Nighttime Wheel of Fortune: "College Week" - Original Airdate 11/20/1997 (Season 15)
Coming to you from the Buell Theater in Denver, Colorado, this is College Week, where three top undergrads are spinning for tuition money tonight on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
(Note: sound quality of this episode was poor, so some dud letters or mis-solves may not be 100% accurate)
Let's meet tonight's trio of college coeds:
Roel Gutierrez, senior nursing student at Regis University (and the provider of this episode - thanks!)
Paige Baumbach, also a nursing student but attending the University of Nebraska at Lincoln
Holly Van Overbeck, a junior and future kindergarten teacher representing Colorado State
ROUND 1:
$1,000 is the top dollar value in our first round.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PLACE
Roel will get us oriented to the program by spinning up a $450 N. His second spin is even better - three $700 S's... but even better - two spins later, his power pattern nets him a $1,000 L to add to his nest egg! He buys us out of vowels, and a few letters later:
S _ E A _ _ O A _
S _ R I N _ S
C O L O R A D O
PLACE
Roel will solve STEAMBOAT SPRINGS COLORADO for $3,650!
PERFECT ROUND!
Roel: $3,650
Paige: will touch the wheel soon
Holly: enjoying the show?
ROUND 2 - $10,000 ROUND:
$2,500 is the top dollar. The $10,000 "Oreo" wedge is out there, and also this prize:
a Yamaha motorcycle valued at $4,349!
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ _ _ _
THINGS
Paige gets her first action of the match, and it's a pair of $600 T's - but then we get our first dud of the day... no S. Holly finally gets to touch the wheel now, but there's no N either! Our leader, Roel, will hit the red $900 for a pair of L's and again for a P, but his next one is two spaces short - it's the FREE SPIN, which he will not pick up with a bad R. Paige will try again, and after an $800 H she nearly repeats the bad N, but catches herself just in the nick of time and calls D instead. She decides that's too close of a call and she'll solve:
_ L P H _
_ _ T _
_ _ _ _ _ / &
D _ L T _
THINGS
and ALPHA BETA GAMMA & DELTA will put her on the board with $2,600! However, she won't earn a bonus of $2,000 for identifying the last letter of the Greek alphabet - which, for the record, is OMEGA.
Duds: S (Paige), N (Holly), R (Roel)
Roel: $3,650
Paige: $2,600
Holly: try again next round!
ROUND 3 - JACKPOT ROUND:
Our $3,500 space and the Tiger Electronics Jackpot wedge are on the wheel this round.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ - _ _
_ _ _ _ _
BEFORE & AFTER
Holly gets her second spin of the night, and it's just one peg short of $3,500... but one peg makes a $6,500 difference when she finds a pair of $250 T's. She spin $250 twice more, and then hits the SURPRISE with an N! Next stop is the motorcycle... but no S. Roel will take one turn and no P's, but there's a P in Paige, who will spin next. She does a little work, but then gives us our first penalty spin of the night - it's BANKRUPT. Back to Holly who hits the JACKPOT! There is an M, and with $6,650 in the Jackpot, she'll take a swing at it:
_ _ T T L E
D R I V E - I N
M O V I E
BEFORE & AFTER
but her guess, which sounds like WITTLE DRIVE-IN MOVIE, is clearly a wild one and clearly wrong. Around to Roel who spins the MOTORCYCLE and puts up the last consonant, a C:
C _ T T L E
D R I V E - I N
M O V I E
BEFORE & AFTER
and solves CATTLE DRIVE-IN MOVIE for the $4,349 dirtbike!
Duds: S (Holly), P (Paige)
Bankrupt: Paige ($500)
DQ: Holly's blown Jackpot solve
Unclaimed Jackpot: $6,650
Roel: $7,999 cash and motorcycle
Paige: $2,600
Holly: gooseegg alert
ROUND 4 (FULL SPEEDUP):
$5,000 is glittering away in the top dollar spot, but the only one that may hit it is Pat - it's Final Spin time right away! He hauls off and spins it... two pegs short of glitter, it's $250.
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PERSON
It takes three full rounds and almost all the letters, but finally:
G U E _ T
L E C T U R E R
PERSON
Holly avoids being blanked by solving GUEST LECTURER for $750!
Duds: A (Paige), P (Roel)
Missed Solve: Holly with "POET LECTURER"
Roel: $7,999 cash and motorcycle
Paige: $2,600 cash
Holly: $750 cash
Roel will go to the Bonus Round and try to earn enough to come back tomorrow on the Friday Finals!
BONUS ROUND:
The W and first E in WHEEL remain to be chosen, meaning we've been perfect in Bonus Rounds so far! Roel will pick the W and hope for the best!
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
PHRASE
Let's help him out with RSTLNE...
T _ _ _ _
_ _ S E
PHRASE
He would like an additional CPMO...
T O _ C _
_ _ S E
PHRASE
Roel will shake his head for a few seconds but then it strikes him - TOUCH BASE! He's won a Toyota 4Runner worth $32,817, giving him a grand total of $40,816 - which will be enough for him to return for the Friday Finals tomorrow!
