Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER

Lydia first spins her way to a $700 T, an E, but then S for sorry. Second, Marcus calls out a $700 R, an I, and a $700 G before hitting the MDW’s right side to lose the $1,150 remainder. Third, Rebecca BANKRUPTs near $650. Lydia’s second turn sees her choosing an $800 H, but then A for awful. Following Marcus’ non-existing C call, Rebecca says an N for the WC, three O’s to clean out the vowels, and three $600 F’s (too bad this doesn’t give her the SL Bonus)

F R O _ E N
F O O _
F I G H T

…she’s the winner of this FROZEN FOOD FIGHT is her to bring her total to $8,600.

$100K Bonus Round

I hope Rebecca doesn’t need that WC right now as she lands on the I of AMERICA’S. BTW, she brought along her dad Dave and sister Brooke.

Category: PHRASE
She needs some serious help in that top word when we show her…

GDHO only adds…

_ _ _ _ _
T _ R N _ R O _ N D 

…the obvious — she can’t make a QUICK TURNAROUND without the I and C on top (she had BIG), so she’s the first QU- victim of the season and she also loses the Jeep Cherokee.
