Folks, I have to apologize on my behalf for not listing out all the LaTs that occurred last episode. The reason I forgot to list them out was because the LaT was never hit even once in “My Test Recap”. With that being said, let’s move on…

PP/Express Round: PHRASE
Fabiana‘s possible comeback starts w/ a $700 N and an A, but then the LaT. Andrew calls up a $650 R, a whopping nine E’s, two $500 D’s, but then the BANKRUPT next to TD stops by to let $1,400 go to waste. Next, Cherrie spots a $1,200 pair of Y’s, two $650 L’s, a $1,300 K pair, but then the other normal BANKRUPT stops her in her tracks to say goodbye to $3,800 and the WC. Fabiana won’t take any chances…
