FEATURED PRIZE: the Durango, CO adventure w/ the hotwire.com travel worth $5,585
Jackpot Round - MOVIE QUOTE
Scott immediately picks up the Colorado trip w/ an S. After some work, he's forced to give up that and $100 to the MDW's right-side BANKRUPT. Secondly, Kristine FPs a single I, but then BANKRUPTS near $2,500. Third, Robin lights up $1K worth of H's and an N for the BnBFinder.com gift tag. We now have...
T H E R E ' S / N _

She solves "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME" ("The Wizard of Oz") for $2K cash and gift tag.
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Scott, Kristine)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $6,600
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Robin and Scott: $2K each
Kristine: $1K
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Kristine immediately gets the blue 1/2 KIA w/ two S's. After some work, she buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (O).
(EDIT ALERT: After this point, a null cycle is cut. Possibly a LAT by Kristine, followed by duds of N and R from the other two)
Towards the end, Scott picks up the Wild Card w/ two P's...
_ L U E - P L A _ E
S P E C I A L
E F F E C _ S
...and creates some BLUE-PLATE SPECIAL EFFECTS for $1,200.

AIRED LAT: Robin
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Robin: $2K cash and gift tag
Scott: $3,200 + WC

========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Right away, Robin picks up the MDW w/ two N's. After filling in about half of the puzzle, she BANKRUPTS near the old WC location to kiss $1K and the MDW goodbye. Secondly, Scott uncovers three P's...
_ I P P I N G / A
_ O L _ / _ R I N _
_ _ / _ _ E / P O O L
...but he blows the first word of the last line w/ SIPPING A COLD DRINK AT THE POOL. Afterwards, Kristine gets the green 1/2 KIA w/ a $500 B and gives the plate right back for a potential trip...
_ I P P I N _ / A
_ O L _ / _ R I N _
B _ / _ _ E / P O O L
She's won the right to be SIPPING A COLD DRINK BY THE POOL on her caravan.com tour of PANAMA worth $5,500, giving her a total of $6K that round.

Round 4 - PHRASE
The first letters from Kristine spell out TIN, but the N is a no-no. Secondly, Robin uncovers multiple L's and E's and a lone H, but then R for roadblock. Third, Scott FPs two A's but gives up the WC to the nearby BANKRUPT, and we're going into speed-up mode...
I _ / T H E _ E / _ A L L _
_ _ _ L _ / T _ L _
...w/ the remaining consonants worth $6,000 each! Kristine lights up the S's...
