Strange game sometimes, but Big Money is not that strange. The $3,500 space knows it's time for something good!

Robert solves VOLKSWAGEN'S BUG. That total might bug him, but an extra $500 bonus would help.
He doesn't know. We'll try Denise.
She got it! It's the Beetle. Somehow, she has more to show for it than Robert in this round.
Denise | Carol | Robert |
$950 | $8,400 |
Let's go big again with this prize: A Rosenthal Classic porcelain dinner service set, plus Oneida silverware and crystal stemware (labeled CHINA), totaling $8,823.
Robert has a good total...but we haven't even reached $2,000 in cash yet! Can the $5,000 space some to the rescue?

Spa with four-seasons greenhouse edition (over $46,000)
Sportscar (over $45,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
It's time to pick an envelope from our recently enhanced holder!
Robert takes ("Be careful! It's gonna ding!", says Pat) the W, and this puzzle stands in the way...

He guesses CORE, CORT, CORN, CORP, and CORG...followed by CORD after the buzzer. Somehow, he does not solve CORK...
...so he can't claim the spa (Pat suggests filling it 3/4 of the way as a compromise). Robert finishes with $9,400 in cash and art.
Pat and Vanna talk about the Wheel gala they recently had, and they show some videos of the event. We even see Charlie on the stage! Maybe next time, a clip of Vanna singing!
