PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
Cheryl's opening calls are three S's and two E's, but then a $1,250 loss to the BANKRUPT next to the Wild Card. Bryan secondly FPs five T's, purchases the remaining vowels (four O's, U, two pairs of A's and I's), and gets nailed by LAT. La Donna doesn't get anything from her pick of Y. Cheryl next says M as in the MDW. The board at this point...

S O M E T _ I _ _ / T O

NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT -- her keeping that temporarily and winning the $6K caravan.com TOUR OF CENTRAL AMERICA.

Bryan barely gets VISITING TEAM, so he's just $150 off the lead.
Round 4 - LIVING THINGS
First up from Bryan are two S's for $10K and an E, but nothing from the A. La Donna secondly loses control w/ T. Cheryl also duds out w/ the other bad vowel of this puzzle (O). Bryan then purchases the remaining vowels (two I's and a U) before hitting the same normal BANKRUPT to flush $9K down the drain. La Donna's back in control...

This show was actually taped right after the other show where this happened, so it was the same audience. At least there was something for the MDW.
