She gets GO FOR, but she does not solve GO FOR BROKE, which reveals from bottom to top instead of top to bottom...
...and she was this close to the Blazer. Jacki leaves with $2,250 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat thinks about the puzzle CAP'N CRUNCH. Vanna actually made a startling confession that she eats that stuff. She's been calling it "Captain Crunch" for almost 40 years. Pat thinks the "Cap'n" is here.
