Mystery Round - FOOD AND DRINK
Late in the round, Chelesy lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the Million Dollar one and fittingly calls a C. She declines a $5,950 gamble (that one had the $10K, however). After filling in most of the puzzle, she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give up $5,700. That prompts Kristina to solve...
