"Is it...Shittake mushroom?" Asked Barbie
"Yes." Pat assured barbie's victory as Vanna lit up the puzzle.

With Barbie winning the first round (although not by much) Wakko had some catching up to do.
"Welcome back, folks! it's time for our jackpot round, in this round we have a jackpot space on the wheel and every time you land on a specific dollar amount, that amount is added to the jackpot, So a lot of money could be won here. We also have a prize, tell em Charlie!"
Then the big screen showed a special prize.
"It's a trip to the West Edmonton Mall, in Alberta, Canada! You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los angeles to Alberta, Canada for a week-long shopping spree in the west edmonton mall! Plus, Spending cash! A terrific prize worth $5,500!"
The audience and the contestants clapped.
"Alright, The category for this next round is thing." Pat announced as the jingle to signal the puzzle was ready played.

"And since Baloney started the first round, Wakko, you get to start this round!" Said Pat
"Ok, Pat!" Wakko reached over and spun the wheel. It landed on $500.
"Uh...Can I get an S?" asked Wakko
"Yep, there is one." Pat watched Vanna light up the board.

"What are you gonna do?" asked Pat
Wakko opted to spin the wheel again, this time giving it a good swing. And much to his delight, it landed on the prize wedge.
"Ok, Wakko, Let me have a letter."
"Um...Let's go with T." Said Wakko
"One T, Pick up that prize, that's worth $5,500."
Wakko began shaking with excitement as he picked up the $5,500 prize as Vanna lit up the letters. However, he had to solve the puzzle while still hanging onto the prize for him to win it.

"Um, Let's spin again." Said Wakko
Wakko Spun the wheel once again and this time landed on $900, a good spin by all means.
"Ok, Wakko, a letter please."
"I'll take an L if ya have one." Said Wakko
"We've got 3 L's for ya, But you can also take $2,700."
Wakko's score was adding up, as well as the jackpot round's total.
[ ] [ ][ ][ ] [L][ ][ ] [ ][ ] [ ][ ][L][L][S][ ][ ][T]
The jackpot amounted to 6,400 (It always started at 5,000 and would increase with every dollar amount hit) If Wakko could hit the jackpot spot and guess a letter, then guess the right answer to the puzzle, he could collect the jackpot, all cash. But landing on the jackpot spot wasn't going to be easy.
"I'll spin again." Said Wakko
Wakko spun again, and this time narrowly missed the bankrupt, and landed on $700.
"Get outta there!" Pat held his breath as the Rubber spike just barely got out of the black paint to land on the $700 mark.
"Phew! $700, Guess a letter, Wakko."
"OK! Is there a B?" asked Wakko
"Yep, there are some B's." Said Pat
"Where! Where! I don't like bees! They sting!" Baloney began freaking out
"Well ya shouldn't have gone sticking your hand into their hive for honey, it's not nice." Wakko taunted Baloney
"But I wanted the honey and I told the bees I was friendly!" Said Baloney
While Wakko and Baloney had their friendly banter, Vanna lit up a board that was looking even more suggestive than the last puzzle they had played.

"Oh my god, are you kidding me!?" Yakko said from the audience
"Vhat do you mean, Yakko? Vakko's doing very vell!" Dr. Scratchnsniff reassured Yakko
"No, it's that puzzle! look at the last word and try and tell me what you think it is! What kind of sick writer do we have writing this fanfic?"
Back down at the podiums, Wakko's Score had accumulated from 500$ on his first spin, adding $2,700 to make $3,200, and now another 2,100 to make $5,300, not to mention the 5,500 prize had had in his grasp. If he could win this, he could cause Barbie to panic.
"Ok, Wakko, you've got $5,300, What are you gonna do?" asked Pat
"I'm still not sure...Can I buy a vowel?"
"Sure you may, what vowel would you like?" asked Pat
"A U?" asked Wakko
"Sure, one U, that'll cost you $250." Said pat
[ ] [B][ ][ ] [L][ ][B] [ ][ ] [B][U][L][L][S][ ][ ][T]
"Ok...How about the I?"
"Sure, 2 I's" Said Pat
[ ] [B][I][ ] [L][ ][B] [ ][ ] [B][U][L][L][S][ ][I][T]
"Hey! I have 2 eyes!" Said Baloney, who then burst into song again to the tune of 'twinkle twinkle, little star.'
I have 2 very big eyes
I have 2 very big eyes
I Love my eyes so much, no doubt
even when a kid tried to poke them out..
Baloney was cut off by Pat.
"Thank you, Baloney, that's very nice of you...now, Wakko, You're at 4,800, What are ya gonna do now?" asked Pat
"I'll spin again, maybe hit that nice jackpot!" Wakko thought about the $7,100 jackpot that was available to him.
But as he spun, the wheel came closer, and closer...and closer to the jackpot spot! Wakko held his breath but then let it all out on a turn for the worse...The wheel stopped on Lose-a-Turn.
"Oh, no! I'm so sorry, Wakko, you've lost your turn!" Said Pat
Wakko sighed in disappointment.
"Well, Barbie, it's your turn now." Said Pat
"I'll end this one by solving the puzzle." Said Barbie
"Ok, Barbie's gonna solve the Puzzle..."
Then Yakko butted in.
"...right after our last commercial break...Hey, it's the last one, ok? So keep your shirt on."
