That's not so helpful at all, and the women take turns (Joanie goes first) guessing PUTTING ON HOLD, HOPING, GETTING ON GOLD, and HOPPING IN GOLD at the buzzer. They won't be BUYING IN BULK with $50,000, but $21,820 isn't bad.
CHAT: Pat wonders why Vanna buys in bulk. She doesn't want to take frequent trips to the store.
