November 12, 1998 recap

Airdate: November 12, 1998

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Soap Stars Week!

Today's fans (each introducing their own stars):
Jennifer Volpy: Married, is an elementary school teacher, from The Bronx, NY
Wendy LaRoche: Married, is a manager for a well-known care organization, from Lawrenceville, GA
Lynn Laither (?): College student at South Arkansas Community College, wants to be a physical therapy assistant, from El Dorado, AR

And today's stars:
From General Hospital, Billy Warlock! (playing for Child Welfare League of America)
From Days of our Lives, Renée Jones! (playing for Children of the Night)
From The Young and the Restless Joshua Morrow! (playing for Veet Foundation and TV Cares)

(Wendy's nametag falls off after she introduces her star.)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. No big deal, I hope? A new category might be!


Lynn & Joshua solve FINE WINE.


We add this prize to the Wheel: A trip to Cancun and stay at the Meliá (labeled Cancun) worth $2,950.

We now cautiously add a $2,500 and one-third $10,000 space.


Lynn & Joshua solve HYANNIS PORT IN MASSACHUSETTS.

For $3,000, solve this puzzle. There are teams anyway, so maybe that will be an advantage!

Nothing. The answer was THE KENNEDYS.


Another prize for the Wheel! There is a Gibson electric bass and piano (labeled MUSIC) worth $5,600.

At least you can have both here. They're the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces.


Perfection! Lynn & Joshua solve OPPOSITES ATTRACT.


We still have time for another round...

DING DING! DING DING!

But we don't have much time, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, for consonants worth...$300 a piece.

Jennifer & Billy: T (x2) ($600)
Wendy & Renée: S (x2) ($600)
Lynn & Joshua: N (x2) ($600)
Jennifer & Billy: R (x2) ($1,200)
Wendy & Renée: Y ($900)
Lynn & Joshua: L ($900)

Lynn & Joshua SWEEP THE GAME with PERSONALIZED STATIONERY.


The drama was just too much for Jennifer and Wendy. They each receive some nice parting gifts.

The Free Spin also gets caught in the shut out.

Billy and Renée each receive the guaranteed $10,000 minimum for their charities.





BONUS ROUND:

A main-game sweep, but for better or for worse? They still have to solve one more puzzle for a semi-perfect record...

Joshua picks the W. Will this final puzzle make or break?

RSTLNE gives them...

Joshua picks, and Lynn picks. It will be DFHA:

They instantly solve SAXOPHONIST to COMPLETE THE SWEEP!!!

They also get $25,000 extra! Lynn and Joshua each finish with $34,850!

Pat, Vanna, and the stars all say goodbye...
