Round 2 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
I think we have a historical first on our hands...one category has been the PP all week long!
Sean instantly picks up the Wild Card with three N's. He then fills in the O's while on FP. Much later, he hits FP again and lights up the B. After filling in the S's next, here's what we have...
_ U T T I N G / O N
A / N E W / _ A I R
O _ / S _ I / B O O T S
He solves this puzzle for $5,600, and he'll be PUTTING ON A NEW PAIR OF SKI BOOTS while at the Resort at Squaw Creek in LAKE TAHOE, CA worth $5,500. He wins $11,100 that round.

Mystery Round - SAME NAME
Andy does some work, but he BANKRUPTS and loses $2,150. A little later, Sean gets the same fate and gives up both the WC and $350. Kelly then lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. She fills in the M, and obviously goes for it...BANKRUPT. Andy then BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side, allowing Sean to go for the house minimum solve...
