$100,000 Bonus Round
Jeff has his friend Allie in the audience.
The Bonus Wheel lands on the M in GAME, and his puzzle is a Phrase:
_ / _ _ _ S E / _ N

M, C, G, and O (Pat nearly forgot to prompt for the vowel) don't give him much:
_ / _ _ _ S E / _ N
T _ E / _ C T _ O N
But it's enough to solve A PAUSE IN THE ACTION for $100,000! $116,830 is his end total!

TBH, the near lack of groans for Katrell losing the $10K bothered me more than the ruined $3500 hit (Pat tried hyping it to no avail). They weren't even enthused by Jeff's remark, only applauding because they were forced to.
