and she's not a hometown hero, but she knows the importance of a HOMECOMING GAME and claims her first thousand dollars!
Let's meet our three undergraduate players:

SHOW BIZ
Tricia has the right of the first spin, which she takes to the tune of $300 each for a trio of R's. After a pair of S's at $400 each and buying the A, she spins tonight's first penalty and BANKRUPTs $1,450. Elyse gets her first shot at it now - and she's getting close to some nice wedges, just missing the trip and $2,500 wedge but picking up an ORBITZ gift tag (two domestic round-trip airline tickets) with three G's. Unfortunately her luck runs out and she too Bankrupts $1,450 (plus the gift tag). Doug would like to avoid the same fate, so he spins twice to clear the pairs of P's (on $550) and C's ($600 each), but then solves quickly:

BEFORE & AFTER
Elyse is the only one without money at this point, and the night's first dud (a T on $500) will not further her cause. Doug has control again long enough to lose it due to BANKRUPT so we travel to Tricia's podium, where the wheel giveth (three $900 R's) and it taketh away (Bankrupting $2,700). After a little work, Elyse will end this round...

PHRASE (PP)
Doug is in second place by just $700 as he begins our third spinning round, and that amount is a lot less than the $3,500 he gets for putting up an R right away! He works his way up to almost $5,000 but the money will have to wait as he hits LOSE A TURN. Tricia has the lead and control of the wheel now, and she tallies some cash before closing the puzzle out...
