Jackpot Round - PHRASE
A limousine reveals the maingame categories for this week.
Christy starts with a T for $1,000 worth of Swan Chocolates. Shortly, however, she hits LAT. Next, Alicia misses with a D. Matt and Christy call back-to-back duds of S and L, respectively. Alicia then picks up the Wild Card with an R, but promptly gives it back to the MDW's left-side BANKRUPT. Matt then lands on the Jackpot and lights up the C, but he can't make the $8,850 Jackpot solve. After filling in a few more letters, the board reads...
