Brian solves ? MOUNTAINS ? BALBOA ? AND BULLWINKLE to keep the Hang Ten prize. After a rough round, a $2,000 bonus would be really good right now. Just fill in the blank!

In the post-game, Pat and Vanna wonder about the bad luck on the Wheel, and Pat thinks this studio was built on an ancient burial ground. An exorcist will be in tonight.
