Time for Angela to play again, as we have another puzzle.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500, and Victoria could become a champion if she hits it!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Guess what? Rob will give the last spin of the challenge! Consonants are worth 595.
Teena: S (DUD!)
Angela: H (595)
Angela quickly solves ONE-HIT WONDER. Even with Teena's wrong letter, Angela missed it by 105.
