Last week, we gave away a season-high of $307K+ cash and prizes. That's a tough act to follow, but let's see what our players can do. The name of this week is "Bed & Breakfast" and of course the featured trips are provided by bedandbreakfast.com.

Round 2 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Kira instantly misses with the N. Dan fills in most of the puzzle (including two H's for $7K), but he hits LAT to leave at least $11,300 on the table. Frances and Kira go BANKRUPT back-to-back (former was on the MDW's left side while the latter loses her WC), so we're coming right back to Dan...
I S / T H I S / A
_ R E A T / _ A _ E
O R / _ H A T ?
...but he blows the solve by asking "IS THIS A GREAT LAKE OR WHAT?". Frances then picks up that Italian trip with two G's...
I S / T H I S / A
G R E A T / G A _ E
O R / _ H A T ?
She asks the correct question, "IS THIS A GREAT GAME OR WHAT?", for a second trip to the Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino on the Caribbean Island of BONAIRE ($6,100); she's won $13,085 in trips that round. Dan squandered $17,400 cash and trip because of that late error.

Dan gets his second LAT of the night right out of the game. Next is Frances' second BANKRUPT of the night (i.e. the same one she hit earlier). Later, Kira picks up a 1/2 Kia and $1,500 with three R's. But she decides to sacrifice that half by attempting to solve with this setup...

...but he STILL DOESN'T get CORKBOARD (one of his guesses was CARDBOARD)! Ugh. He throws away the Tiguan, and is sent packing with $34K.
