I'm sure we can do a heck of a lot of better than what happened last night -- and we better be, because Katie Cantrell is here to do Vanna's job tonight! Let's hope she and one of tonight's players perform their respective duties well, as we begin Day 4 of "Vacation of a Lifetime".

Tony immediately strikes out on the Wild Card with a T. Meghan then picks up the Italy trip with four N's. Towards the end, she picks up the Ritz Camera & Image gift tag with a P. She dominates...
P _ A _ I N G / A
N E W / S O N G / O N
_ _ / U _ U _ E _ E

Mystery Round - PHRASE
Meghan picks up the WC with an N. Two spins later, she lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. After calling a K, she declines a $5,000 gamble (that one had the $10,000, however). After a lot of work, she BANKRUPTS on the next spin to give up her money and the WC. Justina then decides to solve...
I T ' S / H A _ _ E _

Katie knows that IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS when you're up on stage, and Justina has earned the house minimum with that solve.
