Jenna calls W on $300[/color] and H on $650[/color], then buys the O, only to hit Bankrupt on the next go-'round. Next, Alex makes a good first spin of $2500[/color], calling R on it… but he buys the only dud vowel, E.
Toni calls D on $300[/color], K on Wild Card/$500[/color], and B on $550[/color]. Her next spin is the ½ Car/$500[/color] next to the pink $900, but there's no M. It's Jenna who finishes off this round with a C on $300[/color]…

Jenna tries S on $350[/color], then buys the A. Next is T on $450[/color], followed by a purchase of E. After getting the N on $550[/color], she lands on the Mystery Wedge[/color] next to Lose a Turn. There is an R up there, so she flips it… and finds the $10,000 cash!
After buying I, she spins again for L on $900[/color] and buys the O. Her last stop is the ½ Car/$500[/color] next to the pink $900, and she picks it up with an H.

Alex hits the big one again, $3500[/color], and calls N. After buying I, E, and A, he nabs the ½ Car/$500[/color] next to the orange $300 and calls D. After that, he goes around to $700[/color] for the T, and takes care of the last two vowels, O and U. However, he ends up looking at a Bankrupt.
Toni lands on the other, now-useless ½ Car/$500[/color] tag and calls W. (Since the tags are now null and void, both she and Jenna hand in theirs at this point.) After that, it's P on $700[/color] and C on $800[/color]…

This spingle ticked me off even more than others because Jenna clearly knew what it was but only spun because she thought that was required whenever your turn starts, and solved for the lowest non-zero, no-vowels, pre-raised minimum.
We're getting better categories and puzzles in most retro BR's than recent years.
