Peter is the winner! He's the backstage draw winner, that is. He'll be going first this round and his first spin is... Lose a Turn. Then just like Peter, Amanda LATs too.

Let's liven things up now, there's a $3,500 wedge on the wheel this time and the category is Title.



Debby will start and she puts up a lot of letters before her N call on the blue $250 ends up a dud. She decides to use her Free Spin. However, that turns out to be a bad move since she hits Bankrupt right after to lose $3,650. Peter's luck is... not improving, he hits Lose a Turn. Amanda calls a few more letters...

Secondly and lastly, there's a sivery $5,000 wedge on this wheel! It's Round 4, so Peter will start and he has a... Phrase... to work with.



Peter calls the N and R, but he buys a dud A to lose his turn. Amanda starts to spin and buy, along the way she calls a $5,000 D!

Well, Amanda won te game with $11,050 in cash and now she has the chance to win one of these five Bonus Round prizes!



They are all concealed somewhere... most likely in these five cards.



Amanda wants the H card, so that's what she's playing for. Thing is tonight's Bonus puzzle's category.



Here comes a serving of RSTLNE.

That's... very little help. Still, it's doable, she might figure it out, but can she?



No she doesn't. She had JUICE, but she needed that first word to win...
