BONUS ROUND:
Gordon plays for the $25,000
OCCUPATION:
- - - - - - - - - -
Because the contestants frequently pick the RSTLNE for their letters (on both Nighttime & Daytime shows), Pat reveals that they're going to give those letters automatically...
- - - - - E E - E R
....and that they get to pick three additional consonants and one more vowel as Gordon picks CKD & A
- - - K K E E - E R
but the time limit is now 10 seconds and Gordon doesn't even hesitate with
B O O K K E E P E R
and with that $25,000, his grand total comes up to $31,900 as he's greeted by his sister, Cecilia and Pat asks Gordon if he likes the "new and improved" Bonus Round and he replies "Oh, I love it ! I love it !" Of course, he does.
Total Winnings:
Gordon: $31,900
Sharon: $1900
Amy: $0
