Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV

Toyota Spyder (over $25,000)
Pamper yourself with cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or dive into the big one! ($100,000!)

He'll now give our Bonus Wheel a big spin, and he'll take the envelope from the U in BONUS. Can he continue his streak?

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

Lots up there, but CMPA doesn't do as much.

THING

He says A FRIENDLY FAVOR, A FRIENDLY WAVER, A FRIENDLY MAKER, A FRIENDLY BAKER, and A FRIENDLY TAKER. does not solve A FRIENDLY WAGER...

...and it's not so friendly to deny him the $25,000. B.J. leaves with $7,550 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna have a look at the Bonus Wheel. If he was one space over at the N in BONUS, it would've been the $100,000.
