Jackpot Round: Show Biz
Jeff spins $2500 right away, but there's no S. After that, Cheryl hits the Bankrupt on the left edge of the MDW. Wendy calls N on $650 and buys E before the Bankrupt next to $2500 takes away her remaining money.
Once again, Jeff hits $2500. This time, there are two T's, but no A. Cheryl tries R on $300 and buys O before the Bankrupt next to $650 stops her… before the Bankrupt next to $2500 gets both Wendy and Jeff. Cheryl fares much better, calling C on Jackpot…

Seriously, a Jackpot hit of all things (though very welcome. That was probably the biggest Jackpot reaction since S26) gets 3x more reaction than $5000, and hitting $3500 while already having $10K+ gets absolutely nothing?!
