_ I N D E R E _ _ _ / &
_ R I N _ E
_ _ _ R _ I N _
She solves the fairy tale characters of CINDERELLA & PRINCE CHARMING for that wedge and $2,500. I heard her make a questionable pronunciation of the third word (PRIN-SA) but the judges accepted it.

The former loses the MDW while the latter has three BANKRUPTS to his credit so far. Furthermore, tonight's BR is played for up to $100,000. Shortly after that, Amelia gets the same thing and loses $4,650! Aargh!
Bevin's got control back...
