNE'S FINAL TOTAL: $32,150 (all cash; actually eligible for Final)
Bonita Fitzgerald pays a visit in the end. She presents the hosts her gold medal (1984 Olympics; 100m hurdles). She's now running an Olympic training center in San Diego.
Full credit roll in the end.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Wayne put on quite a clinic this show, didn't he? The first half was a tad bit slow to my liking, so 7/10.
