PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
Brian BANKRUPTS near top dollar after starting w/ a $600 N. Sav's second in line w/ an S and I, but she and everybody else go BANKRUPT three times in a row (Sav lost $550 to the other normal BANKRUPT while the other two hit the one near top dollar again); everybody now has two BANKRUPTS so far tonight. Sav tries again w/ the G, but the sole dud vowel of A bites her. Anita follows suit w/ four FP E's. She also gets the blue 1/2 KIA w/ two H's. After she says the U's to finish the vowels...

When Pat did the "open-and-close", I thought it might have been one of the new amounts. Let's be thankful that she lost that MDW earlier, though. Never thought a MDW loss would actually be good...
