Mystery Round: FUN & GAMES
Zeb starts her run w/ a $1,400 T pair, two O’s, an $800 H, and an S on the MW near $650 before she risks $1,950…$$$. But after buying three E’s, two U’s and A, she BANKRUPTs near $650 to flush away $11,200. After Ani spins the other normal BANKRUPT, Chris fills in a $500 R, a $650 P, two I’s, a $500 N, a G for the Pajamagram gift tag, an M for the WC, and a $900 C. The near-complete board…

He goes for PEOPLE.
$100K Bonus Round
His parents are Lisa and Vinny, and we’ve landed on my spot of the M in AMERICA’S for the other time this week. Think of an early S35 puzzle for this one (and you need to change the letters in the last word)…
_ / _ R _ _ _
_ _ / _ _ _ S
MDHI and K…result in the other WIPEOUT this week and we unsurprisingly get SKUNKED for the first time this season (also the third time on this particular theme week we know of). A GROUP OF BOYS will drive off in the RAV4 instead of him.
