Round 2 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, the Bungarz sisters pick up the Beaches trip with an S. But they buy the only bad vowel (A) to leave at least $15,400 in cash and trips sitting there. Second, the Mandacs pick up the Wild Card with an H. Shortly, however, they BANKRUPT the normal way (their second of the night) to lose $850 and the WC. As for the Schers...
I / W I S H / I T
W _ _ _ _ / _ E _ E _

...they could very well say "I WISH IT WOULD NEVER END" on their $15,000 trip to the Sandals Grand Resort & Spa in ANTIGUA!

_ E L _ _ / T _ E
S _ R _ _ C E
Unfortunately, they say the complete opposite (ABOVE THE SURFACE) of the correct solution, meaning they won't be getting this prize hidden BELOW THE SURFACE -- $35,000. That sends them home with $22,000 in cash and trips.
