Round 2- BEFORE AND AFTER
Loray BANKRUPTS after starting with an R and four E's to lose $50. At the start of her second turn, she BANKRUPTS again. Gary then lights up an O via FP. He lands on said space three more in a row and uncovers a V, two N's, and a K. After buying the last vowel of U, here's what we have...
K E I T H

B I N D I N G S
& / B O O T S
After solving this puzzle for $4,150 and the MDW, he'll need some GOGGLES, POLES, BINDINGS & BOOTS while at The Essex in VERMONT worth $6,022; he wins $10,172 that round.

N _ _ T Y -
G R _ _ _ Y
We're getting down to the NITTY-GRITTY as Jennifer sweeps the Tossups for a new total of $7,000.
========
Round 4 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
After Jennifer starts with two N's, one I and an A, speed-up mode commences with the following...
_ _ N _ I N _ / A
_ _ _ _ _ _
Each of the remaining consonants are worth $1,900 each. Her next call is a G.
_ _ N _ I N G / A
_ _ _ _ _ _
She's way off with HANGING A BASKET, so she likely missed out on another $2,000. We later get to this...
R E N T I N G / A
T _ X E D _
Gary isn't RENTING A TUXEDO at this moment, but he just bought himself a spot in Bonusland with another $5,700!

DQ: Jennifer's missolve

Starting setup...
_ _ _ S E
_ E _
Gary goes with CDMO...
_ O _ S E
_ E _
He FALLS APART BIG TIME with HOUSE PET. It was HOUSE KEY...
...and he's the second $35,000 loser of the week. Also, he just dodged a big bullet -- he was one space off the million, which was under the M in AMERICA'S. That sends him packing with $17,922 cash and ski trip.
