It is unclear how things were edited, but at one point, Teresa bought an incorrect vowel that was edited out. Jesse also laughs at the incorrect F, and Pat jokingly scolds him for it.

Jesse guesses words ending in CUT, and he also says FAUCET. He does not solve BOBCAT. "Just put it back."
We have to look, and he won't be taking the Explorer. Jesse leaves with a total of $21,223 in cash and prizes.
In the post-game, Vanna talks about prize shoots that are done on the road. She looks at all kinds of great prizes, but Pat never does it...though his cardboard twin does so.
