This is Day 2 of "America's Game", and we have members of the Armed Forces competing tonight. The car up for grabs is the Mazda Tribute.
$1,000 Tossup - FICTIONAL CHARACTER
_ _ _ T A _ N
_ M _ R _ C A
Lawrence solves superhero CAPTAIN AMERICA. And now, let's meet the two men and one lady competing...
Lawrence Armstrong: Air Force master sergeant for two decades from Battle Creek, MI

Mark Desette: Marine staff sergeant for a decade from Lake Elsinore, CA (stationed at Camp Pendleton)
$2,000 Tossup - FOOD AND DRINK
H _ A L _ H Y
S N _ C _ _
I hope Shawn has eaten some HEALTHY SNACKS to prepare for this game; she's also on the board.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: trip to the Red Mountain Spa in Utah worth $6,668
Jackpot Round - SAME NAME
Now, let me remind you that tonight marks the one-year anniversary of the REGIS PHILBIN & KELLY RIPA fiasco. Let's hope we don't have a repeat here or anywhere else in this maingame.
Shawn and Mark dud start w/ back-to-back duds of R and T, respectively. Lawrence next picks up the Omaha Steaks gift tag w/ two S's. He also cashes in $5K w/ two L's. After filling in most of the puzzle, he misses w/ a C to leave $6,400 cash and gift tag on the table. Shawn lights up the first two letters of the first word...

UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $11,550
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Mark: $0
Lawrence: $1,000

Round 2 - SHOW BIZ

Mystery Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, Shawn picks up the Wild Card w/ five N's. She next lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. After calling a G, she goes for it...and gets $10,000! But that celebration would be short-lived, because she BANKRUPTS to give back both of those valuable pieces of cardboard. We later get to this...
O R D E R I N G
D I N N E R/ I N
S _ A N I S H
Shawn solves this puzzle for only $150, but she'll be ORDERING DINNER IN SPANISH while at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Hotel & Resort in CABO SAN LUCAS worth $5,350; she wins $5,500 that round.

After the time's up signal, Lawrence immediately goofs saying the first word as EAST. Mark then solves FORT WORTH, TEXAS to finally get on the board.

Can Shawn do a whole lot better here? She lands on the R in AMERICA'S.
Category: THING
Her starting board reads...
_ / _ N _ _ N
_ _ _ T
Shawn goes w/ CDMI...
_ / _ N _ _ N
_ _ C T
Here's A KNOWN FACT for you -- she BLOWS IT BIG TIME by adding the "UN" before KNOWN. Not only is she the lowest maingame winner of the season w/ $9,600 cash and trip...
...SHE'S ALSO THE FIFTH $100,000 LOSER OF THE SEASON. Definitely an EPIC FAIL.
Here's video of Shawn's big disaster courtesy of my buddy Wayoshi.
