Airdate: April 28, 1997
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Wheel Across America week!
On the highway today:
Sherry Harn: Married, is a department store sales manager, Austin, TX
Tracey Simpson: Kindergarten teacher at Franklin Elementary School, Santa Monica, CA
Dave Reed-Muller: Shipping manager for a plant nursery, Carlsbad, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. The ATM is on that side of the road, but it's a long way away, as we're starting our first round:
Tracey solves FAMILY REUNION.
Reunited and returning to that tradition...it's time for a prize! We'll offer REI camping gear (labeled CAMPING) worth $2,500.
Our current tradition of cash keeps us happy! How about the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces?
(Aired) Perfection! Tracey finished some other hard work (i.e. the whole puzzle), and now reads for the reward.
Honk! Or, maybe this is the reward! She can win $2,000 more with this question:
In what town did these young women live?
She has no clue. They are from Hooterville. Everyone wonders what is going on...
(The buzzer does not sound on Tracey's lack of a response.)
Tracey could indeed claim it all. The $3,500 and Jackpot spaces are hopeful with this puzzle:
Tracey solves LET THEM EAT CAKE & VANILLA ICE CREAM.
Our next step? The $5,000 space. It could possibly mean a recovery for Dave. Anything's possible in this round:
Sherry solves THE FROG PRINCE, and she gets to see the Surprise...a Grand Cayman Island holiday (plus Bushnell binoculars) for a value of $8,086.
DING DING! DING DING!
What next after Pat does the Final Spin? Consonants will be valued at...$5,000 a piece! Ready, Tracey?
Tracey: T (x2) ($10,000)
Dave: S (Finally.) ($10,000)
Sherry: R (x3!) ($15,000)
Tracey: P (DUD!)
Dave: G ($15,000)
Sherry: Y (x2) ($25,000)
Sherry solves STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE to go from silver to gold!
I really thought Tracey had it. It's just crumbs for Dave though, as he takes home the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
She's skyrocketing right now, and that could be good news for her in Bonus Land.
Saab Convertible
Jeep Wrangler
Amtrak Trip
Harley-Davidsons
"The cash" ($25,000)
Sherry selects the H. We select this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives her...
More common is the choice of CDMA...
...she wasn't expecting a strikeout.
She doesn't know, but says it's okay. She does not solve SUPPLY...
...which leaves her without the Harleys. So what? She already has $42,636, which should give her a spot on Friday!
Pat and Vanna immediately say goodbye, hit the road (by turning their backs), and walking on the dotted yellow line.
