Jackpot Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Early on, Andrea picks up the Vegas trip with three R's and then the Wild Card w/ two T's. She cashes in $10,500 w/ three C's, but doesn't use the WC at that point. After a lot of work, she calls a major dud in P. Towards the end with the W and Y remaining, Willie squanders his turn w/ the D. That allows Sonia...

Pre-Round 3 Scores

Mystery Round - FICTIONAL FAMILY
Early on, Andrea cashes in $10,500 w/ three N's. This time, she wisely uses the WC and lights up the S. Later, she lands on the Mystery Wedge next to LAT and lights up the R's. No way is she taking the big risk (the $10K was on the back side). But after a lot of work, she HITS BANKRUPT ON THE VERY NEXT SPIN TO LOSE $20,450 AND THE MDW!!! DARN. After that unfortunate moment, Willie gets $7,000 w/ the D's...

Category: PERSON
Here's another one-word puzzle, and this is what she only gets to start...
_ R _ _ _ _ _
P, C, M and A give her...
C R _ _ A _ _
She'll probably act like a CRYBABY for the rest of the night, because she doesn't win the Eclipse Spyder. That sends her home w/ just $10,400.
