Patrick only got an A out of his letters, even though he had a Wild Card. I felt the first word
_ A S 🟪 _ _ T H _ N 🟪 H _ S 🟪 G _ A S _
and the last word would follow, but after trying a rhyming trademarked name there, he moved on to the last word without success. He lost out on an extra $39,000. Pat wasn’t feeling too bad about it though– Patrick picked up over $50K in the main game. That’s quite a haul.

On Jeopardy: $24,999

Joya-Dean added one D, one H and two I’s to her bonus puzzle. Ordinarily, what we probably want to do
_ S 🟪 T H _ 🟪 C _ M P L _ T _ 🟪 _ P P _ S _ T _
of this solution. So while the first word was practically spelled out for Joya-Dean, she couldn’t figure out what the last word was, at least not in 10 seconds. The lost bonus prize was $50,000. Joya-Dean still won over $40 grand, in a continuing pattern of big payouts before the bonus round.

Caleb only got an H out of his letters and that came from his Wild Card. Unfortunately, his guess for the first word began with one of his wrong choices. Even so, it was

Caleb didn’t notice that or he would have changed gears and won that extra $39,000.

in these situations. Avey gave him the solution immediately and Pat revealed another MINI Cooper worth $36,195 to add to the $39,800 she already won.
