BONUS ROUND:

If "last-minute" Vanessa felt that she'd run out of luck before the third round, she's feeling much better now! A trip to Bonus Land could score her one of these:

Mercury Mountaineer

2003 Lincoln Navigator 4x4

Last-minute cash ($25,000-$50,000)

Or relish this moment! ($100,000!)

She has her mother, her sister, and a friend in the audience!

Vanessa will show Pat how well she can spin the Bonus Wheel! Perhaps stopping on the dollar sign is a good sign. Here's our last-minute puzzle:

RSTLNE gives her:

She instantly solves CAMBRIDGE...

...and we're off to a great start with the Lincoln Navigator worth $55,875! Vanessa suddenly finishes with $68,075 in cash and car!

In the post-game chat, Pat asks Vanna to raise her right hand. "I promise...I'll bring in some video...of my cat chasing a ball...this week." Oh, it's something to look forward to, huh?
