Previously, on Wheel of Fortune, Jade Hanson won the game with $18,160 in cash and a trip to Antigua. However, she doesn't get a hold on a BAGGY UNIFORM (What Are You Wearing?, DBCAM), so she doesn't get the $38,000. How will these contestants fare? We'll see in a moment.

CHMI:

_ / _ _ C _ E T

She first says PICKING A POCKET and BAKING A and gets this close with BUYING A LOCKET. She won't be BUYING A JACKET with another $38,000 and the category's now 0-7 in Bonusland this season. End total: $28,250 cash & trip.

Closing Chat: About that PICKING A POCKET guess...Vanna's never been to jail before. Pat's probably thinking of the wrong person.
