Seth Edens: medical officer leaser on hospital campuses who’s also an Indianapolis Colts mascot from Louisville, KY (he should’ve been placed on the previous episode that had his team used as a puzzle)

Mystery Round: BEFORE AND AFTER
Seth BANKRUPTS right out of the gate near top dollar. Second, Collie picks up the 1/2 CAR next to $900 w/ three T’s, buys three E’s, but then says A for awful; that’s the only bad vowel of this puzzle. Third, Misty FPs twin I’s, sees a $900 H appear, buys the remaining vowels (three O’s and a U), and loses her remaining $400 to the other normal BANKRUPT. Back in control, Seth FPs an N, G and F, all giving him $1,500, but he then gets the same BANKRUPT as Misty. Collie inserts a $7K pair of S’s…
