Round 4

THING

DING DING! DING DING!

Now Pat must get himself in motion with a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Pam starts!

Pam starts with INTRO, then after asking if she can start over, she solves ENTRY-LEVEL POSITION just before the buzzer.

Paula	Pam	Cory
$7,500	$17,650

Not even that last puzzle could get Cory off the ground. He's leaving with the $500 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Time to finish this off! Pam has a chance to take home one of these prizes:

Infiniti G35 Coupe

BMW X5 SUV
Entry-level cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or an executive prize! ($100,000!)

Pam has her husband and children in the audience!

We already know how she can spin one Wheel, but how about the smaller one? She hits the comma, and there's one more puzzle to solve:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

DMGA does a little more for her.

Not enough though. She says SURFING FAD and something MAD, but she cannot solve SCOURING PAD...

...and we must scrub away the $50,000. Pam goes home with $17,650 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Vanna thinks about the Round 1 puzzle. She's never been to the Colosseum but has always wanted to go. Pat has been there, and what struck him most about it is that it's very old.

But Vanna actually walks around and touches things when she tours, except when things are roped off.
