Last night, we finally got the monkey off our backs thanks to David Shannon dominating the game and taking home $78,135 cash and prizes! Hopefully, this will set the tone in a good way for the rest of the week.
EPISODE #5619 - AMERICA'S GAME
Tonight, we're giving one more group of "Military Spouses" the chance to shine!
$1,000 Tossup - SONG LYRICS
T _ _ / _ _ N _ / _ F
_ _ E / F R _ E
This appears in the final verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner", and Lindsay solves "THE LAND OF THE FREE". Let's meet all three of the ladies right now...
Lindsay Conners: a newlywed whose Navy husband (a 3rd Class petty officer) was recently deployed to Bahrain from Glen Cove, NY
Eva Van Camp: Coast Guard Lt. commander married to a commanding officer of Air Station L.A. and CG pilot of 23 yrs named Tim from Jackman, ME
Sharon Adams: her husband of 8 yrs is a USMC pilot who just got back from Afghanistan from Corpus Christi, TX (originally from Florida)
$2,000 Tossup - LIVING THING
P _ _ Y I _ G
_ A _ T _ S
Lindsay's two for two after catching a PRAYING MANTIS.
FEATURED PRIZE: trip to the Red Mountain Resort in Utah worth $6,828
Jackpot Round - FOOD AND DRINK
Lindsay hits an instant roadblock in R while on the BnBFinder gift tag. Two spins later, Eva picks up the Utah retreat w/ two S's. Soon enough...
_ E L I _ I _ _ S
_ E E P - _ I S _
A P P L E / P I E
...she eats some of this DELICIOUS DEEP-DISH APPLE PIE for $8,678 cash and trip.

UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $5,800
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Eva: $8,678 cash and Utah
Sharon: $0
Lindsay: $3K
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Eva begins this round w/ a T, two E's and an A via FP, but she then BANKRUPTS near $3,500 to lose $150. Secondly, Sharon says S for sorry. Third, Lindsay does a little work before losing her turn w/ the L. Eva next picks up the Wild Card w/ four R's. After two more spins, she faces this...
F O R _ / I N / T H E
R O A D
R U N N E R
She finds a FORK IN THE ROAD RUNNER for $1,200 (and no, the $2K house minimum they had during "MS" doesn't apply for tonight).
DUDS: S (Sharon), L (Lindsay)
BANKRUPT: Eva
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Eva: $9,878 cash and Utah + WC
Sharon: $0
Lindsay: $3K
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - FUN AND GAMES
First for Sharon are multiple occurrences of T's, E's and A's, but then comes LAT. Later, Lindsay finds $7K worth of H's and a couple of C's. After a lot of work, she BANKRUPTS near the old WC spot to let $12,700 disappear. Eva hits LAT while Sharon BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to forfeit $3,100, so we're coming right back to Lindsay. She puts up three S's and a W before we turn to the board...
C A T C H I N G

G R E A T E S T
W A V E S / E V E R
She wins $1,200 and a hotwire.com trip to where she'll be CATCHING SOME OF THE GREATEST WAVES EVER -- the Makena Beach & Golf Resort in MAUI worth $6K; that round was worth $7,200 to her.

$100,000 Bonus Round
I highly doubt the $29K+ Explorer is inside Sharon's envelope, which comes from the second A of AMERICA'S.
Category: PHRASE
Here's a few letters for her to get started...
_ _ _ _ / _ N
_ / _ L _ S _
MCHI is her combo...
_ _ C _ / I N
_ / _ L _ S H
...and she'll be BACK IN A FLASH w/ her reward. Now, let me tell you that the Rebuilding Together has doubled to $5K and this was the same puzzle that made former ASU student Elyse Thomas the sixth and final $100,000 winner of Season 23 during College Week in Denver. As for Sharon's envelope...
...THE BIG ONE'S THERE -- WE FINALLY HAVE OUR FIRST GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF THE SEASON!!!!! SPRAY THE CONFETTI/STREAMERS!!! She is now the biggest winner this season w/ $110,500, all cash!
(NOTE: Jim Thornton used the line "We're giving you a check made out to cash..." for the grand prize win instead of the usual "Here's thousands of reasons to celebrate...")
