After I announce that the RITZ Camera & Image gift tag's available tonight & Thursday & the trip wedge could send one to the Maruba Resort Jungle Spa worth $7,720, the IHOP Jackpot Round category of this match's Fictional Characters. Beginning w/ two S's for $1,100, she then loses that amount right back to the Bankrupt next to the Wild Card. Secondly, Carla calls on a $600 N & the $300 D, then after buying the A, she comes up w/ two R's for another $600 but then bobbles the N while on the gift certificate. Third, Bill calls for a couple M's good for $550 each, buys two E's, puts up a $500 H for the blue 1/2 KIA but then loses everything to the same Bankrupt. Christy follows that w/ the other natural Bankrupt, then Carla takes two T's to add $1,800 before hitting Lose a Turn. Bill's next consonant call's three G's for $1,800 & we see...
