FEATURED TRIP: Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Florida worth $5,500
Round 1: OCCUPATION
Shari’s first letters of the night are two $600 R’s, two T’s for the 1/2 CAR near $300, two E’s, four $2,500 C’s (a null cycle occurred before she chose that) and two A’s. The board at this point…
C _ _ _ E R C _ A _
A R C _ _ T E C T
She solves COMMERCIAL ARCHITECT for $11,700 — TECHNICAL PR.
Mystery Round: SAME NAME
Now getting a chance to spin, Ryan calls up two T’s and R at $900 a pop, a single E, an $800 S, an A buy, and N for nothing. Second, Jane spots three P’s while on the MW next to LaT. She gambles…it’s $10K…
P _ _ E R / &
P _ T A T _

…but she’s gonna have to give it right back, because she blows the solve w/ PAPER & POTATO CHIPS. Shari then solves POKER & POTATO CHIPS for the house minimum.
SOLE DUD: N (Ryan)
SOLE DQ: Jane’s blown solve
Jane: ZERO/Shari: $14,700 1/2 CAR/Ryan: $1K
PP/Express Round: PHRASE
Trying to redeem herself, Jane begins w/ three $350 T’s and two H’s for the same 1/2 CAR. After vowel purchases of two E’s and O, she takes two $400 N’s but then the sole dud vowel of U. Second in line, Shari locates a $450 J, two I’s and a Y for the MDW, followed by an $800 D, the last vowel of two A’s, but then the LaT to likely cost her at least $1,550 and that MDW. Ryan next wants a $300 G but then gets roadblocked by the R while on the Fab gift tag. Jane then spins once for a $900 B…
