Jon knows about the NATURAL WONDERS of the world, and he banks a grand by making the solve.
CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS:
Jon Eveland lives in Kaneohe on the island of Oahu, where he is a site manager for a condominium. He and his wife Jill have three children, Mia, Kiani, and Zane. They enjoy hiking and going to the beach as a family, and Jon also indulges in surfing and golfing on his own.
Ashley Tobosa hails from Pearl City, also on Oahu. She is an active-duty seaman in the Coast Guard, with four years of service. However, that hasn't stopped her from having a family, as she and her husband Josh have three daughters, Cadence, Ria, and Nomi.
Donna Dela Cruz and her boyfriend Willie have a blended family with five children - Promise, Joseph, Jonah, Kiana, and Peyton. She was born and raised in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, where she works as a product consultant for a restaurant supply company.

Donna opens the night's spinning on $600 for three R's. She buys the E, then spins over to $650 for triple S's. A trio of A's goes up on the board, and then the rest of her cash goes down the drain - she BANKRUPTs on the right side of the Million-Dollar Wedge.
Jon also starts on $600, knocking out the N. He buys a pair of I's before returning to $600 for the double D's. Back to $600 he goes for two H's, then he finishes off the vowels, getting the O's (three) and U's (two)...
A / _ I _ _ U R E
I S / _ O R _ H / A
_ H O U S A N D
_ O R D S
...and while A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, Jon's solve is worth something more tangible - $2,250 in cash!
Bankrupt: Donna ($3,250)
Donna: $2,000

ROUND 2 (MYSTERY ROUND): BEFORE & AFTER

_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
Jon takes off with two T's on $500 next to the orange $900 (normally a 1/2 Car spot). He gets a couple of A's but has much better luck with the I - six of those! Back to the wheel he goes, and he picks up the Washington, D.C. trip with a pair of H's! He just stays out of Lose a Turn on the $800, but the D ends up a dud.
Ashley has a big decision to make right away, as she hits the Mystery wedge near the MDW and finds five N's - she decides to flip, and sadly this wedge is the Bankrupt.
Donna lands on the $500 next to the pink $900 (where the 1/2 Car normally is) and calls two C's. Then she goes to the other $500 near the orange $900 and takes a couple of K's. $600 is her next stop, and R her pick, after which she buys the O. Then it's back to the $500 next to the orange $900, where the L comes up bad for her.
Jon spins, and it does not go well, as he BANKRUPTs next to $3,500.
Ashley goes to $550, but strikes out with the S.
Donna avoid's Jon's fate and keeps her cash, though she still won't get to call a letter, thanks to LOSE A TURN.
Jon has had enough of the wheel...
I / T H I N K

...and like the little player that could, he solves I THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN OPENER for the house minimum (since he had nothing on hand).

Ashley gets a decent start by taking the trio of T's on the $500 next to the pink $900. $650 is her next destination, where two R's are grabbed, after which she buys five E's! Then she gets a couple S's on $600 before purchasing a pair of A's. Her turn is derailed on the next spin, though, when she BANKRUPTs near Free Play.
Donna triples down on D's at the $500 space before buying two I's...
_ E _ E _ D A R _
D E S E R T
D E S T I _ A T I _ _
...and she will be visiting the LEGENDARY DESERT DESTINATION that is Palm Springs! She'll be staying at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas on her trip valued at $8,058! Added to her $1,250 in cash, that makes a $9,308 round for Donna!

Tonight, Donna will be trying to identify an OCCUPATION. The standard six, RSTLNE, give her...

Donna gets a little help with her picks of P, M, C, and O...

It's plenty of help, as it turns out, since she solves FACTORY WORKER right out of the gate! That adds $32,000 in cash to her haul.
