It comes down to CDVA...
...but bad luck finally caught up to her.
Actually...no. After guessing RAVEN, she successfully solves ROBIN!
Just for that, she has a 12-night Cruise along the Mediterranean to Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Spain; total value $25,628! Ainsley finishes with $39,228 and may be back on Friday!
Pat mentions that Wheel is Sony. How much is Sony worth? Maybe billions with everything they own. More importantly, we get a view of the audience, and two trash cans gathering water from a leaky roof. As long as the Walkman's stay day?
