PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: trip to the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Springs worth $5,165
Jackpot Round - THING
Early on, Sarah cashes in $5,000 with two S's. A little later, she picks up the Swan Chocolates gift tag with an F. She also picks up the Palm Springs getaway with an M. After a lot of work, she strikes out with the L to leave $13,015 cash and prizes on the table. Towards the end, Jennifer goofs with the H while on $2,500. Daniel then puts up the B, and the board now reads...
A N / I M P R E S S I V E

He didn't make AN IMPRESSIVE BODY OF WORK, but he gets the house minimum for that solve.

She DOESN'T have a HUGE EGO (she thought it was HAVE ECHO, HOPE ECO and HOME ECHO) to win the Liberty. That sends her home with $19,250 cash and trip.
She could have called the guaranteed V to keep her turn alive. Jennifer's H call made no sense, either.
