Airdate: May 4, 1998
From the George R. Brown Center in Houston, it's America's game!
The following trio has not been coached by Jerry Springer staff, as confirmed by Pat:
Paul Balcombe, Jr.: full-time worker from Spring (and enjoys watching/playing along with family at home!)
Michael Wilson: Attorney from Sugar Land (and is instructed not to give names associated with his firm...)
Sherry Hale: A court reporter from Houston (and never missed a day of school!)
Remember that the top-dollar value is $1,000...and I guess a "Springer" will be starting this puzzle:
Michael solves PITCHING GREAT NOLAN RYAN.
How will you look with a Western Wear gift certificate, with a choice of Stelzig fashions plus some R.J.'s cowboy boots (labeled WEAR)? This could be yours, worth $5,000.
Don't forget about $2,500 or the one-third $10,000 space! And time for our next round!
Paul reads what's on the board. He will get a $2,000 bonus if he can find out who they are...
...and he does, increasing his score to $2,500. The answer is Huey, Dewey, and Louie (or Huey, Louie, and Dewey).
That round was quite a show itself, but how about another show as part of a Houston Theatre District package (labeled THEATRE) worth $3,940?
It's also the Jackpot Round, meaning it's a good idea to add the $3,500 space. Round 3, commence:
Sherry solves MILD MEDIUM OR EXTRA HOT.
We're almost out of time, so the Wheel will need a Final Spin...but $300? Well, it's still anybody's game.
Paul: T (x3) ($900)
Michael: H (x2) ($600)
Sherry: F (x2) ($600)
Sherry solves THE RIGHT STUFF.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her Pat standing in front of the camera and...
She's leaving it up to BCDA, which is not too shabby:
She still cannot solve HANDSHAKE...
...and loses the TRUCK. Thus, she finishes with only $3,200. It would take a miracle for Sherry to have enough for the Friday Finals, but one can hope things work out.

Sherry had a little fun toying around with Pat just after picking up the $10,000 wedge. She also thought she landed on Lose A Turn when hitting $450 due to looking at the wrong arrow, and she actually tried to hand in her Free Spin then.
