Airdate: April 11, 1995
From Hollywood, It's America's game! Welcome to Teen Week!
Today's contestants:
Jennifer Shilling: Sophomore at Lasseter High School (?) who wants to be a psychologist, from Roswell, GA
Matt McLean: Junior at Chisago Lakes High School who is thinking of being a police officer, from Wyoming, MN
Josh Baker: Junior at Norte Vista High School in the track team, and he wants a broadcasting career; from Riverside, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Matt solves TORI SPELLING BEE for the house minimum.
We won't notice if a certain sparkly wedge sheds all over the $3,500 space. And be warned that no helmet is going to protect you on your way to the one-third $10,000 space.
It's a classic "light bulb" moment as Matt suddenly solves DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS.
Jennifer need not feel like a stranger on this show. She's absolutely encouraged to spin the $5,000 space. Charlie won't talk to us about a COMPUTER until it's won.
Jennifer solves REMOTE CONTROL.
It would be time for Pat to put on his helmet if he had one. He'll give the Wheel a Final Spin, with consonants worth... $500 a piece.
Josh: N (DUD!)
Jennifer: T (x2) ($1,000)
Matt: R ($1,200)
Josh: L ($500)
Jennifer: F ($1,500)
Matt: C (Repeat)
Josh: I (DUD!)
Jennifer: O ($1,500)
Matt: W (DUD!)
Josh: D (DUD!)
Jennifer: A (DUD!)
Matt: M (DUD!)
Josh: P ($1,000)
Jennifer solves SOFT PRETZELS.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:

Josh could use a pretzel or two so he can feel better, because he has just ended up with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Pat is no stranger to Matt anymore. They take the walk to Bonus Land, and Matt could win a car, a college annuity, a chocolate spree, or a cruise.
Will he feel comfortable picking an envelope? He has to do it regardless, so he'll take the H, and then we'll offer him this puzzle:

He instantly solves VACATION, and this time, it could be inside the envelope...
...but Matt will be happy to take the college annuity from RBP that matures in 3 years to $25,000! Matt has taken $34,730 in cash and prizes, and he's looking good for Friday!
In the post-game chat, Pat asks what's left. Just to refresh, there's a car, a trip to Italy, and a Caribbean cruise. Vanna then asks if Pat had a choice between the two trips...and he says he'd take them both, because he's the host, and he deserves them.
