DING DING! DING DING!
Before things get strange, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.

Tell me this isn't real... Christi never lit up her scoreboard. She may need more than just parting gifts.
An unused Free Spin wouldn't be good consolation at all.
BONUS ROUND:
Okay, maybe Judy's first round sealed her win after all. We find out (possibly for good luck) that she carries a very tiny Jeep with her, just a little bigger than her thumb.
Now she's going to win...
Oldsmobile Calais Supreme ($11,289)
All she needs to do is solve this puzzle...

Vanna talks about a couple who named their new baby girl after the famous letter turner. Pat notes the doctor would say "Here's Vanna!" after delivery.
