Airdate: April 14, 1995

From Hollywood, It's America's game! One last day of Teen Week before they run off...

Today's finalists:
Stacey Levine (returning with a total of $30,666)
Chris Lovelady (returning with a total of $34,400)
Matt McLean (returning with a total of $34,730)

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

Round 1

TITLE

STACEY	Chris	Matt
$500: T $250: H (x2) BANKRUPT! ($1,000)	$500: S (DUD!)	$500: L (DUD!)

SURPRISE: N $400: R $750: M -$250: E (x2) $500: V $400: B (x2) -$250: O $750: D Solve: Correct!
$2,700+

TITLE

Stacey solves THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE, and the story of this round ends with her winning a family trip to the Virgin Islands and stay at Long Bay Beach Resort and Villas worth $12,840!

Stacey	Chris	Matt
$15,540

There's a story about a man named Charlie, which may only be told to the player who wins a U.S. Space Camp holiday in Huntsville, Alabama (labeled SPACE CAMP) worth $2,500.

Now for a bunch of money from the $2,500 space.

Round 2

THING

Stacey	CHRIS	Matt
	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$300: S Free Spin: T (DUD!)
		$300
$450: R BANKRUPT! ($450)	$200: C (x3) -$250: E (x2) Space Camp: N $400: L (DUD!)	$400: M -$250: A (x2) $300: D $200: H BANKRUPT! ($950)
	$350+
$300: W Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$300

Chris's name tag falls off as he picks up the SPACE CAMP wedge.

THING

Stacey solves ICE CREAM SANDWICH.

Stacey	Chris	Matt
$15,840

You will notice if that sandwich melts on top of the $3,500 space. Speaking of sandwich, you'll want to get to the soft center of the $10,000 space!

Round 3

THINGS

Stacey	Chris	MATT
		BANKRUPT/$10K! ($0)

$400: T $250: S (x2) $500: R (x2) -$250: A (DUD!)	$500: L (DUD!)	$800: D (x2) $150: X $700: C (DUD!)
$1,650		$1,750
-$250: E (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,400

THINGS

Stacey solves PROM DRESS & TUXEDO.

Stacey	Chris	Matt
$17,240

Look at them all sharply dressed, but not as sharp as that $5,000 space on the Wheel! Look at someone picking up an ugly but still valuable space marked JUKEBOX.

Round 4

THING

STACEY	Chris	Matt
$500: T (DUD!)	$350: S -$250: E (DUD!)	$1,500: L (DUD!)
	$100
$500: N $10,000!: R (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($100)	JUKEBOX: C (DUD!)
$500
$1,500: M (DUD!)	$600: D (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!
$500
$550: G (DUD!)	$700: K (DUD!)	$1,500: P -$250: I (x2) $250: V BANKRUPT/$10K! ($1,500)
$500
$400: Y Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$900

THING

Stacey solves POISON IVY. That Wheel is now harmful to the touch...

...so we end with a main game sweep by Stacey!

Stacey	Chris	Matt
$18,140

Chris still has his total of $34,400 from earlier in the week, while Matt stays at $34,730.

BONUS ROUND:

It's safe for Stacey to take the walk to Bonus Land to add to her $48,806 in cash and prizes. She'll end by winning a car or a Caribbean cruise (itself added to her three trips).

She can breathe a sigh of relief after she sees what's inside the W envelope, which will happen after this puzzle is fully revealed:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

KBGA can give her a helpful vowel.

THING

She instantly solves PARTY HAT...

...and she'll throw a party to celebrate winning a Caribbean cruise with family on the Norway including beaches and tours worth $15,916! Stacey leaves with a grand total of $64,722!

In the post-game chat, Vanna asks if Pat remembers when he was a teen. It was so long ago, and it's a rotten thing to say. He does remember, and he even has photographic evidence...somewhere. Everyone looks like World War II refugees with their big woolen coats and fashionable hats. He had a depressing thought that there are people old enough to be on Teen Week who weren't even born when Pat started hosting. He's truly depressed...and old, too. He finishes by telling Vanna "Like you're way behind me."
