Weldon solves ONE-HOUR PHOTO DEVELOPING to take the Surprise...a trip to Switzerland with rail tour and stay at Palace Hotel Luzern worth $10,026!
Pat says that before Weldon goes, it's important that he learns to yodel. He doesn't know yet, so Pat will teach him.
Pat: Knock knock!
Weldon: Who's there?
Pat: You're an old lady.
Weldon: You're an old lady who?
Pat: See? You just did it! It's amazing!

(Weldon started his spin, but then stopped. Pat said that since he started, he can finish before doing the Final Spin.)
After some weirdness, Pat will finally give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
And that's why Pat can't be nice. He'll try again, and consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece.

During the post-game, Pat and Vanna are in the motorhome, trying to get back for tomorrow's show. There will be a little extra mileage on his motorhome.
