Pat plugs the prize for whoever wins the main game on Friday. It's a Busch Gardens holiday starting in Williamsburg with a stay at Kingsmill Resort; followed by Tampa Bay with coasters, African plains, and SeaWorld; and we'll throw in $6,000 in spendable cash, for a total value of $14,206!
But with a plug and everything, this show took longer than we hoped. Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth...$500 a piece. David starts!
