Uploaded by the winner. One of the other contestants, however, may be worth feeling rather sorry for.
Note despite the video thumbnail showing the Season 30/31 layout, this is indeed an episode from Season 18, just in case anyone gets confused.

I really hope the uploader comments with the air date. It's hard to narrow it down...
- There is no WOF logo bug, so it's definitely before 03/05/01.
- R4 begins as a Speed-Up and shows the puzzle before the bells, so it's possibly after 11/03/00.
- Pat's comment about all the envelope letters still being green suggest that it's not a Monday show, and probably not Tuesday, either.
- There is no music during the Speed-Up Round, even though the music debuted with the Washington DC shows beginning 11/06/00, so this may have been taped out of order.
- Pat explaining the Toss-Up rules with some detail suggests that it's early in the season, as does that carpet commercial boasting "No interest until Fall 2001" with "2001" underlined for emphasis.
Oh, and the thumbnail is actually from the SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMING episode. He probably just saw that picture on Google Images from one of the many news stories. I can tell it's that since that's where Renee landed before she made the infamous missolve and Pat's monitor has a winter-themed logo.

I'm guessing sometime in November 2000, because the CC plug is after Round 3, as it was on 11/2.

This has to be from somewhere between 11/20/00 and 1/12/01. Based on Pat's wording on 11/27, my guess is that the rule about ending all games with a Speed-Up was in place here too, but they just didn't know what to do so they ended without it.

Nick doesn't remember the exact airdate, just that it was 2000. We can eliminate the weeks of 11/27 (since an episode from that week circulates) and 12/25 (known to be a holiday week), so it's somewhere between 11/21-24 or 12/05-22 (eliminating Monday shows per Pat's "green letters" comment). Can anyone spot any more clues from the commercials?
