Stephan solves "BACK TO THE FUTURE" for control.
FEATURED ATHLETIC PRIZE: $5K Dick's Sporting Goods gift certificate
Jackpot Round - FUN AND GAMES
Stephan first puts in the -ING ending for the bottom word, but he BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to lose $2,600. Secondly, Jashawn puts in two S's, and picks up the 1/2 car near $450 w/ an R. After a non-null cycle is cut including an incorrect vowel (as she is $250 off for now)and some work by her is the LAT. Third, Nicole lights up a $500 W while on Jackpot, but she can't solve for an $8,800 pot (as indicated by the graphic, though judging by Pat's comments and the edited out cycle, it was actually more). And that's too bad, because she BANKRUPTS near $650 on the very next spin. Stephan spins once for the C...
S _ N C _ R O N I _ E _
S W I M M I N G
...and solves SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING for the house minimum.

UNCLAIMED "AIRED" JACKPOT: $9,400
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Stephan: $3K

========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Jashawn and Nicole dud out at the start w/ S and T, respectively. Third in line, Stephen puts up an N, but the sole dud vowel (A) bites him. Jashawn next picks up the Wild Card w/ an M. But after buying the E, the same normal BANKRUPT rids her of $250 and the WC. Nicole picks up both the 1/2 car from the same location and the MDW w/ an R and two L's, respectively. After she cleans out the vowels...
U N _ E R / L O _ _ / &
_ E _
L I M E / P I E
...she solves UNDER LOCK & KEY LIME PIE to get on the board and keep her cardboard pieces.

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - EVENT

D _ _ _ _ _ / A T
A / S E A S _ D E
R E S T A _ R A _ T
...SHE BLOWS THE SOLVE BIG TIME w/ DINNER AT A SEASIDE RESTAURANT!!! UGH. That means Stephan will be DINING AT A SEASIDE RESTAURANT on his trip to the Si Como No Resort, Spa & Wildlife Refuge in COSTA RICA worth $6,050. Ultimately, Nicole threw away a total of approximately $26K cash and prizes (I think it's the Fiesta S sedan worth almost $15K) thanks to that big mistake.
MAJOR DQ: Nicole's blown solve
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores
Stephan: $9,050 cash and C.R.
Jashawn: $1K
Nicole: $1K + MDW

F _ R N _ T _ R _

Nicole solves FURNITURE MAKER for said Final Spin amount (Jashawn got as far as FURNITURE MA___ just before Nicole put up the A). Also, I think a null cycle was edited out once Stephan said the D on his last turn.
AIRED DUDS: S (Nicole), C (Stephan), P (Nicole), D (Stephan)
AIRED DQ: Jashawn's second-word incompletion
