...and he's won $8K plus the chance to be SCUBA DIVING AROUND THE ISLAND of ST. CROIX; it's a trip to the Divi Carina Bay worth $6,100, and his total that round is $14,100!

========
Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Adam immediately gets the cruise w/ three S's. But after some work, he BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to forfeit $7K cash and cruise. Secondly, Merissa BANKRUPTS the old-fashioned way while Chae Hwa LATs out, so we're coming right back to Adam. He puts up a $500 H, but then gets stopped by the only bad vowel of this puzzle (E). After Merissa LATs out, Chae Hwa BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side again to give back $450. Adam BANKRUPTS normally to give up the other half of his $500. Merissa's third turn has her picking up the MDW w/ three L's...

Mystery Round - PHRASE
Early on, Merissa FPs a trio of S's and buys a whopping 10 E's. Following that is an R and a bad purchase of I. Second, Chae Hwa strikes out w/ N while on the Wild Card. Third, Adam grabs the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT after putting up an H...it's the $10K! But that goes away very quickly to his third BANKRUPT of the episode. Merissa follows suit w/ two P's and five A's...
