Round 1: What Are You Doing?

Dana calls N on $650, buys I, and calls G on $900. After buying E and A, she calls R on $700, then buys O and U to clear the vowels. She then picks D and W on $700 and $900, but duds with T on $650.

Matthew hits Lose a Turn, so Pam gets to call S and L on $600 and $900 before dudding with M on $650. After that, Dana can't find an H on $700. Matthew fills in the last blanks with C on the France trip…
