PRIZE PUZZLE Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
That's the third time this week we've had a PP round w/ this category.
Charita starts w/ two T's for one of the 1/2 KIAs (blue). After some work, she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to forfeit $2,050 and the plate, so no more chances to win that KIA Soul. Two spins after that, Amaris picks up the MDW w/ two N's. Towards the end, she squanders her turn w/ the M while on $3,500. Chris spins once and tries to solve...

He'll be WRITING "WISH YOU WERE HERE" ON A POSTCARD, because he's won $300 and a trip to the Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort in ARUBA worth $6,100; that round was worth $6,400 to him.
