Round 1: Song Lyrics

Allyson and Barbara Jean dud with T and S on $650 and $300.

Lane calls E on Free Play. He calls R before spinning again, and is held to the call on $300 — good thing, since there is one up there. However, the A he buys is nowhere in sight.

Allyson Bankrupts next to $650. Barbara Jean calls C on $450 and buys I, then gets the Million Dollar Wedge with K. She tries to buy a vowel, but Pat stops her since she only has $200… so she spins again, but she can't get the Bali trip due to M being nowhere in sight.

Lane finds two quartets of letters: L on $900 and W on $400.
