Judy & Diane solve JACK SPRAT COULD EAT NO FAT. At least it wasn't a Megaword, but there's still a $500 bonus! All they have to do is say the next line exactly.
Diane is correct! The line goes His wife could eat no lean.
Eric & Sheila | Tamara & Tiffany | Judy & Diane |
$2,050 |
We don't know what Charlie is eating, but all we need him to do is read copy for a holiday at the Rihga Royal Hotel in New York with tickets to the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular (labeled NEW YORK) worth $7,984.
Let's fatten up those lean wallets with the $2,500 space!

$10,534 |
Pat accidentally reads their total as $10,543. "I inverted the last two numbers, thereby giving them $9 more than which they were entitled, and therefore would've thrown off the entire bookkeeping system of Merv Griffin Enterprises, Sony/Tristar, and the whole megacomplex here."
All together now, we'll take a quick look at both the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces before the good times continue.

All three teams get a big box shaped like a Christmas tree and full of Perugina chocolates.
BONUS ROUND:
Time for one last Bonus Round before bedtime, and it could be one of two prizes: the silver dining service, or the $25,000 in cash.
Again, it's going to be the second E. The puzzle is going to be just as short as the time we have left.
