Round 2 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Almost immediately, Tia and Craig BANKRUPT back-to-back (the former loses $1,100). At the start of his second turn, Craig FPs three A's, but then BANKRUPTS again. Jessica then picks up the 1/2 car plate between $450 and $300 with two K's (as of tonight, a player is awarded $500 each time a correct consonant appears on the board), but she misses with the P. Tia then calls for the R and we now have...
