…helps out with the last word. But regarding the first word, Tom's all over the place with TAKING (WITH THE IDEA), TONING, and TAMING. He's in pain because he was one letter off – while we were TOYING WITH THE IDEA of a Bonus Round win, he loses the VW. Final score: $28,950. Pat: "Is there a doctor in the house?"
CHAT: Vanna loved visiting Italy a few years back, but Pat noticed the gondola drivers were on their phones (possibly trading stocks), which took away from the romantic rides.
