Jackpot Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Jon misses with an S on his second spin. Next, Elyse goes BANKRUPT. Kim lights up four I's via FP, but she buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (A). Two spins later, Jon BANKRUPTS to give up $2,450. Elyse then picks up the Wild Card with an R, but she BANKRUPTS again to lose that as well as $1,000. After Kim fills in two more letters, the board reads...
