Our apologies to Paul for that low total. Could we make up for it with a holiday at Epcot's Mexico Pavilion and stay at Villa Del Palmar Oceanfront Resort (labeled MEXICO) worth $2,578?
That's assuming a dream round thanks to the $2,500 space is just pie in the sky. But that could really happen!

Judy tries to spin again before picking up the MEXICO wedge, and a peg click can be heard.
Pat's not much better, walking over to pick up the wedge for hitting Lose A Turn before he just slumps over. "What a rotten human being I am."

Next thing we know, Charlie reads the wrong copy. Fortunately, he doesn't, and we can give away a Dawson Woodworks redwood products gazebo (labeled GAZEBO) worth $5,040.
We know you are tempted to pick up the $5,000 space, but Pat might tell us that "it's electrified".

BONUS ROUND:
Before Judy escapes to Mexico, she needs to win a bonus prize. It could be a shopping spree, a piano, a rail journey in Europe, or a convertible.
The envelopes remain in the studio, but Judy may still pick the H. The puzzle will disappear after this round:

She says FIREHOUSE, then BIREHOUSE, DIREHOUSE, GIREHOUSE, and WIREHOUSE, before finishing with WAREHOUSE. She does not solve BIRDHOUSE...
...and back in our warehouse goes the piano. Judy finishes with $3,378, and she will try again tomorrow.
