It's been a very rough week, and we have one last chance to produce a Bonus Round winner on the finale of "America's Game". And this episode was taped during "Gone Fishin'", set to air on the week of January 24th.

Jackpot Round - EVENT
David and Andrea start w/ back-to-back duds of R and S, respectively. Next, Tasha picks up the ski trip w/ three N's, but then comes LAT. At the start of Andrea's second turn, she picks up the hayneedle.com gift tag w/ an M. After filling in more letters, she misses w/ C. Towards the end, Tasha lands on the Jackpot, but she BLOWS IT BIG TIME w/ a T; she just missed out on solving for a $9,000 Jackpot. David fills in the rest of the board...
