Tony says RACKET, and WHOLE RACKET, FALL RACKET, JAIL RACKET, but can't find a JACK RABBIT whizzing by with the $25,000.
Because this is the fourth time this week the $25,000 came up, to make sure WHEEL wasn't loaded with just cash, Pat decides to check the first E, which had the Jeep Cherokee.
Tony still departs with $14,500!
Pat Chat: Vanna notes that one of the contestants was in a tennis tournament called Savannah Banana. She claims in high school, everyone called her Vanna Banana. Pat claims to not have a rhyming nickname in high school but was called Stud Muffin. Pat feels embarrassed about it.
