We should've offered a trip down under after that, but you'll have to settle for a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a French hot air balloon enamel and jeweled pin (labeled PIN) worth $4,500.
Sure, that boost from the $2,500 space could weigh Peggy down, but it's a sacrifice you sometimes have to make.

In the post-game chat, Vanna says that the duo was just talking about hair. Men and women talk about different things. She thinks Pat talks about football, tools, and cars. Pat hears that women think it's romantic to die together, even if in a car accident or something like that. Pat wants to get to the bottom of the differences between men and women.
