Bonus Round
The $25,000 was won, so there are four Bonus Round Prizes left. According to Pat, one of them is a trip to Paris and the other three are vehicles with trips to previous Summer Olympic host cities.
There is a Jeep Grand Cherokee, an Acura sedan, and a Saab convertible up for grabs (thank the credits for providing the brand names).
According to the large world map on the stage, the three trips included with the vehicles are to Stockholm, Tokyo, and Montreal.
David picks the Lfrom W-EEL.

David's choices of C and I probably saved him, as he nails ZINC and wins the Jeep Grand Cherokee with a trip to Montreal, the host city of the 1976 Summer Games, worth $40,854! His one-day total is an impressive $61,692 and he will be definitely return on Friday for the Friday Finals!
