_ O O / _ _ O _ / T O
B _ / _ R _ _

Jackpot Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
The category wipe this week is a yellow flower that reveals several smaller flowers on the maingame category strips during each puzzle's intro only.
Early on, Carrie FPs a dud vowel in A. But she keeps on going before seeing this on the board...

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - SHOW BIZ
Ricky instantly BANKRUPTS next to $3,500. Secondly, Carrie gets an S from top dollar, but then comes the only dud vowel of this puzzle (E). Steven says a dud in H, which then gets repeated by Ricky, so we're coming back to Carrie almost immediately...but she gets that other normal BANKRUPT to forfeit $3,250. Steven cashes in $14K w/ the N's. But after shutting down the vowel department, he BLOWS HIS TURN w/ the P, prompting Ricky to solve...
T O N _ / A _ A R _
_ I N N I N _
_ R O A _ _ A _
_ U S I _ A _
He'll see a TONY AWARD WINNING BROADWAY MUSICAL during his stay at The Westin NEW YORK At Times Square worth $5,780 (w/ tickets to "Rock of Ages"; this ISN'T a Tony Award winner according to Wikipedia). Steven squandered a total of $20,330 cash and trip in this round alone.

Round 4 - PEOPLE
Carrie's initial letters are the ones spelling NET, but the T is no good. Steven secondly BANKRUPTS next to the old WC location. Almost immediately after that are four straight lost turns -- Ricky's A purchase, Carrie's LAT hit, Steven's dud of M and the same BANKRUPT to deprive Ricky of $1,800; that's his third of the evening. Carrie picks things up from there...
