Jackpot Round - SONG TITLE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Anais landed on LAT right off the bat. Brooke did most of the work before BANKRUPTING on the MDW's right side to lose $2,300. We got back to her immediately after the other players made their mistakes. She picked up the Wild Card with an N before striking out with the C. That allowed Tom to solve...

Mystery Round - FICTIONAL CHARACTER
Tom landed on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW twice in a row. After putting up two H's and three N's, he declined to risk $2,400 and $5,400, repsectively (good move; that's the BANKRUPT one). But after a lot of work, he BANKRUPTED on the other side of the MDW to forfeit $8,200. After Anais got her second LAT of the night, Brooke landed on the same MW Tom landed on twice before. She lit up a P and turned it over, costing her the WC. After that, Tom got his third BANKRUPT of the night via the MDW's right side. Anais then uncovered two G's...
