From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Enjoy Puerto Rico Week!
Today's contestants:

Mel Johnson (female): Single and available mother and grandmother, also a retired nurse and has "a rusty pilot's license"; from Port Orchard, WA

Jeff solves THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.
Perfection! Laura solves IT FITS YOU LIKE A GLOVE COMPARTMENT to keep the trip and gold!
Sure, Laura took most of the cardboard, but Mel has the first shot at the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces. Maybe another perfect round?

Laura solves NORWAY SWEDEN & DENMARK for all that cash.
