PRIZE WEDGE: Beaches Resort of your choice

Round 1: EVENT

Her listing is made up of three $500 T’s, two E’s and A’s, two H’s for the Beaches wedge, a $650 R, but then S for sorry. Second, Tom calls up a $550 L, a $600 G, two I’s, a $700 N, but then F for flunk. Rebecca then puts up a $1K pair of C’s and two B’s for the eBags gift tag…

Mystery Round: SAME LETTER

Tom first rattles off an R for the 1/2 CAR near $900, three $500 S’s, six E’s, and the SL Bonus of three $650 D’s, but the LaT stops him in his tracks. Second, Rebecca digs up a $1,400 pair of T’s, buys two I’s, but she too gets LaT. Third, Amanda wastes a spin w/ the MDW’s right side. Tom next lights up triple L’s while on the MW near $650 and takes the money for ’em (the MW was the big one, however), but then loses another turn w/ N. Rebecca follows w/ the BANKRUPT near $650 to lose $1,150. After Amanda runs into the other normal one

Category: THING
The last letter is…

_ _ _ E

BDMA guarantees at least one letter…

A / B _ _

but she blows the last word w/ MAKE and MAZE. Because she didn’t make A BIG MOVE of going w/ the O, she’s the third straight $33K loser.
