00:00The famous wheel is spinning your way, with lots of cash in an assortment of fabulous
00:23and exciting prizes.
00:24Over $123,000 given away so far as we continue Teen Week.
00:31And now, here are your host and hostess, Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
00:35Thank you very much.
00:37Thanks, John.
00:38See you later.
00:40Well, it is Teen Week around here at Wheel of Fortune.
00:42Nice way to start off the new year.
00:44And we have three players who have all won a lot of money during the week.
00:48In fact, money is the operative word here.
00:50Starting with George Davis.
00:51George was with us yesterday.
00:53Went pretty well, didn't it?
00:54Yes, it did.
00:55Let's see.
00:56You won the bonus round, which included a college annuity.
00:58And that means you took us for $29,800.
01:01I guess that will come in handy, huh?
01:04Yes, it will.
01:05Because you're a senior, so you'll be spending some of that pretty darn soon.
01:09Good luck to you, George.
01:11Second member of our little playoff triumvirate here is Steve Giannino from Oak Lawn, Illinois.
01:15Steve, you won the cash in the bonus round, right?
01:18Yes, I did.
01:19And a little extra cash along the way.
01:20All together, $37,150.
01:23All cash, Steve.
01:24All cash.
01:25Now, have you discussed with your family the uses for this money?
01:30No.
01:31No?
01:32Do you plan to discuss it?
01:33Maybe.
01:34Oh, all right.
01:35Well, fine.
01:36I don't want to pin you down.
01:37Good luck.
01:39And here's the third member is Matt Sullivan.
01:40Hi, Matt.
01:41You also won money in the form, actually, a savings bond.
01:43And when you add all everything you won, it came out to $32,300.
01:47That's worth a good look.
01:50Matt's from El Centro, California, right?
01:52Right.
01:53And what night were you on the show?
01:55Were you on the first show this week?
01:56Yes.
01:57Monday.
01:58So you've had a whole week to think about things.
01:59You ready to go?
02:00Yeah.
02:01All right.
02:02Let's get on it here.
02:03$1,000 is the top dollar value, as always, for our first round.
02:04We are playing for cash.
02:05And here's our first puzzle.
02:06The category is before and after.
02:08And just for the show, we drew numbers to see who would start the game, as always.
02:11And, George, you drew number one.
02:13Let's go.
02:15$190.
02:20Well, a quiet beginning.
02:22Steve.
02:31$350.
02:32Can I have a T, please?
02:33Yeah, one T.
02:37$100.
02:45$250.
02:46An S.
02:47And there's an S.
02:52Select by a vowel.
02:53All right.
02:54An E.
02:55Mm-hmm.
02:56Lots of Es.
03:00Something like five of them.
03:04I'll spin.
03:05Steve.
03:06Wow.
03:15An N.
03:16Yep.
03:17One N.
03:22I'll spin.
03:30$350 again.
03:33A W.
03:34Yes, there is a W.
03:37I'd like to buy a vowel.
03:38All right.
03:39An A.
03:40Is there an A?
03:41There is.
03:42One A.
03:43You have $800 left.
03:44I'll spin.
03:52$900.
03:55An R.
03:56No, there's no R.
03:57Okay, Matt.
04:07Oh, boy.
04:08Sorry about that.
04:09Well, George, you know how that feels.
04:10See what happens here.
04:18$200.
04:19D.
04:20Nope, no D.
04:21Steve.
04:29Oh, boy.
04:30It's been a slow round here.
04:31Matt.
04:37Come on.
04:38$200.
04:39L.
04:40Yes, one L.
04:41You have a little money.
04:42$200.
04:43Not enough to buy a vowel,
04:44so I guess you want to spin here.
04:52$200.
04:53M.
04:54Yes, two M's.
04:55You have $600.
04:59Spin again or not, Matt.
05:00I'll spin.
05:01You have $600.
05:02Go ahead.
05:07Oh, boy.
05:08It's been too many, as it turns out.
05:10George, a break for you.
05:18Yeah, look at that.
05:19$750.
05:20H.
05:21Yeah, two H's.
05:25I guess that's it.
05:26What do we have there?
05:27Home sweet home alone.
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:30Let's go.
05:33Hello again.
05:35Hello.
05:36Picking up where you left off yesterday.
05:38Well, a little luck doesn't hurt, either,
05:39to have it come to you,
05:40and you ended up solving it nicely.
05:41You have $1,500.
05:42Good start for you.
05:43We'll move right on to round two
05:44with the $2,500 space on the wheel.
05:46Let's add a prize, too.
05:47Charlie, what have you?
05:48Well, Pat, this time,
05:49a gift certificate from Service Merchandise,
05:51where you might select this music package,
05:53which includes stereos, a television,
05:55and an electric keyboard.
05:57Select from their catalog or redeem
05:58at any one of more than 300 stores in 36 states.
06:02From Service Merchandise, $3,000.
06:05All right.
06:06That's the prize.
06:07There it is on the wheel.
06:09And it's time for our next puzzle.
06:11This time, we're looking for a phrase.
06:13We'll give you a little help
06:14in the form of two apostrophes.
06:16And then we'll have Steve spin the wheel.
06:19Okay.
06:26400.
06:27An N?
06:28There are four N's, Steve.
06:31All right.

06:52I'd like to buy a vowel.
06:53All right.

07:45That's what it looks like.
07:46All right.
07:47Pass that free spin.
07:48What do you want to do now?
07:50I'll spin.
07:51Okay.
07:57Ooh, look at that.
08:01An S.
08:02Good thing you used that free spin.
08:04You pick up that music prize worth $3,000.
08:06Put that in front of you.
08:07That'll be yours if you end up solving the puzzle.

08:28A wise time to use the free spin.
08:31Well, you have that music prize.
08:35You have more cash.
08:36So far, that round was worth $4,800 to you.
08:40Congratulations.
08:41You have the lead.
08:42But we have a long way to go here in the finals of Teen Week.
08:45We're just getting started.
08:46We'll take a break.

10:23What do you want to do?
10:24Shh.
10:25I'll buy a vowel.
10:26All right.

10:28Yes.
10:29One A.
10:33I'll buy another vowel.
10:34Okay.

10:37One O.
10:41Spin.
10:45$550.

10:47Yes.
10:48One N, and now you have $6,600.
10:49I'll spin.
10:50Okay.
10:51$550.
10:52K.
10:53Two K's.
10:54$7,700.
10:55Well, Matt, it's a tie.
10:56$6,600.
10:57$6,600.
10:58$6,600.
10:59$6,600.
11:00$6,600.
11:01$6,600.
11:02$6,600.
11:03$6,600.
11:04$6,600.
11:05$6,600.
11:06$6,600.
11:07$6,600.
11:08$6,600.
11:09$6,600.
11:10$6,600.
11:11$6,600.
11:12$6,600.
11:13Matt?
11:14I'll solve it.
11:15Go ahead.
11:16Dr. Spock on Star Trek.
11:17No, I'm sorry.
11:18That's not correct.
11:19Shh.
11:20Don't anybody say anything, please.
11:21George, it's your turn.
11:30$800.
11:31M.
11:32Yes.
11:33There is an M.
11:36I'm going to solve it.
11:37Okay, go ahead.
11:38Mr. Spock on Star Trek.
11:40No, I'm sorry.
11:41That's not right either.
11:42Steve, it's your turn, and I guess you probably want to spin the wheel since you have no money.
11:48But maybe you don't want to.
11:49It's up to you.
11:50No, you don't?
11:51Yeah, I do.
11:52No, you can solve it if you want.
11:53No, I don't.
11:59$1,000.
12:02A C?
12:03Yeah, there is.
12:04It's a C.
12:06Now, you want to take a shot at this?
12:08Go ahead.
12:10Mr. Spock in Star Trek.
12:12Yeah, that's it.
12:17I knew it was Spock.
12:19See, first we had Dr. Spock, then we had Mr. Spock on Star Trek instead of in Star Trek.
12:25That's why it all seemed confusing, and I'm sure I cleared that up for everybody.
12:30You won $1,000.
12:31That's the important thing, and we'll throw in an extra $500 because this is a clue puzzle if you can tell us what that refers to.
12:38Pointy-eared guy.
12:39Pointy-eared guy is not quite enough.
12:42Matt, you want to try for the $500?
12:44I can't remember.
12:45No? Okay.
12:46How about you, George?
12:47Leonard Nimoy.
12:48Yeah, okay.
12:54Leonard Nimoy is a fine actor and director who will go through his life forever as that pointy-eared guy.
13:00Well, what are you going to do?
13:01Anyway, Steve, you have $5,800.
13:03George has a couple of thousand dollars.
13:05Matt's still in the game because we're going to add a $5,000 space when we come back.
13:14So we were waiting for you, and we have a $5,000 space on the wheel, and we've added another terrific prize.
13:20What's this one, Charlie?
13:21Well, Pat, it's a family vacation to Orlando, Florida.
13:24Fly to our favorite sunspot on Delta, Florida, the Bahamas, California, Mexico, or Hawaii.
13:30At Delta, we love to fly, and it shows.
13:33You'll enjoy a week's stay at the Walt Disney World Dolphin.
13:37Located in the heart of the Epcot resort area,
13:39the hotel is conveniently connected by waterway or walkway to Epcot Center and the Disney MGM Studios theme park.
13:47$9,992.
13:49Wow.
13:50That's quite a prize.
13:51That'll make a big difference in the score, too.
13:52And there it is on the wheel, and here's the next puzzle.
13:55Category is Thing.
13:57It's round four.
13:58George, spin it.
13:59Come on, George.
14:04Go, go, go, go, go.
14:07Oh, boy.
14:08Steve.

14:46No, there's no S.
14:47George, try it again.
14:56$350.
14:57N.
14:58One N, uh-huh.
15:04$900.
15:05D.
15:06And there's one D.
15:10I'd like to buy a valve.
15:11Okay.
15:12A.
15:13There are two A's, uh-huh.
15:17Spin.
15:30$1,000.
15:31A.
15:33$600.
15:34M.
15:35Do we have an M?
15:36We do.
15:37And you're up to $1,600.
15:40I'd like to buy a valve.
15:41All right.
15:42E.
15:43Huh?
15:44One E.
15:48I'll buy another valve.
15:49Okay.
15:50I.
15:51And there are a couple of I's.
15:52Yep.
15:53All right, George, still have $1,100 after that vowel buying.
15:56Can I spin?
16:03$500.
16:04L.
16:05Yes, two L's.
16:06You have $2,100.
16:08No vowels left, so spin or solve, that's the situation.
16:11Um, I'll spin.
16:20$200.
16:21F.
16:22Yes.
16:27I'll spin again.
16:32$350.
16:33G.
16:34No, no G.
16:35Steve, it's your turn.
16:36$550.
16:37An H.
16:38Mm-hmm, one H.
16:39$1,100.
16:40But that sound means time is running short, so I'm going to give the wheel a final spin.
16:41I'll spin.

17:04You have five seconds to solve it.
17:05Vowels worth nothing.
17:06Consonants worth $400 apiece.
17:07Thing is the category.

17:25Steve, you're going to Bonus Land again.
17:27Well, you're all to be congratulated.
17:28Whatever happened here today, it's been a good week.
17:29In fact, George, you have an extra $2,000
17:30to add to your winnings, and good luck to you.
17:31Nice to have you along.
17:32Matt, nothing today, but you had a good time earlier in the week,
17:33and we enjoyed having you.
17:34Good luck to you, too.
17:35You, too.
17:36All right, we're going to take a break.
17:37Steve, still two great prizes left.
17:38We have the Motorhome, and we have that Colorado Ski Vacation.
17:39I'm sure you'd settle for either one of those.
17:40Yes.
17:41Yeah.
17:42All right.
17:43We'll be back.
17:44See if you can win one.
17:45Stay there.
17:46$7,300.
17:47Steve, you're going to Bonus Land again.
17:48See if you can win another.
17:57Nice going.
18:02Okay, is that your whole total for the week there?
18:03That's very nice.
18:04$44,450 cash and prizes.
18:07So whatever happens here, it's been a good week.
18:09But we'd like you to win another prize.
18:11I mentioned that either the H or the E,
18:13they're either the Motorhome or the Ski Trip,
18:15so grab the one that feels lucky to you.
18:17I'll take the H.
18:18All right.
18:19And I'll take charge of that, and you come on back up here,
18:21and let's get to the puzzle.
18:22Place is the category.
18:23R, S, T, L, N, E.
18:24The magical letters we'll start you with.
18:27And as always, we ask our audience to be very quiet, please.
18:32All right.
18:33We need three more consonants and one more vowel.
18:36C.
18:37Yeah.
18:38H.
18:39Yeah.
18:40G.
18:41Yeah.
18:42I.
18:43Uh-huh.
18:44Okay.
18:45Sure.
18:46Well, let's go through the motions here.
18:47Again, it's very important.
18:48We can't hear it from anyone else but Steve.
18:51Shh.
