…only helps with the second word, and Wendy flubs it with YARD. After Pat nonsensically guesses MANGO LARD, Carolyn admits she doesn't play bingo, so out goes this BINGO CARD rewarding a MERCEDES C240. Final score: $19,350.
One more tidbit: Wendy said her family already has a Mercedes, so Pat tossed the envelope! 😂 She was fun to watch.
CHAT: Pat points out Vanna's mistakes and she yells, "Well, I missed one!" (Actually two.)
