Jackpot Round: THING 

Meagan first picks up the MDW w/ two T’s, but the house is gonna have to take it right back b/c she’s BANKRUPTED near the WC. Second, Doris strikes out w/ R. Third, Jared puts up three S’s for $900, buys an E, but then loses the $650 remainder to the same BANKRUPT. Returning to Meagan who calls up a $300 M and an A, but the other normal BANKRUPT snatches her $50 bill. Doris follows w/ a $550 T, three I’s and O’s to clean out the vowels, two N’s for the blue 1/2 KIA, twin N’s for $600, and a $900 pair of L’s. The board…

Mystery Round: SAME NAME 

Doris first says a T while on the MW near the MDW and surprisingly takes the money for it (not too terrible, because that’s the BANKRUPT one). Next up are four E’s and three A’s, three R’s for another $2,700, and an I buy, but she ends up BANKRUPTING anyway near the WC to lose $2,950 and her plate. Jared’s second in line w/ an F and three L’s at $600 a pop (that’s next to that same BANKRUPT), and the last vowel of O, followed by an $1,800 trio of N’s, and two G’s while on the other MW…but he ends up cashing out.

Down Doris’ road third are two S’s for $1,100, four O’s, the I to start this board, three P’s for $900 more, and a FP E to clean out the vowels.. All of that’s followed by three singles in H, L and M ($450, $500 and $400, respectively) and she’s now facing…

Mystery Round: WAYD? 

Justin instantly gets his second 1/2 KIA from the same spot w/ three N’s, three I’s, but then the LaT. Second, Brian BANKRUPTS the same way Lou did in the last round. That lady’s third in line w/ two G’s for the MW near the MDW and she turns down the $2K offer for…her second BANKRUPT this game. Back to Justin who buys an O, plugs in two $300 C’s, but then hits the other normal BANKRUPT to let $16,600 cash & Soul disappear. Brian then puts up four T’s for the NYC trip and two H’s for $1,600 in spending money…

Round 4: AROUND THE HOUSE

First for him are two L’s for $900, three E’s, but then his second LaT of the evening. Brian secondly BANKRUPTs next to the old WC spot, his third of the game. Going down Lou’s path third are a $1K pair of T’s, an A, and her second LaT as well. Back to Justin who says $2,700 worth of three R’s and triple O’s…

_ _ _ _ E R _ A L

Round 5: PHRASE

Big Brian gets going w/ a $300 T and N, but his next call of L stops him. Second in Lou’s favor are a $600 S, two U’s, but then a baffling call of J (she was thinking JUST). Following Justin’s second BANKRUPT of the game next to the vacant WC spot, Brian puts up three M’s for $1,500 and we go into S-U Mode w/ the following…

_ _ U / M U S T / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / M _ / M _ N _

…and the consonants left over are worth $1,350 each. Two D’s come from his mouth next…

_ _ U / M U S T / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ D / M _ / M _ N D

…but he has nothing for $4,800 and the win. Lou’s next w/ two Y’s…

Y _ U / M U S T / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ D / M Y / M _ N D

…same negative result.

Justin: I
Brian: 2 E’s

Y _ U / M U S T / _ _ _E

Brian draws another blank. Lou thinks she’s got it after calling the R…

Y _ U / M U S T / _ _ _ E
R E _ D / M Y / M I N D

…still nothing; ugh. Justin then puts up the H…

Y _ U / M U S T / H _ _ E

…yet again, nothing. Does Brian finally end this nightmare after a V call…

Y _ U / M U S T / H _ V E

She wastes her first spin b/c of the MDW’s right side. Second, Ryne says an automatic dud of T. Third, Brittany calls up two R’s for $,1800, buys an E, but then LOSES A TURN. Touwanna restarts w/ a $500 B and two Y’s for another $800, but the BANKRUPT near the WC gets her to the tune of $1,300. Ryne next FPs the rest of the vowel dept (A, two O’s, and two I’s), and hits that wedge two more times to call up three N’s and a C. We now have…

Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER

The man starts w/ a $1,200 pair of N’s, five E’s, two O’s, five T’s for $17,500, and a U buy, but next is a possibly fatal purchase in the sole dud vowel of A. Brittany secondly collects $4K worth of four H’s while on the MW near the MDW (that was the $10K one, however) and buys the three I’s to clean out the vowels before getting KOed out of $3,750 by the same normal BANKRUPT. Over to Touwanna who picks up the green 1/2 KIA w/ three W’s, only to give that and the $1,500 right back to the other MDW BANKRUPT; that’s her third one of the game. Ryne can capitalize by solving the following…

Third, Ryne inserts a $600 pair of T’s and two E’s, but the LaT strikes. Brittany next runs into the other normal BANKRUPT, which is her second of the game. Touwanna tries again w/ an N for the Yankee Candle gift package, a $300 L, but then the sole dud vowel of I. Ryne’s next picks are two A’s, the SL of six C’s for another $2,100, four O’s, but then comes LaT again. Brittany then lights up a $450 H and the last vowel of two U’s…

_ A _ _ T _ _ E

…and the FS is set at $1,500. Touwanna later calls up four H’s…
