After many bad breaks in this round, including Clayton hitting a bankrupt with $500 & the "CRYSTAL" prize (he did use his Free Spin right away, but he called an incorrect letter right after that happened), and Jennifer making an unsuccessful solve with $3,750 on the line (she said "TEXAS MILLIONAIRE ROSS PEROT"), Jude solved the puzzle TEXAS BILLIONAIRE ROSS PEROT for $650 and the "RUG" prize. This puzzle included a $1K Bonus Question from Charlie O'Donnell: "How did he [Ross Perot] make his money?" Jude's guess was "From Real Estate," which was incorrect. The correct answer was "From the Computer Industry." The game ended right when that happened.
Final scores:
Clayton: $3,600
Jennifer: $3,800
Jude: $7,630
The bonus round prizes include a car, a Music Room package, a trip to Singapore, a precious metals collection, and the usual $25K cash.
