Early on, Robert picks up the Tiger GPS gift tag w/ an N, but then gives that up along w/ $650 to BANKRUPT. Much later, Victoria picks up the Free Spin + $300 w/ the M. After a lot of work, she blows her turn w/ the H and the G (latter called after using the FS). Christy puts up the two remaining consonants (K and P)...

Mystery Round - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Christy immediately BANKRUPTS. Robert picks up the Wild Card w/ five N's. He cashes in $7K w/ two F's, but doesn't use his WC at that point (wha?). Soon enough, he lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW and puts up the Y. He adds another grand to the $6,600 in his bank (he would've had the bigger money, though). That non-risk wouldn't matter, because he promptly gives up $7,600 and the WC to the MDW's right BANKRUPT (that's his second one of the episode). Victoria decides to solve right away...
