Joan tries to buy a fifth vowel, but Pat tells her there are none left.

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

(The bell went off just after Joan turned in her Free Spin. Pat wasn't sure what to do, but after talking with staff, Joan was allowed one more spin after that.)

Now we really need to speed this up, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece.

Scott: D ($1,500)
Sharon: C (x2) ($3,000)

Sharon solves ACCORDING TO HOYLE to become the big winner!

Remainder on a gift certificate (-$26)

Joan	Scott	Sharon
	$2,950	$3,950

If only it was worth the wait. A Free Spin wasn't enough, and now Joan leaves with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

That Final Spin made Sharon feel better! Now she's going to play for...

Dicker & Dicker full-length mink coat ($6,000)

(And yet, that looks like the mink coat from earlier, which was stated as $7,500.)

Sharon must solve one more puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PERSON

(At the puzzle board, Vanna wears the coat that could be won.)

Like everyone else, Sharon wants to try SRTNLE:

PERSON

She gets GENE, but she does not solve GENE WILDER. Sharon leaves with $3,950 in prizes.

Vanna really loves the mink coat and jewelry that she's wearing.
