Mystery Round - SAME LETTER
Lorimar instantly duds out w/ N. Vanessa starts her run w/ an R before hitting LAT. Ben lands on the French Alps adventure, but fails w/ T. Lorimar picks up the 1/2 KIA from the same wedge w/ two S's, but she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to forfeit $750 and the plate. Vanessa BANKRUPTS normally to lose $600. On Ben's second turn, he puts up the A's via FP and the SL of four P's (good for $2,400), but goofs w/ D. Lorimar decides to just solve for the house minimum (?!)...
P _ R P _ E
P A I S _ E _

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PEOPLE
Vanessa picks up the Sierra trading post gift tag w/ an H on her second spin. She does some work before buying the only bad vowel of this puzzle. Ben calls his third dud of the game w/ Y. Lorimar picks up the Wild Card w/ an L and that same 1/2 KIA w/ two R's, but she then decides to solve w/ the following...
A M A _ I N G
_ I R E / _ A N _ E R S
A T / T H E / L U A U
She's correct for $1,350, and she'll see some AMAZING FIRE DANCERS AT THE LUAU while at the Kahala Hotel & Resort in HONOLULU worth $7,225; she's won $8,575 that round.

Plus, what kind of reaction was that at the BR reveal? It sounded like they got tricked by the Scary Maze Game or something. I couldn't tell if that was real or not.
