Thursday's Featured Holiday: Emily Morgan Hotel in San Antonio ($7K)
meineke Jackpot Round: Around the House
Sarah starts by losing a turn on the Bankrupt next to that Wild Card. Second, David calls for two S's to pick up the RITZ Camera & Image gift tag & a $900 H at the end, buys four E's, makes the calls of two R's for another $600 but then buys the sole dud vowel for this puzzle (A). Third, Nicole Bankrupts the same way as the lady next to her. Speaking of Sarah, her second turn of the round begins w/ two T's for five big ones, two I's & a $500 C for the blue 1/2 KIA, then two O's & triple N's for the Texas trip...

Third, Sarah puts in a $450 S & an E before being stopped by a J call. Dave then gets the same fate w/ his R call, so it's back to Nicole w/ a $1,200 L trio & an O pairing...
