SLOGAN

Pat solves WHEN YOU'RE HERE YOU'RE FAMILY. He doesn't have to touch the Wheel for a $3,000 bonus. He just needs to match the slogan.

Pat says Holiday Inn, which suits the company, but it actually belongs to Olive Garden. "That's what I said!" (Jokingly.)

"You know, we rarely get someone try to cheat so blatantly. I almost admire that!"

Steve	Pat	Lawanda
$8,150	$1,600

No cheating here! You'll have to work hard for this prize! Spin for a 5-day holiday in Acapulco (labeled MEXICO) worth $4,300.

It feels like you have to cheat to hit the one-third $10,000 space, but it can be done.

Pat solves TICKETBUYERS and becomes our big winner!

BONUS ROUND:

Not quite a "zero" before, but he's a hero now! Pat's gonna play for one of...

Ford Escape

2001 Acura CL (over $28,000)

Volvo C70 CV convertible (over $44,000)

"The cash" ($25,000 in two envelopes!)

To finish the week, Pat will take the middle E. We've got one more puzzle for him:

He quickly solves BRASILIA...not even knowing where it is!

What's important is that he finishes with the $25,000! Pat leaves with a total of $37,700 in cash!

In the post-game, host Pat calls in contestant Pat, as he was bitter about waiting in line for 3 hours. Some years ago, he was trying to get an autograph in Tampa, Florida. He waited, and he never got it done. Finally, he gets an autograph "To Pat, from Vanna White"...and Vanna uses the host's back to write on a photo of herself.

..........

Next time...we've got 100,000 reasons to celebrate!

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.
