========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Asher starts with two pairs of T's and E's, but he BANKRUPTS to lose $350. Two spins later, Jeni lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. After lighting up two S's, she doesn't risk $5,350 (I'm afraid that was the $10K one). The next spin lands her on $3,500 and she strikes out w/ the N. Naida picks up the Palm Springs vacation with a B. She then calls a V while on the other MW...but she turns it over to give up $6,050 cash and trip. Towards the end, Asher forfeits $1,350 to the MDW's left-side BANKRUPT. That prompts Jeni to solve...

The ladies start w/ back-to-back penalty spins (Jeni on the MDW's right side BANKRUPT; Naida on LAT). After that, Asher picks up the Wild Card with a T, but he then hands it back to the house; that's his third BANKRUPT of the evening. It's all Jeni from here...
