WoF: The season's second America's Game Week ends on the Sandals Golf Getaway set. Tonight's Toss-Up opening category's Food & Drink:

_ O _ _ _ _ D _

_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ E

Brady quickly eats some HOMEMADE APPLE PIE because it's an All-American dessert. This last panel of the week has two guys:

Brady Minter (L.A.; originally from Madison, WI)- A final-year USC law school student who's newly engaged to Michelle; she previously got shut out when she competed
Angela Balter (Framingham, MA)- A marketing & client service director for a country firm & a Celtics fan married to Ryan
Mark Macek (Pompano Beach, FL)- An automobile warranty salesman who has the nickname "Puff" from his time at Florida State University & has been married to Patty for 27 years

The $2K T-U's at least two Living Things:

_ _ _ _ _ N G

L _ _ N S

Mark's way off course w/ FLYING LOONS, while Brady gets the steal on the ROARING LIONS.

The last Eggland's Best Jackpot Round of the week talks about an Occupation & the featured trip's to the Greek Peek Mountain Resort Hope Lake Lodge & Indoor Waterpark in Cortland, NY courtesy of I SKI NY.com & Hotwire.com worth $5,880. Brady opens by Losing a Turn. Angela secondly hits the right Bankrupt of the Million Dollar Wedge. Third, Mark calls for a $900 T & a $500 S for the blue 1/2 KIA, purchases an E & two A's & then calls on two R's for six more bills prior to buying three O's & saying a dud of L. Returning to Brady, who puts up two P's for $1,800 & five H's for that Beef Bucks card...

H _ _ H - _ A S H _ O _

P H O T O _ R A P H E R

...& keeps both by solving HIGH-FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER, a new total for him of $5,800 in cash & gift tag.

SOLE DUD: $300 L (Mark)
SOLE LaT: Brady
SOLE BANKRUPT: Angela
LAST UNCLAIMED JACKPOT THIS WEEK: $7,900

To lead off a Mystery/Same Name Round, Angela captures a $500 T for the same 1/2 KIA from the previous round, three E's, quad L's for another $3,200 & two O's, but she then Bankrupts on the same side of the MDW to lose her plate & $3,200. Second, Mark takes a $300 S, an A, two B's for the Wild Card & a couple F's for another $1,600, followed by these...

B _ F F A L O / &

T E L E _ _ O _ E

B _ L L S

...BUFFALO & TELEPHONE BILLS are right to have him keep control & $1,650.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Angela

The theme of that Prize Puzzle Round tonight's Fun & Games. First said by him are a $1K T couple, a $900 H trio & three E's, then come $600 worth of a pair of L's, two A's, four O's, a U, trip N's for the MDW & the final vowel of I...

_ O I N _ / T H E

H U L A / O N / T H E

_ A N _ E / _ L O O _

...& he's in the lead w/ $1,250 more & there's the chance he'll be DOING THE HULA ON THE DANCE FLOOR in the middle of his holiday at the Hilton Waikoloa Village valued at $6,715, a total now of $9,615 in cash & trip.

PERFECT ROUND

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: MM4938145 (Mindy M.)

This $3K T-U object's something Around the House:

C _ _ _ _ _ G

_ _ _

Brady turns on a CEILING FAN to get closer to Mark w/ $8,800 in cash & debit card.

Next topic's Song Lyrics. Brady's base letters are a $450 T, his & her W's & S's for another grand apiece & he's going for the lead back this instant...

W _ _ _ / _ _ _ / W _ S _

_ _ _ _ / _ / S T _ _

...& gets it w/ Jiminy Cricket's "WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR", which makes his haul $11,250.

PERFECT ROUND #2

Next's a Phrase, which starts out w/ Angela filling in a $300 T & two N's for another five Benjamins apiece, followed by the double I's, the triple O's, the $800 G pairing & the board...

G O I N G / O _ T

O N / _ / _ I _ _

...she's GOING OUT ON A LIMB & it works for her first 16 bills.

PERFECT ROUND #3

The Last Chance Round category's Thing & consonants are worth $1,300 a pop. Once an R's put up...

T R _ _ H _

_ _ S _

...Mark blanks out for $2,600 extra & the match. But he gets another stab at it after he next calls the C...

T R _ P H _

C _ S _

...he may be putting that $1 Million envelope in his TROPHY CASE, because he's won the right to spin for it w/ $13,515 in cash & Hawaii! Angela didn't win the $2,600 in this round but still leaves w/ the previous $1,600 & Brady goes home w/ $11,250 in various kinds of spending.

$26,365 in cash & stuff have been won so far on this potentially big night for "Wheel".

SOLE DUD: B (Brady)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding cardboard): $3,200

MILLION DOLLAR BONUS ROUND #6 (& first this year): Mark's million-dollar moment could be coming from that first A in AMERICA'S. The category's Person & to start:

PDMAH gives him...

_ _ L D E N / _ _ _

...& he knows that Oscar De La Hoya's nickname's "GOLDEN BOY", so this knockout's worth...


























































































































































...$30K- we just had NO luck on that Bonus Wheel this week. Puff still goes back to The Sunshine State w/ $43,515 in cash & The Aloha State!

MILLION DOLLAR LOCATION: '

J!: These challengers have just about had enough of a string of decent to great returning champions on this show (including current kingpin Brandon Libby):

Preston Nicholson (originally from Omni, OK)- Pre-law program director/attorney
Cindy Conaway (Saratoga Springs, NY)- Professor of Media Studies

We're off to the races (I just had to say that phrase because Saratoga Springs' home to a horse racing track) w/ this topic board:

STATE LICENSE PLATE SLOGANS
WORDS THAT SHOULD RHYME
FROM PAGE TO SCREEN
MAKING CONNECTIONS
GLUTEN-FREE FOODS (BTW, Elisabeth Hasselbeck just released a cookbook involving these)
FLOAT SAM & JET SAM

Brandon gets himself $1,800 in the hole right out of the gate, but he gets that deficit down to $200 halfway through the Jeopardy! Round (exactly, because the first three listed categories have been cleared out); Preston's slightly leading Cindy $1,800-$1,400. Late in this round of play, Preston picks off the Daily Double (hey, did you know that's a horse racing term, too?) from the $800 Float Sam & Jet Sam spot & is currently trailing Cindy by twice as much as he led her, $2,800-$2K; Brandon's back in the red to the tune of $400. Preston wagers half his bank on this clue:

From 1937-1940, Samuel Eliot Morison researched a 450th Anniversary bio by retracing this man's voyages.

"Who is Christopher Columbus?"...yes indeedy for a $200 advantage w/ three thou. Cindy ties him at round's end, leaving Brandon w/ a positive $1,800.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,800
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $5,200
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $7K

On the Double Jeopardy! Category Corral:

LAKES & RIVERS
COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
POETS & POETRY
THIS & THAT
"AND" (this board's themed around that)
ROCK & ROLL

Cindy pockets her first DD assigned to the $1,600 answer regarding Poets & Poetry; w/ $9,800, that clue's amount separates her from Preston & first; Brandon's still hanging in there w/ five C-note. An extra $3.5K & the lead back are both on the line for her w/ this piece of info:

Rhyme entered European poetry in The Middle Ages in part from this language in use in the region of Al Andalus in Spain.

"What is Catalan?"...not it; the language was Arabic, so she's dropped to $6,300 & only has a $1,300 second-place cushion. W/ just the $800, $1,600 & $2K answers about Lakes & Rivers left, Preston picks the DD from the $1,600 screen w/ $13K; he leads Cindy by $2,700 & the champ by $6,800. $1,800's the amount risked this time:

This long river w/ a short name rises in The Cottian Alps & empties into The Adriatic.

"What is the Po?"...if we're talking about being angry, he shouldn't be at least for the moment, because he's right for $14,800. No time for the biggie.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,200 (This & That)
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,600 (Poets & Poetry)
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $2,800

Post-DJ! Banks:

Brandon: $6,200
Cindy: $11,100
Preston: $14,800

CORYAT SCORES:

Brandon: $6,200
Cindy: $14,600
Preston: $14,400

LAST FINAL JEOPARDY! SUBJECT THIS WEEK: Presidential Running Mates.

The traditional inaugural lunch for this President & Vice-President featured boiled stuffed lobster & prime ribs of beef au jus.

Brandon (who's definitely NOT related to Scooter) Libby put "Who is JFK + LBJ"...DOUBLE to stay in the game. Cindy Conaway...missed it completely w/ George Washington & John Adams, so she drops $5K. Preston Nicholson...went way too recent w/ Barack Obama & John Biden, so Brandon's a repeat champion, too w/ back-to-back third-place comebacks! Two-day total: $31,600.
