Round 1: FOOD & DRINK

Her first call of T is no good while she’s on the gas cards (CONOCO logo used). Second, Kevin calls up two R’s for $1,200, five E’s, a $700 N, two O’s, and S for the S.F. trip, but then the sole dud vowel of I. Third, Diana takes a $600 H, two C’s to go to $1,900, two U’s, and three $700 B’s. On the menu is…

Mystery Round: SAME NAME

Kevin’s next chance for redemption starts w/ six N’s for $3,900, three A’s, two $650 D’s, six E’s and three I’s before he lights up an R while on the MW near LaT. He gambles the remaining $4,250…$$$. Unfortunately, he then BANKRUPTs near $3,500 to have $14,250 torn to pieces. Moving on to Diana who puts in four L’s for $2,400, two $3,500 T’s, three C’s for the 1/2 CAR near the pink $600, and three $900 G’s (almost landed on the other 1/2 CAR there)…

1/2 CAR holder Diana is gonna have to give up that plate right away to the BANKRUPT near $650. Second in Anita’s future are a $1,300 pair of N’s, an I, a $600 G, buys of E and two A’s, but then the MDW’s right side to forfeit $1,150. Third, Kevin spins up a $1K pair of L’s, a $900 P, a single U, but then the same MDW BANKRUPT to hand over $1,650. Diana then semi-spingles for a $900 M and the last vowel of O…

M O _ N I N G

A $700 N sends him on his way, followed by two I’s and A’s, but then his third BANKRUPT of the game (this one next to $650) to lose the 2 Benjamins. Second, Diana lights up a $600 G, but nothing more w/ an E buy. Third for Anita are a $1K pair of T’s, three FP R’s, the last vowel of O, and a $500 D…
