After staring with a T and three R's, Cathy goes BANKRUPT to give up $2,200. Matthew buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (E) while Sam strikes out with C.

Both players each have a pair of BANKRUPTS to their credit. Sam then lights up a $3,500 M, and wisely uses the WC to call four N's for $14,000 more!
