Airdate: February 27, 1995
From Walt Disney World in Orlando, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
But these players are just as great, you know?
Dan Nicolella: Plumbing supervisor for a New York City department of general services, from Queens, NY
Jean Lepola: Does clerical word for a food broker, from Westland, MI
Renae Whatley-Williams: Homemaker, from Cranberry Township, PA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and who here will win the crowd?
Something happened with Dan's spin for the Q, but it was still focused on the puzzle.
Later, he tried to call a P on BANKRUPT. So close.
Jean solves QUIT YAPPING.
The prize wedge won't stop yapping about how long it has been away. It's back as a selection of Fred Hayman casual handbags (labeled HANDBAGS) worth $2,000.
On with the show, and here's the $2,500 space!
Dan solves SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NEWT GINGRICH.
Time for some progress. We have the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces all set up.
Perfection! Renae almost mispronounces PUTTING, but then corrects herself at AROUND and reaps the reward.
An unusual way to claim the prize. Can we top that when we claim a trip to Poland (labeled POLAND)?
If not, you can always just go for the $5,000 space.
Dan solves SOPHIA LOREN. I don't think we could take much more drama.
BONUS ROUND:
See what happens when you go all the way, even if you didn't mean it? It's Renae who plays for one of...
Trip to Italy
Motor home
Convertible
Historic document
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
Over to the L, then over to this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives her...
To put the puzzle in its place, how about CDMA?
She thinks about -ARM, but does not solve PARK...
...leaving her without the Motor home. The audience felt that loss. Still, she's got $9,900 and is coming back!
During the post-game, a round of applause to Charlie for all the work he does announcing. We get to see him on camera!
