From the Big Money club, we introduce the $3,500 space! It can easily get along with the Jackpot space.
Ed solves HELSINKI FINLAND.
It may look like Ed has already won, but we still have a $5,000 space and a bigger puzzle ahead!

WHO IS IT? |
Perfection! Ed solves STAR OF LAUGH-IN & THE FIRST WIVES CLUB. He feels like a star already, but he can still take $2,000 more for telling us who it is.
He guesses Rowan & Martin. That only covers half of it. The answer was Goldie Hawn.

PHRASE |
Ira solves SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. If only he and Jennifer could spend more time...
Jennifer | Ed | Ira |
$17,600 | $5,350 |
There's not much worse than being a Bankrupt magnet. Jennifer is left with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Ed's good second round gives him a trip to Bonus Land, and now he can win one of...
Trip to Rio de Janiero and party ($16,000)
Chevrolet (over $31,000)
Yacht cruise to Grenada (over $24,000)
Gold and silver package ($20,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)
Ed spends a little quality time with the envelopes, and he picks the middle E. Here's his final puzzle:

THING |
He'll try to fill in the rest with CMPA...
...and it does nothing.
But he didn't need anything! He instantly solves BUGLE, and he's the proud winner of a "Patdown"!
After that, he has won a Grenada cruise for 7 nights with The Moorings on a 76-foot luxury yacht, a prize totaling $24,915!
Ed finishes with $42,515 in cash and cruise, and he's probably gonna come back on Friday!
In the post-game, Vanna said that solve was impressive! Pat thought Ed was just going to stare in silence, but the first thing out of his mouth...you'll never know.
