Maybe we'll have a pearl necklace as a prize later on? For now, you'll be trying for a HeadStart III IBM-compatible computer system (labeled COMPUTER) worth $3,790.
If prizes aren't your thing, you'll still want to try and hit the $2,500 space on the Wheel.

...which means no Switzerland trip for him. Vinny finishes with $5,000 and is coming back tomorrow.
In the post-game, Pat and Vanna mention that their offices have moved. Pat is curious what amenities are available.
