September 21, 1999 recap

Airdate: September 21, 1999

From Universal Studios Florida, it's America's game! Where is Pat's stunt double when he needs him?

Riding with us tonight:
Diane Wiseman: Innkeeper at a bed and breakfast, from Mount Dora
Tom Dillard: Photographer for a national school photography company, from Winter Springs
Mignon Conway: Junior at Rollins College majoring in English and minoring in education, hopes to teach someday; she also likes watching Wheel during her spare time; from Kissimmee

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, no stunt double required as we're just playing a little puzzle.




Diane solves PING-PONG GAME. She'll bounce around even more if she solves this $3,000 Puzzler!


And she scores a point with PADDLES. "What would be a ping-pong game without paddles?"

---

It's not really a stunt to try and hit the $2,500 space, but the one-third $10,000 space would be quite an achievement.




Mignon solves THE GULF STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

---

Perfection! Mignon solves STRAWBERRY MARGARITA. "We have lift off!"

---

And just as we have "lift off", Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece. Diane will start.


Diane: R ($300)
Tom: S (DUD!)
Mignon: T (x2) ($600)
Diane: N (x2) ($900)
Tom: C (DUD!)
Mignon: L (DUD!)
Diane: G (DUD!)
Tom: D (DUD!)
Mignon: H ($900)
Diane: M ($1,200)
Tom: W (DUD!)
Mignon: B ($1,200)
Diane: O (x4) ($1,200)


Diane solves INFORMATION BOOTH ...just after the buzzer.

Tom: F ($300)


Tom solves INFORMATION BOOTH quickly and for the house minimum.

Pat announces that the final scores are tentative, though Diane is still the big winner.
