Volvo wagon (over $33,000)
Diamond watch ($12,500)
"The cash" ($25,000)
After saying hello to Vanna, Rob will take the L. Here comes our last puzzle of the night:

He guesses KERNEL, but he does not solve JOURNAL...
...so he can't write about a $25,000 win. Rob still has $23,150 in cash and is coming back.
In the post-game, Vanna can hardly believe that the $10,000 was won two nights in a row. It's hard to win!
