Jackpot Round - THING
Meagan immediately picks up the MDW w/ two T's, but she's forced to give it right back to the BANKRUPT next to the Wild Card. Doris' first letter of R is a dud. Jared gets the same fate as Meagan to lose $650. Meagan tries again with an M and an A, but then loses $50 to the other normal BANKRUPT.

Mystery Round - SAME NAME
Doris starts w/ a T while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW, but surprisingly takes the grand (good move, because that's the BANKRUPT one). After some work, she BANKRUPTS next to the WC to give up $2,950 and her plate. Later, Jared lands on the other MW and lights up two G's...but decides to add $2K to his $3,950.

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
Jared's first choices spell out the word RAT, but then comes N for nothing while on the other 1/2 KIA space. Second for Meagan is the BANKRUPT near the WC (her third so far this evening). Doris finishes off the vowels with an E via FP. She narrows the puzzle down to this...

)...how about putting the MDW back if it's lost? It's so depressing that it's gone after two turns and she ruined anybody else's chances of getting it that fast.
Apologies in advance if you join here, Jared, but I hope you realized that calling the C and O because you knew it was COLORS was not a good move. Maybe if he had went with the common CDMO instead...
I'm dubbing this as a new curse (too bad it has such a long name), and I blame them for the quick loss.
