Airdate: April 29, 1997
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Wheel Across America week!
Merging today:
Monica Leleah (?): Sophomore at Santa Clara University majoring in English and communications, also a photographer, North Ridge, CA
Vinnie Marino-Vitani: Law enforcer at Palm Beach County sheriff's office, Boynton Beach, FL
Ardis Hansberry: Active in the church ministries, from Culver City (5 or 6 blocks away!)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We play nice, and won't crash. Now here's our first puzzle:
Ardis solves SPORTS ARENA.
I thought I said we play nice. Eh, whatever. You may be responsible for this prize: A trip to San Diego stay at Scripps Inn Bed & Breakfast (labeled S.D.) worth $2,839.
Take all you can from the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces to maximize your winnings!
Ardis solves NOBODY CAN EAT JUST ONE for the San Diego trip. Whose slogan is that for the $2,000 bonus?
She whispers "potato chip", but guesses Ruffles instead of Lay's.
Here's something a bit more surprising though...Ardis has won a Jamaica holiday worth $6,800.
You can open the curtain now. We've added the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces.
Ardis solves THE TONIGHT SHOW'S KEVIN EUBANKS.
The $5,000 is out, and will we have a repeat of yesterday?
DING DING! DING DING!
For Ardis...what bad luck? Now Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, with consonants worth...$250 a piece.
Monica: C (DUD!)
Vinnie: K (DUD!)
Ardis: L (DUD!)
Monica: M ($250)
Vinnie: W ($850)
Ardis: Z (x2) ($500)
Ardis solves WARM AND FUZZY TO SWEEP THE GAME!
What a U-turn, as blue gets revenge. Monica and Vinnie get some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Will Ardis warm up to a clean sweep? She could claim...
Saab Convertible (almost $42,000)
Harley-Davidson motorcycles (over $17,000)
"Discover America" Amtrak Trip (over $15,000)
Jeep Wrangler
"The cash" ($25,000)
With an in-depth look, Ardis has a better idea. Time to pick the L and see if this puzzle leads to a clean sweep:
RSTLNE gives her...
Fill in the rest with POYG, please:
She quickly solves GARNISH to COMPLETE THE SWEEP!
She also claims the Saab 900 SE Turbo Convertible worth $41,995, raising her score to $62,134! She's definitely gotta come back on Friday!
