But half isn't enough. She guesses CASCADE, and she does not solve CABBAGE...
...and she won't be chopping away at the $25,000. Michelle leaves with $15,312 in cash and trip.
In the post-game chat, Pat says he's still working on that thing. Vanna may be getting married, and he'd still like to see her get married on the show in Vegas. We'll fix up the chapel, lots of neon, and we'll be real classy. Pat will even put on an Elvis suit!
