AFter that, David calls M on $350, buys the last vowel of A… then he and Cari Bankrupt back to back. Zee tries S on $550, C on $800, and R on $550.

Mystery Round: The 80's
Zee stops at the Red Roof Inn Gift Tag and gets it with S. After buying I, she tries T on $450, buys E, calls N on $500, buys A, then gets the ½ Car tag next to the orange $300 with L. Her next turn is $600, but there's no W.
David tries X on $650, then he lands on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. He calls C and chooses not to flip it — good choice, as it concealed the Bankrupt. One last spin takes him to the North Carolina trip, which he picks up with B.

That is how "and" is officially used in the title, so it's nice to see them stay accurate even if they now hate using ampersands.
My guess: David - dud N around $550 / Cari - $0 Bankrupt between 900 & 650 / Zee - dud S around orange $300. Buzzer fail
