Mystery Round: Song Lyrics
Alletta Bankrupts right away (next to $650) to lose her tag. Joel picks up the Million Dollar Wedge with S, then finds a whopping seven T's on $900… only to strike out with a purchase of O. Biaze gets the H's on $650, buys E, calls B on $300, then buys I. It's then that she asks to solve…
S I _ _ _ _ / T H E
B E S T
B E T T E _ / T H _ _
_ _ _ / T H E / _ E S T
… but she starts to say SAVING THE BEST BETTER THAN… before trailing off. Buzz.
Alletta picks up the ½ Car next to pink $900 with R. (Note: In the first overhead shot, the Gift Tag over the pink $500 is crooked, but it's fixed by the time she actually picks up the tag.) After that, it's the M on $300.

This has probably happened more times in this season alone than in Seasons 26-29 combined!
Bad loss by her.
