G R E _ N / L I G H T

Sarah's PLAYING CATCH for first control of the Wheel.
AMERICAN TRIP ON THE WHEEL: Emily Morgan Hotel in San Antonio worth $7K
Jackpot Round - AROUND THE HOUSE
Sarah gets off to a bad start w/ the BANKRUPT near the Wild Card. Secondly, David picks up the RITZ Camera & Image package w/ two S's. After some work, he buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (A). Third, Nicole hits that same normal BANKRUPT. Sarah then cashes in $5K w/ two T's. She also gets the blue 1/2 KIA w/ a C and the TX trip w/ three N's. The board at this point...

She sprays this puzzle w/ some LEMON-SCENTED FURNITURE POLISH for $5K and the trip, a total of $12K that round.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
David immediately BANKRUPTS near $3,500. Second in line, Nicole quickly takes the money for an N while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW (that was the BANKRUPT one). After a little work, she says D for dummy. Third, Sarah lights up singles of S and E but nothing else w/ J (she thought the last word was JEANS). David also strikes out w/ R. Soon enough, Nicole faces this board...

Loved how they didn't fail to buzz a missolve this time (and didn't dub in a stock audience groan). If anything, this one deserved something as harsh as Family Feud's strike buzzer.
