Tom Wopat drew #1 so he will start things off with $500 and a T, but there aren't any T's to show for.
Beverly Johnson, the first African-American to grace the cover of Vogue magazine (August 1974), flexes her muscles as she takes her first spin with $400 and a D, but there aren't any of those either.

$1450 accumulated thus far as George buys an O but we can't give him any as his score drops to $1200 but he tries to reach for the wheel as Pat stops him "No, you can't spin, your turn is over. Get your hands away from there" and Beverly playfully swats his hand away.
Tom goes again with $300 and an N, just the one N and $300 in the bank...
