Last night, we had the WORST EPISODE OF THE SEASON. Not only did all three contestants ended up w/ sub-$10,000 totals, Shawn Greenan became the fifth $100,000 loser thanks to adding an unnecessary "UN" before the second word of her puzzle A KNOWN FACT. We need a major recovery tonight as we start Day 3 of "America's Game" on the set of "Outdoor Adventures".
