O S C A R
N I _ _ _

Christina beats Tim to the punch with THEATER USHER; she's two for two so far.
L.A. TRIP ON THE WHEEL: to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Beverly Hills worth $5,500
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Christina immediately BANKRUPTS. Victoria picks up the Ricardo Luggage gift tag with four T's. Much later, she fills in the L on Jackpot, but she is unable to make the $7,500 solve. Two spins later, she faces this...
T H E R E ' S
P L E N T _ / _ _ R E
W H E R E / T H A T
_ A _ E / _ R _ _
She solves THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM for $7,500 cash and gift tag.

Round 2 - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Victoria lights up two E's on FP. She next picks up the Wild Card with an S. She fills in most of the puzzle, but goofs with an M. Tim then BANKRUPTS while Christina fills in the D. The board now shows us this...
R I D I N G / T H E
B I G / _ A _ E S
After solving this puzzle for $300, she'll be RIDING THE BIG WAVES at the Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa in OAHU, HI worth $6,410; she's won $6,710 that round.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Tim does a bit of work, but he misses with an R on the L.A. trip. Christina BANKRUPTS to lose $50. Victoria then gives up the WC to the MDW's right side BANKRUPT. Tim next misses with an O on FP, and then again with M. Christina BANKRUPTS again for the third time this evening. Later, Victoria picks up $7,000 worth of two G's, but she then hits that same BANKRUPT she hit earlier in the round to forfeit $9,150. Ouch. Tim next lands on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT, and lights up the G's. He takes a $2,650 gamble...it's $10K! But he then BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to fork over $10,650! Darn.
Everybody has at least two BANKRUPTS apiece thus far. Christina lights up the L's...
