Last night, the 13th day of this month was an UNLUCKY one for Anita Jefferson. She won the maingame w/ $16,100 cash and trip despite losing the MDW quickly, but still became the season's 5th $100,000 loser. Let's hope we rebound from that disaster.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Jason's initial calls spell out the word SEAT, but then comes D for dummy. Shortly after that, Kelcey gets the green 1/2 KIA, but then gives up that plate and $1,400 to the MDW's left-side BANKRUPT. Next, Hillary puts up a trio of R's while on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. She puts her plate at risk...and it's gone. Jason follows up w/ his second LAT of the episode. Kelcey then picks up the shopping spree w/ a P. After putting up the K and the Y next...
