Pat mentions it's the third time that blue Bob has landed on the WEST COAST prize, as "scolded" by Pat. However, this is only the second time it is actually shown being hit. It is possible that the second hit was in Round 2, as there was a sudden change in the applause, and yellow Bob's spin for the W was not consistent with his pattern. Round 4 is unlikely, as Tara would not have been able to hit the "first" BANKRUPT at that point or even from $800.

(The bell goes off after blue Bob's last spin.)
With what's going on, Pat really should give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
Wow, it's contagious! Still, Pat will spin again, and consonants are worth... $700 a piece.
