Airdate: September 16, 1999

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Great Getaways Week!

Today's contestants:
Angela Gregory: Child care provider, also enjoys going to movies, bowling, and watching Wheel; from Philadelphia, PA
Keith Hutchins: Correctional officer, likes catching "fish that don't bite"; from Yadkinville, NC
Tan Dobson (female): Substitute teacher and graduate student at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, from Shell Beach

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Let's grab some popcorn while we watch you aim for that sparkly wedge in this round...

Round 1 (Puzzler Round)

OCCUPATION

Tan solves AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC. Don't break down in front of this $3,000 Puzzler!

Puzzler

EVENT

But she did. She says DOLL SHAGGY and does not solve OIL CHANGE.

Angela	Keith	Tan (FS)
		$650

We're gonna need a pit stop, so let's listen to Charlie. We've added a Hobie pedal-driven kayak (labeled KAYAK) worth $2,590.

You could buy a really good automobile if the $2,500 space or $10,000 prize has ideas!

Round 2

CLUE

Angela	KEITH	Tan (FS)
	$800: S (x4) -$250: E -$250: A (x3) $450: T (x2) $600: R (x3) $2,500: H (x2) -$250: I (x2) $600: W (x2) $500: N (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$12,350

CLUE

Perfection! Keith solves KING ARTHUR'S SWORD WAS NAMED THIS. And he's hungry for more! We have a $2,000 bonus if he can answer the clue.

Well, he has no idea. He says Camelot instead of Excalibur. And a second sword is named "Sparky".

Angela	Keith	Tan (FS)
	$12,350	$650

In this studio, the prize is mightier than the sword. We have a second prize, and it's a holiday at Half Moon Gulf Islands & Beach Club Montego Bay (labeled JAMAICA) worth $6,144.

Keith can put that cash towards a good car, and Tan must hit the $3,500 or Jackpot spaces if she wants one of her own.

Round 3

KAYAK: L $3,500: N (x2) -$250: O Solve: Correct!
$6,750+

TITLE

Angela solves WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? to keep the kayak.

Angela	Keith	Tan
$9,340	$12,350	$650

We don't just think this. We know that the $5,000 space will float your boat! Or call it a kayak, or anything else that floats...

Round 4

ANGELA	Keith	Tan
$300: T (x2) $600: H -$250: E (x2) $400: S (DUD!)	$300: R (x2) -$250: I JAMAICA: V $350: N (DUD!)	$250: P $900: M $800: C Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!

Angela	Keith	Tan
$9,340	$12,350	$2,600

Pat does not take Keith's prize wedge after the round ends.

But Tan still wants more money, and we have time for another round. Will she get a turn?

Round 5

THING

Angela	KEITH	Tan
	$350: S (DUD!)	$250: T (DUD!)

At this point, Pat asks Keith to turn over his prize wedge.

DING DING! DING DING!

Let's not forget we're short of time, and Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin! Consonants are worth... $300 a piece.

Angela: M ($300)
Keith: N (DUD!)
Tan: L (DUD!)
Angela: H ($600)
Keith: R ($300) ("No idea.")
Tan: C (x2) ($600)
Angela: K (x2) ($1,200)

THING

Angela solves CHECK MARK.

Angela	Keith	Tan
$10,540	$12,350	$2,600

BONUS ROUND:

Contestant? Check. Bonus prizes? Check. Solving a puzzle? We're not quite there. We need that win, a car or boat with an extra trip, or it could be the $25,000!

Keith also wants that win, and he'll pick the H. He is being held by this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives him:

PHRASE

He lights up some good letters with DCMO.

PHRASE

It doesn't quite work. He precedes AND WORTHY with several words, but he does not solve BACK AND FORTH (saying BACK AND FRONT by mistake)...

...so the Vermont & Mustang prize goes back in the garage. Keith is going home with $12,350 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Vanna is excited that the duo will be in Orlando next week! The shows will be taped outdoors at Universal Studios in Florida. They'll be during the evenings with a nice backdrop.
