Nelson compliments Pat on his suit, and Pat takes a moment to compare himself to Nelson. Yeah, it is a nice suit. He then asks Glen why he didn't call either of them about the dress code. It might just be that contestants are prohibited from looking better than the host. 
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

We didn't say anything about the prizes looking better than the host. What does Pat think about a Fred Joaillier "Little Lover" 18-karat gold and pearl pin (labeled PIN) worth $2,800?
We do have a rule against the $2,500 space and its superiors shining brighter than Vanna.

An unusual start before settling on YCMA...
...and it's time for her to start shaking again.
She whispers some possible names before solving ZORRO ...one second too late. But 11 seconds for her is about 9 American seconds, right? No?
That means she couldn't claim the precious metals. Kathy has $19,750 and one more game to play.
In the post-game chat, Pat asks if Vanna remembered Zorro. She did, but she doesn't remember the theme song...so Pat sings it himself. He'd sing longer, but he thinks people are asking him to stop.
