FEATURED HALLOWEEN TRIP: Mandalay Bay Hotel from vegas.com (includes a haunted Vegas tour and tickets to a show) worth $5,113
Jackpot Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
As usual, the category wipes for this theme week are the Jack-O'-Lantern and the cackling witch.
Sarah starts on the wrong foot w/ the MDW's right-side BANKRUPT. Trisha secondly FPs a single A, but then BANKRUPTS near top dollar. Third, Kevin lights up two G's while on Jackpot, followed by three N's but then D for dummy. We return to Sarah who does some work before saying S for sorry. Trisha leaves only one letter unexposed...
G E T T I N G / A
_ U M P / O N / T H E
C O M P E T I T I O N
She's GETTING A JUMP ON THE COMPETITION for $1,850.
DUDS: D (Kevin), S (Sarah)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (both ladies)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $9,850
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Sarah: $2K
Trisha: $1,850
Kevin: $1K
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER (very short one)
First from Trisha are T and N for nothing. Second, Kevin inserts a $3,500 L (no reaction from the audience), buys the only valid vowel of three A's, but then hits the other MDW BANKRUPT to lose the remaining $3,250. Third, Sarah picks up the Party City gift tag w/ three C's and says two K's while on the Mystery Wedge next to LAT. She risks $2,500 cash and gift tag...down to zero she goes. Trisha gets a grand from the other MW...
_ A C K
B L A C K
C A T
...and solves JACK BLACK CAT for $1,650.
(Note: Because of the small amount of letters in this puzzle, there was very likely at least one null cycle cut out)
SOLE AIRED DUD: N (Trisha)
AIRED BANKRUPTS: 2 (Kevin, Sarah)
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Sarah: $2K
Trisha: $3,450
Kevin: $1K

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - SONG LYRICS
Kevin gets no N's to start this round. Sarah secondly puts up two T's, but then comes LAT. Third, Trisha spots three S's but no A's. Kevin resumes his playing w/ three L's, but he then repeats the A. Sarah's next calls are a couple R's and bunches of O's and E's. Following a $3,500 F, she picks up the 1/2 car near the pink $900 w/ three Y's (it's that smart car). But after all that work, the BANKRUPT near top dollar forces her to put $6,850 and her plate in the grave. Trisha tries to solve w/ the following...
L O S E / Y O U R
B L U E S
E _ E R Y B O _ Y / _ U T
F O O T L O O S E
...but she's off by one letter w/ "LOSE YOUR BLUES, EVERYBODY PUT FOOTLOOSE"; that will cost her at least $1,850. Kevin stumbles on his solve attempt, but he's correct w/ "LOSE YOUR BLUES, EVERYBODY CUT FOOTLOOSE" (by Kenny Loggins) for $2,450 and a $6,100 trip to the British Colonial Hilton in THE BAHAMAS, giving him $8,550 that round.

Do NOT put that up again, Andy. Final warning.
I lost power at around 6:40 last night and I'm currently at a relative's house who has a generator.
