13:23The wheel didn't get you that time, did it?
13:25I guess I'm asking if they want to go to these places,
13:27because one day they're going to say,
13:28no, I'm really kind of busy.
13:30Sarah, you have $9,450 and the lead at this point,

14:57just gives the answers to everybody.
14:59It's very nice, you know, it's a,
15:00I know, you know, it's always a temptation to yell it,
15:03but you didn't bring it up.
15:05That's okay, don't worry about it.
15:06We're going to put those things down.
15:07Everything's going to be fine.
15:09Phrase is the category for this next round.
15:11And Sarah, you got that last toss up.

16:45Hi, how are you doing?
16:46I'm good, how are you?
16:47You're doing okay.
16:47I'm good.
16:48Well, the wheel was giving you lots of trouble,
16:49but you overcame that and you ended up with $21,950.
16:53Pretty good deal.
16:55Stay right there.
16:57Gabby?
16:58First of all, thanks for your generosity.
17:00But on your own, you also won $2,000.
17:02You're a giving person.
17:03Thank you very much for doing this.
17:04Good to have you.
17:05Take care.
17:06Jonah, you did okay.
17:07$5,000.
17:08Good luck to you.
17:09It was great having you along as well.
17:10And what we're gonna do now is have you pick a category
17:13for the bonus round.
17:14Person, phrase, thing.
17:16Person.
17:17All right.
17:18Take a break and come back and see how she does.
17:22Well, here you are in bonus lands, Sarah.
17:23Congratulations.
17:24$21,950 richer.
17:27Give that wheel a good spin if you can.
17:29Go ahead.
17:31Whoa.
17:32Nicely done.
17:34There's $100,000 out there somewhere, you know.
17:37$40,000, lots in between.
17:39R.
17:41All right.
17:41I'm gonna take this A in America
17:43and you'll follow me, please.
17:45Right to that mark.
17:47Okay.
17:48Now you chose person as your category.
17:50R, S, T, L, N, E.
17:53Start you off with those letters.
17:58All right.
17:59Not a bad head start.
18:00Now, three more consonants, one more vowel.
18:04M.
18:05P.
18:08D.
18:10And a vowel.
18:11I.
18:13All right.
18:14You notice, Ben, it's just standing there
18:16and that's never a good sign.
18:18It means none of those letters you chose is in the puzzle.
18:21So, you know, just keep talking.
18:24Maybe the right thing will spill out as a person.
18:2610 seconds is a used letter board.
18:28Good luck.
18:29Butcher, catcher, watcher, fetcher.
18:38Ah, no.
18:40Nor do I, and I have the answer in my hand.
18:42YouTuber, oh.
18:44I would've said, no way you're gonna get that.
18:46I was trying to send you a B telepathically
18:48and it didn't work.
18:50Well, we couldn't give you the 40 grand.
18:51Wish we could have, but we gave her plenty here.
18:53$21,950, and she worked hard for it
18:57with those bankrupts and stuff.
18:59Thank you so much.
19:00Congratulations, good luck to you.
