Airdate: November 13, 1996
From the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, it's America's game!
Today's contestants:
Steve Shelton: Disc jockey...formerly. Currently in San Francisco (originally from FL)
Bryan Kimmet: Being trained as a customer service representative for an insurance company, from Indianapolis, IN (originally from Van Wert, OH)
Cheryl Channing: Technical editor in the software industry, from Redmond, WA
Steve said "If I didn't get fired, I wouldn't be here right now!", and Pat joked he hopes Steve loses more jobs. Apparently he's not very lucky right now, as he got hit by a car on Labor Day. But he's still cheerful right now, so best of luck to him!
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. The start of finding our worthiest candidate, all the way from this first round:
Cheryl solves SLEIGH RIDE.
Along came a present. We add a Levi Strauss & Co. wardrobe (labeled LEVI'S) worth $2,500
Being a secret Santa isn't necessarily cheap. The $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces could alleviate some of the pressure.
Bryan solves ? BENJAMIN ? SECRETARY ? CITIZEN. Now just identify that missing word for a $2,000 bonus...
We know he's right with an answer of private.
Made public for a long time now; we have the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces set up. Try to cash in during this round!
Bryan pauses after the first word, but then solves WYNTON & BRANFORD MARSALIS.
Hey, suddenly it could come to you. Maybe a boost from the $5,000 space could do it!
Perfection! Steve solves RISING TO THE CHALLENGE. Too bad the challenge is over now, but...
BONUS ROUND:
...from zero to hero, Steve makes it to Bonus Land following a perfect round! He's definitely the candidate for any of...
Saab convertible
Winnebago
Trip to Europe
"The cash" ($25,000)
He's also considered the prime candidate by the audience!
Now he just needs to pick an envelope. What could be inside the first E? And what could that final puzzle be?
RSTLNE gives him...
His own candidates are BMHO:
He does not solve OCTAVE...
...so he doesn't get the Winnebago. He still finishes with $5,550 and plenty of approval from the audience!
During the post-game, Vanna wishes whoever is having a birthday today a happy birthday.
