BONUS ROUND:

She terminates one puzzle, and she can terminate another. Her reward will be a car or cash up to $100,000.

She has her mother in the audience!

That reward is hidden somewhere in the Bonus Wheel, and her spin hits the 10,000's digit. It's her against this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

In this toughie, DPYA at least ends the first and last words.

PHRASE

She tries MONEY, FUNNY, FAMILY, FUZZY, and TUMMY. FUZZY might have worked, but does not solve COMFY AND COZY...

...and we must return the BMW Z4 back to its cozy spot in the Wheel. Her husband even has an X5, and they could've had matching cars.

Debbie is still happy with an all-cash total of $24,000.

In the post-game chat, Pat asks the audience if any dog owners give their dog pig ears. It's a thing that comes in a bag, and you give them to your dog. Pat just thought it was a funny name, but the ingredients...yeah.
