EPISODE #5542 - AMERICA'S GAME
We're on the set of "Desert Hideaways", meaning tonight's vehicle is the Jeep Wrangler Sport.
$1,000 Tossup - PROPER NAME
T _ _ _ A _
_ E _ _ E R _ _ N
He appears on the nickel, and Maggie knows that's THOMAS JEFFERSON. Tuesday's trio...
Maggie Woelke: teacher at Apex Academy HS from Calipatria, CA
Katrina Julian: law school student who owns a chihuahua named Pac-Man from San Diego
Mitch Kimbrell: student at Mid-America Baptist Seminary who's a fan of the University of Georgia Bulldogs & the Atlanta Braves from Cordova, TN (originally from Doerun, GA)
$2,000 Tossup - SHOW BIZ
B E _ T - _ _ _ S _ E D
L I S T
I doubt Maggie would make the BEST-DRESSED LIST, but she's two for two so far.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: the $5K ally BANK bonus
Jackpot Round - SAME LETTER
Maggie begins w/ two L's for the Jura Coffee center gift tag and 2 $600 S's. After an E buy, she also gets the green 1/2 KIA w/ six N's. Next is I, 2 $550 T's and 2 $600 G's. After an A buy, she finds the SL of three C's (good for $1,500) and the board reads...
C _ N S T A N T L _
C _ A N G I N G
C _ A N N E L S
I hope you're not CONSTANTLY CHANGING CHANNELS if you're rooting for Maggie; she's dominated this round for $8,250 cash and coffee package.
PERFECT ROUND!

...and the remaining consonants are worth $1,600 each. Fast-forward to an H request from somebody...
