Round 1: BEFORE & AFTER
She initially calls a $700 T, two E’s, two $650 R’s and four A’s before she says S for sorry. Second, David calls out a $650 N, buys the I and O singles to clean out the vowels, but then BANKRUPTs near $650 to lose 150 bucks. Third, Miranda captures a $5K L pair, a FP C, a $700 T, but nothing more w/ P. Monica resumes her play w/ a $1,300 pair of M’s, a $550 K, a $700 X, but then the other normal BANKRUPT to rid her of $4,050. After David says D for dud, Miranda lights up the $800 G and a $600 B to leave only one letter unexposed…

Mystery Round: HEADLINE
David grabs that 1/2 CAR near the orange $900 right away w/ two T’s, buys six E’s, but then LaTs out. Second, Miranda spots a $7K pair of R’s, buys five O’s, but then loses the remaining $6,750 to the BANKRUPT near $650. Third for Monica are an $1,800 N pair, a $1,300 F couple, but then the same BANKRUPT to give back $3,100. David next picks up the other 1/2 CAR w/ two S’s, and lights up a B while on the MW near the orange $650; no way is he risking the whole Fiesta and $1,750 (that’s the BANKRUPT one). But after a $600 H, he makes a CRITICAL VOWEL PURCHASE of A to likely throw away $18,065 cash & car. Miranda then tapes the double P’s for $1,300 and a $500 L…

PP/Express Round: PHRASE
Miranda instantly gets the MDW w/ a T, but an R call stops her just as quick. Monica secondly lights up a $1,300 N pair, buys three O’s, but the BANKRUPT near $650 strikes her again to the tune of $1,050. David thirdly runs into the other normal one. Miranda next finds a $1,950 S trio, buys an I, but the LaT nails her. Monica then digs up a $900 H, a $500 G, a $700 D, an E, and a TD L before we see this…

MY EP. RATING: 5
not a great show, thanks to david blow it with 1/2 car chance & miranda blow it w/ million chance.
once again, mistake from S-U, when she could've chosen the B's instead M.(at least she won)
this BR, she could've won BR….. but nope…..(yeah, this BR needed W or I, but enough to won this setup)
Like S29, this theme BR shutout alert, I hope avoided BR skunked.
ep.rating : 5.5(at least two player are better winning)

Bonus Round Comments:
Ouch! Miranda was so close to solve this puzzle! GPHO means no help on the bottom word dooms! G and O was good, but Not P and H.. Letter V and W would helped out. GVWO should have major help. After 4 episodes $33K envelope has found, but it's a fourth losing streaks in a row!
Looks like Harry just prepared the harder puzzles to save the budget!!
That's really shame, Harry! Well, I hope that Friday night won't lose the bonus puzzle! So far, only $140K total this week was given away…

This episode was pretty sloppy, but we've seen a bunch of tight matches in the past couple of weeks.

If David had flipped the Mystery Wedge, he would have set a likely new record for the most lost in cash and prizes due to the Mystery flip, but still he would have lost the car anyway due to the A dud.
