Airdate: May 6, 1999
From Philadelphia's Apollo of Temple, it's America's game!
Today's contestants:
Frank Daly: Involved in sales for a major software firm, from Haverford
Megan Nagrone: Married and proud mother of one child, from West Deptford, NJ
John Buschiazzo: Married, is a high school math teacher, from Newark, DE
John also knows his TV sitcoms, and gave Pat a quiz about the Brady Bunch. Pat got it wrong.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Maybe it will help Pat get through this, starting with our first round:
The camera was pointed too high for the reveal.
Pat references the "null" cycle by saying "There is no M, either!" despite being the first aired lost turn. Yes, it was "null" as Frank's Free Spin is still visible in Round 4.
John solves DAISY DUCK.
No need to take cover here, as it's just another prize, specifically a Ritz Camera Center package (labeled PHOTO) worth $2,500.
But your opponents might want to take cover if you hit the $2,500 or one-third $10,000 spaces.
John solves BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S FAMOUS KITE EXPERIMENT. But can he unlock a $3,000 bonus?
Very excitedly, and before the timer starts, he solves LIGHTNING.
From our little vault, we have added a trip to New Hampshire and stay at Inns of Mill Falls (labeled TRIP) worth $3,968.
We have also unleashed the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces!
Perfection! John solves TRUE OR FALSE TEETH.
Tell John that the $5,000 space wants the spotlight too.
Double perfection! Frank solves CONVENIENT LOCATION.
They're pretty quick, so we have time for another round.
Frank solves PEA PODS. Remaining within their limits, we're done!
...and then Megan is stuck somewhere in between. Consequently, she's stuck with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
We're on a roll in Bonus Land. John has it tough.
He picks the H from the holder. Here is the puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
John will freely pick BMCA...
...but Vanna is trapped.
He make several guesses somehow including ZEROES, but does not solve VIRGOS...
...and he's unfortunately restrained from the Porsche. He still leaves with $15,550, all cash.
