Nighttime Wheel of Fortune: "My Best Friend" - Original Airdate 1/20/95 (Season 12)
We've been playing with pairs of BFFs all week - now the winningest three sets are back. It's the Friday Finals on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Let's meet the top three teams of the week:
Chi Lan Liu & Le Trung - prior winnings: $28,088 (won cruise in the bonus round)
Kristi Mizelle & Shawna Fitz - prior winnings: $34,238 (won the $25,000)
Cedric Aldman & Quintan Dougherty - prior winnings: $27,323 (won the savings bond)
ROUND 1:
$1,000 is the top dollar in this round. The SURPRISE is also out there,
and the Free Spin is parked on the blue $300.

FILL IN THE BLANK
We get a special category to start, and the special team of Chi Lan and Le will kick off this Friday Final by spinning the SURPRISE! They'll pick it up with an R and keep on going, inching their way around the wheel a couple spaces at a time. After hitting $750 for a pair of N's, they buy a trio of A's, but after all that work their turn will stop due to a bad K. Kristi and Shawna will take over, filling in almost all of the puzzle:
? I S L A N D
? A R M / O F
T H E / L A _
? J O H N S
FILL IN THE BLANK
and they'll solve ? ISLAND, ? ARM OF THE LAW, ? JOHNS for $1,450, then pick up $500 more for filling in the blank with LONG!
Sole Dud: K (Chi Lan/Le)
Chi Lan/Le: dud artists
Kristi/Shawna: $1,950
Cedric/Quintan: haven't had a turn yet
ROUND 2:
$2,500 comes out to play, and we add this prize to the wheel:
it's a trip to Kona, Hawaii worth a whopping $9,952!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
EVENT
Kristi and Shawna will spin and try to add to their already impressive total. They just clear the Bankrupt into $350 and find a pair of T's to start the round off right... but even better - their next spin is good for a $2,500 H! There's a bit of a scare when Pat tries to clarify whether they're calling B or V later on... but they said V, and there are two - $5,050 for them at this point. A little later, a pair of D's will get them that HAWAII trip, and they will solve:
T E L E V I S I O N
A D D _ E S S
F _ O _ / T H E
O V A L / O F F I C E
EVENT
and a TELEVISION ADDRESS FROM THE OVAL OFFICE is worth $6,300 plus the big trip!
PERFECT ROUND!
Chi Lan/Le: didn't touch the wheel this round
Kristi/Shawna: $18,202 cash and trip
Cedric/Quintan: still haven't had a turn yet
ROUND 3 - $10,000 ROUND:
We change the wheel up a bit - $3,500 is out there now. We also have the $10,000 "Oreo" wedge available.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
BEFORE & AFTER
Cedric and Quintan will finally get to touch the wheel in this game - but there's no R's - so much for that. Back to Chi Lan and Le, who nail... the BANKRUPT. It's Kristi and Shawna all over again, and they commence with finding FOUR T's on $300. They're working hard like last round, and look at this - it's the $10,000 filling in the middle of the Oreo wedge! The yellow team will pick that up with a pair of B's and it will go nicely with the $3,000 currently in their bank. They'll buy a trio of E's and then solve:
B _ N _ _ E T
T _ B _ E / O F
C O N T E N T S
BEFORE & AFTER
They have no trouble with BANQUET TABLE OF CONTENTS -
that's another $12,750 in cash for them and they are rolling!
Sole Dud: R (Cedric/Quintan)
Bankrupt: Chi Lan/Le (loss of turn)
Chi Lan/Le: gooseegg alert
Kristi/Shawna: $30,952 cash and trip
Cedric/Quintan: gooseegg alert
ROUND 4 (FULL SPEEDUP):
$5,000 is now on the wheel, but there's no time to add a prize - Pat will spin up $5,000!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
MEGAWORD
Chi Lan, Le, Cedric, and Quintan have their last chance to get into the game, but there's only 10 letters in this puzzle. This one makes the rounds three full times, and on the fourth pass...
S _ N C _ P _ T _ D
MEGAWORD
Kristi and Shawna will sweep the maingame with SYNCOPATED for $20,000, plus $1,000 more for saying "The band played a SYNCOPATED beat"!
Duds: R (Cedric/Quintan), H (Cedric/Quintan), L (Chi Lan/Le), M (Cedric/Quintan), F (Chi Lan/Le)
Chi Lan/Le: GOOSEEGG'D
Kristi/Shawna: $51,952 cash and trip
Cedric/Quintan: GOOSEEGG'D
MAINGAME SWEEP!
Kristi and Shawna will go to Bonusland - was there any doubt?
BONUS ROUND:
Pat does something new - instead of making our winners pick a WHEEL letter, he lets them pick between the pair of pianos and the pair of cars. They naturally want to play for those automobiles, so let's go!
_ _ _ _ _

Here comes RSTLNE...
_ _ N E _
THING
They would like DPCI, and Vanna would like to give them some, but there are none to give. They have two guesses - bad ones: BARNEY and ACNE, neither of which fit the board. It's what they won in a previous bonus round and all day today - MONEY. But they have no grounds to complain - their final two-game total is $86,190 in cash and prizes!
