WORLD CAPITAL ON THE WHEEL: $5,500 Irish getaway from Aer Lingus
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Amanda instantly picks up the Tiger GPS gift tag with four T's. Shortly after that, she misses with an S. Second, Mercedes says a $2,500 N and buys three O's, but she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side for a $2,250 loss. Robb then hits that same space as her.
Next, Amanda FPs a dud in A and BANKRUPTS next to top dollar to forfeit $1,950 cash and GT. Following a dud of M by Mercedes, Robb also BANKRUPTS next to $2,500. Back to Amanda who puts up an S and the remaining I's. Three more singles (including a $2,500 L) have been lit up...

Round 2 - FOOD AND DRINK (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Mercedes does a lot of work, but she buys the sole dud vowel of A. Right after that, Robb BANKRUPTS on the same side of the MDW; that's three BANKRUPTS so far for this man. Amanda banks $2,100 w/ three R's and an M...

...but she blows the solve with BEAN BURRITO SMOTHERED IN CHEESE. She will NOT be winning another $7,757 in cash and trip, as Mercedes then solves BEEF BURRITO SMOTHERED IN CHEESE for $2,250 and a trip to the Pueblo Bonito Hotel & Resort Emerald Bay in MAZATLAN worth $5,657. That puts her on the board w/ $7,907 in cash and trip.

Robb picks up the Wild Card with three T's. Later on, he picks up $3,500 with a P, but does NOT use his Wild Card at that point. After a lot of work, we have to buzz him for taking too long on his next decision. That will cost him $6,150. Amanda's in command...
