Justin really needed that. He also needs to give the last spin of the day.
Final Spin: BANKRUPT
Justin: Shut up. 
Justin: Just make it $5,000, Pat. We got this. This is dark-sided.
Pat: Now, because it's a BANKRUPT, we're gonna ask you, and we loved your acting; but now, if you'll just spin it one more time, we won't accept a BANKRUPT. Go ahead.
Final Spin #2: Lose A Turn
Pat: Get ready to fall again, Justin! Go!
Justin: You're doing this on purpose at this point. I feel it.
Pat: You wanna try it again?
Justin: Yeah.
Final Spin #3 (-_-): $650

In the final segment, Vanna expresses how bad she felt for Justin with all those bad spins. He was such a good sport, and he had fun with it, and made fun of it. There's nothing you can do. It's Wheel of Fortune, and those things happen.
