The good news is that Nathan Chapman had a fantastic Mystery Round last night thanks to two big $3,500 spins. The bad news, however, is that he blew his $100,000 Bonus Round opportunity by two letters, which made him the fourth such loser this season. What will happen on this Wednesday evening?

Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Kate and Robert immediately dud out w/ R and S, respectively (the latter was on the green 1/2 KIA). Melissa picks up the same 1/2 KIA w/ two L's, but then buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (I). Kate picks up the Wild Card w/ three D's, but she misses w/ P. Robert LATs out, prompting Melissa to solve...

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Robert starts w/ a pair of E's via FP. He next lights up four R's while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW, and quickly takes the $4K for them (that's the BANKRUPT one). After some work, the solde dud vowel of I lets somebody down for the second straight round. Melissa then lands on the same MW and puts up four B's. She wisely declines the gamble...
