Round 1: Food & Drink
David duds with T on the Wild Card. Carol calls S on $900, but after buying A, she also strikes out with R on $450.
Jenny picks up the Sierra Trading gift tag with L, then hands onto $800 for D. She buys E and I, but the latter is nowhere in sight.
David nabs the last vowel, O, on Free Play. He then picks up the ½ Car next to the orange $300 with H, but has to give it right back to the Bankrupt next to $2500. Carol finishes us off by getting the other ½ Car (next to the pink $900) with W.

Mystery Round: Same Letter
Carol calls R on $600, then after a not-null cycle, picks up the Million Dollar Wedge with S. She calls M before spinning again, and is held to the letter on her next spin, which is the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. There is an M, and she decides to flip the wedge… and the $10,000 is on the back! Next, she spins $3500 for four C's. Time for some vowel buying: U, E, and O, but the last of those isn't up there.
Jenny picks off the last vowel, I, on Free Play. She goes for B on $900, returns to Free Play for P, and calls D on $900, but Lose a Turn cuts her off. David finishes off by getting the Las Vegas trip with H.

David also should have called the L's in R2 and not the H, but given the difference would have been only $500 from his decent winnings from just one turn, it didn't matter much.
Wheel, please use categories like this and Proper Name more often in the BR. There are lots of good puzzles from them, much better than "Adjective-Noun Things".
It would be cool to see Wheel do episodes from there, like, maybe next week?
Unfortunately, I'll have to say OUCH at her fatal vowel purchase. And I know David may have that Vegas trip, but there were 2 L's...
