Robin solves WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN.
Some good fortune is hiding behind that $5,000 space on the Wheel!

Can one letter pay off here? We'll see when Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $350 a piece. Robin begins!

Robin solves CANDELABRA, and she's the big winner!
BONUS ROUND:
