I don't know if Jay is wearing an ANKLE BRACELET, but she has the right to start the next round. 

Round 4: Thing

_ _ _  / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Final Spin: $600

Note: I think there was a null cycle in this round, judging by the close-up of Pat at one point in the round. 

Jay: 2 T's

Kristen: 1 H

Rob: 1 R

Jay: 2 E's

Kristen: 1 N

Rob: No S

Jay: 2 C's

Kristen solving this puzzle was THE DECIDING FACTOR in order for her to win the game. 

BANKRUPT Trash: $2,300 and 1/2 Car
Lose A Turn hits: 1

Kristen's choices for the Bonus Round are Thing, Show Biz, and Place. 

$1,000,000 Bonus Round: 

Kristen has Shane, Eileen, John, and Patty in the audience with her. 

Kristen spins the Bonus Wheel, and lands on the I in AMERICA'S. 

The category is THING. 

RSTLNE gives us this: 

_ NN _ _ _ N _ 

_ _ _ _ ER 

Kristen's BR Picks: G B D A 

ANN _ _ _ NG 

B _ _ _ ER 

Kristen gets ANNOYING, but the ANNOYING BUZZER goes off before she can get the second word...





























































...and sadly, she loses out on $1,000,000. That's the second time this season the million has been lost, and the fifth time overall since the inception of the Million Dollar Wedge.
