From Hollywood, It's America's game! How 'bout we do another Teen Week?
Today's contestants:
Azie Nami: Freshman at Beverly Hills High School studying history and arts, also likes piano/guitar and skiing; from Los Angeles, CA
Khalilah Brown: Senior at New Trier High School who also runs track, wants to be a doctor; from Wilmette, IL
Chris Lovelady: Sophomore at St. Pete Catholic High who likes U.S. history and English, from St. Petersburg, FL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Chris solves BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR.
We're not picky about the way Chris behaves as long as he promises us he'll go for the $3,500 space or the $10,000 prize.
Khalilah solves LUNCH MONEY to keep the computer.
We're past the point that Azie can settle for a little lunch money. She could pay for years of lunches after a $5,000 spin. If she wants to pick something up, we've added a 46-inch TV.
DING DING! DING DING!
Somebody's gonna have to break for lunch, so to finish our current game, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece.
Azie: N (x2) ($2,200)
Khalilah: B (DUD!)
Chris: C (x2) ($1,600)
Chris solves PINOCCHIO'S NOSE.
BONUS ROUND:

Chris has decided that's enough money for now, so he solves GRAMMY WINNER SHERYL CROW.
Pat caught on that he mispronounced the I in Khalilah's name, and it actually sounds like an E.

We don't have any trophies for you to win right now. For this round, you'll have to take an AT&T personal multimedia desktop computer with CD-ROM, modem, and Microsoft Windows (labeled COMPUTER) worth $1,499.
Chris had guts, and he didn't even need a $2,500 space on the Wheel. Khalilah had better not stop before she hits it!

He instantly solves DISNEY WORLD, and we're sorry that he hasn't won a trip there...
...but he has more than enough to pay for a trip with $25,000! Chris finishes with $34,400 in cash, and that could be a good total for Friday!
In the post-game chat, Vanna says she's just here doing her job...and her husband called her before the show started to tell her that her son just said "mama". Vanna missed it! She couldn't be there. 
Of course, had she not been here doing her job, Pat thinks her son's first words could've been "poorhouse".
