Hey, recapping these team weeks: IT'S A TOUGH JOB BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT, just like how Marcy & Kareem have another $4,400!
Marcy & Kareem: Pat mentions that Kareem wiped the floor on Jeopardy! a while back, and now he's here to dominate. Marcy graduated from USC, leading to Kareem booing her. She lives in Los Angeles, and is originally from Ypsilanti, MI. She's a social worker for Los Angeles County. Kareem is proudest of probably the rings, which is what they all work for. He's playing for America's Promise, a charity that was started by General Colin Powell to promote volunteerism around the country.

Along with the Jackpot, a shopping spree at the NBA STOTE on Fifth Avenue, NYC is added to the wheel. It's worth $5,300!

Rene & Rebecca can PLYMOUTH ROCK & ROLL with $600 and the NBA shopping spree!
Rene & Rebecca: Rebecca is from the WNBA, and has the shortest season of a professional career... 42 seconds in her first game, and she tears her ACL. Still, she somehow got on the All-Star team! She also played Celebrity Jeopardy! and thinks she did better there because there aren't bankrupts on the board. She's playing for the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which gives around $4,000,000 in scholarships to Hispanic youth. Rene is a director of human resources, is married to Mike, and has two kids (Eric & Caitlyn).

There is a house minimum of $10,000 for the charities, so Alonzo and Rebecca will be receiving more than the contestants.
Marcy now has the chance to win this for herself:
A 2000 Chevy Silverado Z71 worth over $33,000!
A trip to Japan to see the USA Men's Senior National Team, then sightsee Tokyo worth $23,000!
A 2000 Chevy Trailblazer 4x4 worth over $33,000!
...and the $25,000!

Marcy picks L for Lakers, but she doesn't grab the envelope at first, causing the ding to prematurely sound.
