She accidentally calls S third, but then it will be PCMO.
Wait, where's the Christmas spirit?
She thinks of BONE CHINA and FINE WINES, and she does not solve DUNE BUGGY...
...So the $30,000 remains a dream. Carol leaves with an all-cash total of $14,450.
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna talk about an anniversary. It's been 25 years since Pat Sajak took over for the show! Time flies! Pat's also feeling exhausted.
