Jim does an impression: "Well, what can I say but...that we aim to please here, Pat." and it sounds like he's trying to start hosting himself. The impression is of John Wayne.

Halfway through, she whisper TEETOTALER but then shouts it out to keep the armoire! The buzzer briefly sounds after her answer, but that was a mistake as it wasn't even 15 seconds yet.
Kathy leaves with $11,305 in prizes! Pat says one thing you should never do on the show is whisper.
In the post-game, Pat thought it was spelled "teatotaler" with an A.
