…light up just the obvious, but she instantly pulls a COLORING BOOK out of thin air for $25,000! How in the world–? Final score: $41,989.
CHAT: Vanna just returned from her first trip to Italy (Rome, in particular), and we see photos of her the Colosseum – one of them features her without makeup. And Pat mistakenly says we gave away $269,494 this week (this week's total is actually $247,276, which … isn't bad).
