The LOVEY-DOVEY couple of Lisa & Dave get on the board first. Let's meet them as well as the other two teams...
Lisa & Dave Tippetts (married for a decade): Lisa is a stay-at-home mom while Dave is a scientist; they're from North Vegas
Michele & Michael Trzesniak (married for about a year): Michele's a special education teacher while Michael's a software engineer; they're from Crest Hill, IL and they first met on a dating website
Trey & Scotta Rawls (married 15.5 years): Trey is an Air Force test pilot for 18 years while Scotta's also a SAHM; they're from Henderson, NV

The M's then land on the MDW again, and they're able to pick it up this time with two R's. Towards the end, they land on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT.
