Dud: L (Drexelle)
Bankrupt: Jason
Pre-Round 3 Scores:

Drexelle goes into a WALK-IN FREEZER to grab more money. And she almost tried to spin the wheel before the next puzzle was revealed - not so fast, lady!

Drexelle blows it with IRRESISTABLE BREATHE - how does that fit the bottom word?
Barb: B
_ R R E S _ S T _ B _ E
_ R _ E
Barb's IRRESISTABLE TRUE ain't any better and she also jokingly said IRRISISTABLE NOPE - I won't count the latter as a DQ.
Jason: 3 I's
Drexelle: F
Barb: L
I R R E S I S T A B L E

Her first non-made up guess (she had ENGLANDA, FLORINDA, and ORLANDA prior) of BOLIVIA right before the buzzer...is correct for $40,000 and a final total of $74,422 cash & prizes!
