Brian's choices for the Bonus Round are People, Phrase, and Thing. 

$100,000 Bonus Round: 

Brian has Nancy, Amora, Monica, and Elaine in the audience with him. 

Brian spins the Bonus Wheel, and lands on the first A in AMERICA'S. 

The category is PHRASE. 

RSTLNE gives us this: 

_ _ _ _ _  / _ N _

Brian's BR Picks: P H G O 

H _ PP _  / _ N _ 

_ O _ _ _ L 

Brian gets HAPPY AND, and while he'll be HAPPY AND JOYFUL for getting to be on the show, he probably won't be this after not being able to solve for the X1. 


Note: We are shown the Chile version of Wheel of Fortune at the end, just before the credits.
