The good news is that Russ Ferre won almost $37K in cash and trip last night. The bad news is that despite choosing key letters in the Bonus Round, he FELL APART BIG TIME, and became the eighth $100,000 loser this season. Let's hope we can make a great recovery.
We've got teachers playing tonight on Day 3 of "Great American Cities", meaning the car available in Bonusland is the MINI Cooper Convertible.
For the third time in a row, we're starting the game with...
$1,000 Tossup - ON THE MAP
_ _ _ / F _ A _ _ _ _ _ O
Patrick quickly solves SAN FRANCISCO. Let's meet tonight's teachers...
Patrick Thiel: middle school teacher from Fargo, ND
Candace Jenkins: 1st grade teacher & cheerleading coach from Shreveport, LA
Laura Hall: health/P.E. HS teacher & softball team member from Des Moines, WA
$2,000 Tossup - RHYME TIME
C H _ _ K
T A _ _
Patrick has been involved in a lot of CHALK TALK lately, so he's two for two far tonight.
AMERICAN TRIP ON THE WHEEL: to the Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf worth $9,640
Jackpot Round - SONG TITLE
Patrick starts with two T's for the WC. He also picks up the MDW with two R's. He dominates...
_ _ / T R _ _ / T O

PERFECT ROUND!
