April 13, 1995 recap

Airdate: April 13, 1995

From Hollywood, It's America's game! This is Teen Week!

Today's contestants (all male):
T.J. Quek: Senior at Park View Senior High and active in the Future Farmers of America, hopes to pursue a career in mathematics and maybe marine biology; from Bracey, VA
Ricky Tanner: Junior at Bridgeport Central who plays baseball and bowling, and he wants to be a baseball player; from Bridgeport, CT
Richie Kern: High school junior (couldn't catch the school name) active in the Pep L.A. peer education project in Los Angeles where teens go to other school and lecture about safety from AIDS

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:




Ricky solves AUNTS UNCLES & COUSINS. Now, listen to Uncle Charlie, and he will award you the SURPRISE...a dude ranch adventure at New York's Roseland Ranch in Stanfordville worth $6,280.

---

Finally, listen to papa Pat as he tells you the category for the next puzzle, and he'll let you hit the $2,500 space.




Ricky solves ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT. First the motorcycle helmet, and now this? We even had the same SURPRISE on Tuesday.

---

Unlike Tuesday, we don't need to worry about it shedding on the $3,500 space. For those who like to live dangerously, we've fastened a $10,000 prize to the Wheel.




T.J. solves SCHOOL NEWSPAPER.

---

Will the paper be writing a story about how a $5,000 spin changed someone's life? We've printed COMPUTER on one of those blank wedges, and guess what can be won?




Richie solves PIERCED EARS.

---

Ricky solves FIELD TRIP.

Somebody has to make the extra trip to set up the puzzle board for yet another round.
