Round 2 - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Aaron gets off to a good start by picking up the trip (T) and cashing in on $3,500 (S). After some work, he purchases the only bad vowel of this puzzle (E) to leave $10,300 cash and trip for the moment. Rhonda next picks up the Sportations gift tag with two L's, but she repeats the A that was already on the board. Stephanie next BANKRUPTS, so Aaron gets himself a second chance. He does some more work, but he BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give back $11,000 cash and trip. Ouch. Soon enough, Rhonda lands on FP and becomes the first play ever to try and solve a puzzle while on that space. Here's what the board reads...
A / V I S I T / F R O M
L A _ _ / L U _ _
She's successful for $2,300 cash and gift tag, and she'll be getting A VISIT FROM LADY LUCK, who asks her to come to The Venetian in LAS VEGAS worth $5,510. Rhonda's on the board with $7,810 cash and prizes.

Mystery Round - SAME NAME
Rhonda immediately BANKRUPTS on the other side of the MDW. We get back to her almost immediately after back-to-back duds from the other players. Soon enough, she lands on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. After calling an L, she risks $2,300...and BANKRUPTS again. A little later, the dud vowel of E ends Aaron's turn for the second round in a row (and once again, the only bad vowel of this puzzle). Rhonda fails to pick up the Wild Card with a D. Stephanie next puts up the C, and the board reads...
G R A N O L A / &
