Mystery Round - MOVIE QUOTE
Trista does some work before losing $450 and the WC to BANKRUPT. Later, Will picks up one of the 1/2 KIAs (blue) before landing on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. He calls two R's and declines the $8,300 gamble (wise move; that's the BANKRUPT one). Next is a $3,500 P...and then LAT, likely costing him $11,800 and that plate. Amy goofs w/ the B, so we're back to Trista. She calls the last remaining consonant (D; two of them) for the Gourmet Gift Baskets.com gift tag, and all she needs to do is read what's up there...

Usually the audience is much more fired up when a contestant is doing well, but no matter how many multiples Will got, no matter what he landed on, no matter how much he was getting, nobody cared.
