RETRO RECAP: June 23, 1995 (Season 12 FINALE!)

Last time, I screwed up thinking a Power Players was a Friday Finals, when I was one season ahead of the curve. This time, I am pretty sure this is a Friday Finals.

From Television City in California, which under quick research is the last time they shot there, It's the Friday Finals of Teen Week, June 23, 1995, and it's about time to kick it off!

And sure enough, at the time of this writing, we only have one of the three contestants' wins recorded!

David Bigger? is from Glendale, AZ. On Thursday Episode, won the College Annuity and BR, $37,700 of winnings! Pat guesses "College and a Car" for use for money, and David agrees.

Brook Severson is from Medina, MN. Trip to Switzerland, lots of cash, and a total of $39,166. First time in LA, been in San Fran before.(See here for her recap on Wednesday.)

Angela Geaforne? is from Bloomingdale, IL. Won $32,150 in pure cash on Tuesday (College + Car.)

Alrighty! Let's start with tingy! TDV is $1,000!

Alright, Round 2 has a trip to Orlando! Walt Disney World, in the heart of EPCOT, connected by water or walkway to EPCOT and MGM Studios. ARP: $6,788

But if you want to get a chance at the wheel, you need to get a CLUE! (Also, unannounced, TDV now $2500.)

Just missing the Free Spin, Brook gets $400 from a T, $750 from a trio of the S on $250 near Orlando, $1,200 $400 from a trio of R's, Buys 5 I's, $250 twice in a row for an F and an N respectively, buys an E, $1,200 from 3 L's on $400 again, but duds on an M on $250.

CLUE


Angela gets BIBLE'S FIRST SIBLING RIVALRY for $1,450, and guesses ADAM & EVE for the clue, but that's wrong. Don't worry, no one CAIN solve it, because no one was ABEL. (Someone help me for using that pun for Cain & Abel).
