Last time around, the students played; now it's the teachers' turn! Many changes are on tap for this MDS: The Turntable's design mimics that of the Big Doors with cascading dollar signs, there are brand-new podiums for the Showcase, and the audience curtains are blue. It's also Rich Fields' primetime debut as announcer, as well as Roger's first MDS as sole producer, having previously split duties with Phillip Wayne Rossi. School Days plays during the opening, return from commercials and closing, but the primetime consolation prize cue still plays during the CNAOS plugs.

WIPEOUT
This is the playing where Brandi, who is running the register, is frustrated because she cannot figure out how to key in 25 yams. Part of the reason is because the listings for each GP go up to 20, as some of you may have seen on a backstage photo of the game. Brandi says that the cash register doesn't go that high, but we all know that this is not exactly true, as we've seen outrageous totals in the past. Although the total does not show up on the register, Bob's line "well, it's over $21, I can tell you that", the foghorn and OVER light tell the story.

SHOWCASES
Top Winner: Debra
Runner-Up: Patricia

As there has not yet been a Million-Dollar Spin during the course of the show, the winner will get her shot at the big bucks, and it'll be either Debra or Patricia who gets it. Of course, all that depends on the final reveal, so let's see who wins!
ARP of Patricia's Showcase: $72,469 (Difference: $38,969)
ARP of Debra's Showcase: $102,430 (Difference: $44,430)
Patricia wins her Showcase, and takes home $75,615 in cash and prizes, but best of all, she will get a chance to win a million dollars on the Big Wheel!
MILLIN-DOLLAR SPIN
Patricia: .15
Just a touch too strong, but Patricia has some nice prizes to enjoy. Second show in a row that someone has overshot the dollar...
