From the San Diego Convention Center, it's America's game! This is Armed Forces Week!
We inspect our trio with a Toss-Up round...
Go!
Marie solves A RIPPLE EFFECT.
Thursday recruits:
Marie Clark: US Navy Chief Petty Officer at the Academy in Annapolis ("Lucky 13th Company"), and has a sister and brother-in-law who are also underway; from Lancaster, PA
Sean Madden: Judge advocate in the Marines and stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, from Springfield, VA
Roy Mickel: Sergeant First Class in the Army who works for the American Forces Radio & Television Service as the Chief of TV operations to broadcast to a million overseas, from San Antonio, TX
Go!
Marie solves OBSTACLE COURSE.
She needs to be smack dab in the middle to get that $10,000 prize. If she's slightly off, she'll be in big trouble.
Marie solves BARBERSHOP QUARTET.
Marie solves LETTER & AIRCRAFT CARRIER.
The Mystery Round is here to remind Roy that no lead is insurmountable. Will he risk it with a flip? There could be a BANKRUPT, or there could be a 2003 Ford Focus worth $14,090!
Marie solves WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE, and she can do that in her new Ford!
Well, the others don't have to worry about a penalty spin during the Toss-Up round, and as usual, control is very important.
Go!
Sean solves BIGHORN SHEEP for some cash.
Can he go the extra mile in this round?
DING DING! DING DING!
Yes, but only one right now. With no time left, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! Again, no lead is insurmountable!
Sean: T ($6,000)
Roy: R (x2) ($12,000)
Marie: S ($6,000)
Sean: M (DUD!)
Roy: N ($18,000)
Marie: G ($12,000)
Sean: L ($12,000)
Sean says STARTING ROLE.
Roy solves SUPPORTING ROLE for just enough to win the game!
BONUS ROUND:

During Roy's interview, Pat imagines that there's a lot of talk about Pat having been in the Army. Who knows? 
This is the Toss-Up that could leave its own ripple effect.

Here's a crazy idea. We gather Sean, Roy, Pat, and Charlie to sing about a trip to Manhattan and stay at Park Central Hotel, with dinner plus tickets to a Broadway show (labeled NEW YORK) worth $6,050.
Maybe that's too crazy...but not as crazy as the size that the Jackpot can grow to!

BONUS ROUND:
"Latecomer" Roy is amazed. He might need some time before we look at our bonus prizes, and they are:
Mercury Grand Marquis
Mercury Marauder
Lincoln Aviator
Supporting cash ($25,000-$50,000)
Supporting cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or another big surprise! ($100,000)
He has his wife, his son and daughters, and a niece in the audience! He's got one more son at home...and he also has too many names to remember. 
One last spin for Roy, and this spin will actually count. He stops at the S in CASH, and since he's under a lot of pressure, he'd like an easy puzzle.

...and he can't take home a shiny Mercury Grand Marquis. The "poor guy" Roy must settle with an all-cash total of $30,000.
In the post-game chat, Pat reminds us that there's one more night of Armed Forces Week. He likes giving a lot of money to all the men and women in uniform!
