Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Early on, Tracy lights up the R's on the MW next to the MDW, but she doesn't risk $1,350 (that was the $10K one). Later, she lands on FP and fills in the I. But after filling in most of this puzzle, she hits LAT to leave $4,800 sitting there. Towards the end, Rachel lands on the same MW, fills in the D, and risks $1,450 to get the $10K! At this point...
D A _ / C A R E
C E N T E R
O F / T H E
U N I V E R S E
...she solves DAY CARE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE for $11,450!

Round 4 - AROUND THE HOUSE

Category: PHRASE
This big puzzle starts out as...

_ / _ P P R E C _ _ T E

If I were on this show and won something in the Bonus Round, I would say I APPRECIATE THE OFFER, and that's what Rachel says for a $30,000 win! She leaves with an all-cash total of $53,500!
