Airdate: June 20, 1995

From Hollywood, It's America's game! Welcome to Teen Week!

Today's contestants:
Angela Gianforte: Sophomore at Lake Park East Campus involved in drama, also a honor roll student and does shampoo at a hair salon; from Bloomingdale, IL
Adam Boken: Junior at Dr. Phillips High School who enjoys acting and sports, and he's involved at a children's radio station part-time, and wants to be a pediatrician; from Orlando, FL
Ben Whites: Junior at Notre Dame High School active on the track team, also an assistant editor-in-chief at the paper; from Sherman Oaks, CA

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

Round 1

PHRASE

ANGELA	Adam	Ben
$250: R (DUD!)	$250: S (x2) SURPRISE: T (x2) -$250: E (x5) $300: H $250: N (x2) -$250: A (x3) $700: M -$250: O (x2) $200: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$1,650+

PHRASE

Adam solves PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. But giving them prizes is okay, right? Adam wants that SURPRISE, so let's give him a Curtis Mathes home entertainment center with TV and audio/video worth $6,495!

Angela	Adam	Ben
	$8,145

We won't be releasing Charlie from his cage, but he's having fun in there. One of these three teens will go crazy for a Gateway 2000 family PC with Corel Draw! (labeled COMPUTER) worth $2,199.

Pat must remind Charlie to watch his language, and Adam must watch it when he surprises himself with a $2,500 spin.

Round 2

CLUE

Angela	ADAM	Ben
	$500: S $800: T $250: R (DUD!)	$200: N (DUD!)
	$1,300
$300: P (DUD!)	$800: M COMPUTER: C (DUD!)	$500: L (DUD!)
	$2,100
$200: G $700: K (DUD!)	$300: F (DUD!)	$750: H (x2) -$250: E $250: D (x2) Free Spin: W -$250: A (x4) -$250: I -$250: O (x3) $200: B $200: Y Solve: Correct!
$200	$2,100	$1,400

Ben asks if he grabs the Free Spin for calling the D, but he's looking at the wrong arrow...and then he lands on it after all.

CLUE

Ben reads what's on the board. What a good boy would do is give us the answer to the clue for a $500 bonus.

He doesn't know, but he thinks it's a nursery rhyme. A good girl could take the bonus.

She tries Santa Claus which gets some laughs, though he's a good old man himself. We must check in with Adam.

We're sure Little Boy Blue is a good boy, but this one's a triple stumper. The boy we want is Little Jack Horner.

Angela	Adam	Ben (FS)
	$8,145	$1,400

Even a good boy can take a risk every once in a while. That boy could be Ben, and good boys deserve some cash from the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces.

Round 3

EVENT

Angela	Adam	BEN (FS)
		$450: T Lose A Turn! (Free Spin used) $900: H -$250: E -$250: O (x3) $550: S (x4) $600: Y (DUD!)
		$3,050
$450: R $300: C (x2) $200: N (x3) $500: M Solve: Correct!
$2,150

EVENT

Angela solves TOM HANKS WINS SECOND OSCAR.

Angela	Adam	Ben
$2,150	$8,145	$1,400

There's another good old man around here, and it's Pat who's listening to our calls to give the Wheel spin. Consonants will be worth... $5,000 a piece! Angela starts.

Pat was even dozing for a moment and forgot how late it was. Maybe he should forget about it more often.

Round 4

THING

Angela: S (x2) ($10,000)
Adam: T ($5,000)
Ben: N (DUD!)
Angela: R ($15,000)

Adam: C (x2) ($15,000)
Ben: B (DUD!)
Angela: J (DUD!)
Adam: K (DUD!)
Ben: A ($5,000)
Angela: H (x3!) ($30,000)

THING

Angela solves HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE for her come-from-behind victory!

Angela	Adam	Ben
$32,150	$8,145	$1,400

BONUS ROUND:

She loves chocolate even more after that Speed-Up, and what will she love next if she wins one of two trips, a college annuity, or a car?

Before her second big solve, Angela will pick the L. She must solve this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She gets some good letters with MCDA.

THING

She needed a little more. She's silent and does not solve ENCYCLOPEDIA...

...so we won't be reading about her winning a Hawaii trip. Angela has no need to feel sad, as she's won an all-cash total of $32,150 which could easily bring her back on Friday.

In the post-game chat, Pat talks about how you cannot think write the word encyclopedia without thinking about the Jiminy Cricket song from The Mickey Mouse Club.
