Airdate: November 11, 1992
From the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, it's America's game! This is the Soap Opera College Challenge!
(Today is an all-male trio.)
Today's student:
Jason Laiser: Sophomore in University of Miami learning political science, hopes to become a lawyer, from Miami Beach, FL
Playing against him are...
From The Young and the Restless, Scott Reeves! (playing for Cal State Northridge)
From Guiding Light, Frank Dicopoulos! (playing for Kenyon College)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are fighting over some cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Jason says what's on the board. After all that, I don't think he'll get tangled by the $500 bonus.
But he did. With no response, we move to Scott.
He's alright. He answers ink. (The chyron color does not match.)
Jason still has the Surprise...a Grand Canyon rafting trip worth $6,375.
We have another prize all set up, with no tangles here. It's a pair of Van Cleef and Arpels ear clips (labeled EARCLIPS) worth $4,400.
Most often, it's easy to understand the $2,500 space.
Before the S, Scott tried to buy a vowel after spinning.
Scott solves UNDERSTANDING THE BIG PICTURE.
Out to ensure big winnings, the $3,500 is on the Wheel for this round:
Before the W, Frank tried to buy a vowel after spinning.
Jason solves FORMER FEDERAL PRISON IN THE BAY. Same idea, with the $500 bonus.
This time he gets it. The clue refers to Alcatraz. (Again, the chyron color does not match.)
The day is almost over, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$250 a piece. Jason begins:
Jason: N (x2) ($500)
Scott: T (x4) ($1,000) (and a partial guess of AT THE THING WINS OUT IT'S...)
Frank: S (x2) ($500)
Jason: L (DUD!)
Scott: R (x2) ($1,500) (another partial guess of AT THE SOUND HORN...)
Frank: D ($750)
Jason: Y (x2) ($1,000)
Jason solves IT MAY SOUND CORNY BUT IT'S TRUE for $1,000.
Wow, was that a technical knockout. Frank left his college with some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
The student graduates, but we must verify it with one more puzzle.
Jason picks the L. The puzzle? Right here:
RSTLNE gives him...
Jason takes CPMO:
Success! He instantly solves FOG HORN...
...and he's got the college annuity which will be worth $20,000! He's up to $30,075, and it could possibly work for Friday!
