Bong calls L on $900, then buys I, which happens to be the only vowel in the puzzle. He then calls Y and K on $700 and $800.

Back to Sheila, who tries S on $500 between $800 and $650, then buys O and U to clear the vowels. After B and Y on $900 and $800, she returns to $500 between $800 and $650 only to call an incorrect C.
