Jeremy Ziegler: Coast Guard vet who was stationed in Honolulu and was a volunteer for the new WWII memorial at Pearl Harbor; he’s also a power lifter like Ryan from Thurmont, MD

$100K Bonus Round
After we see Jenny’s hubby Cliff and son Kyle (the latter is stationed at Minot AFB in North Dakota), she lands on the I of AMERICA’S. Stingy RSTLNE help…
_ / _ _ _ _ _ L
_ _ _
I can unfortunately say the same thing for MPDO…
_ / _ O _ _ _ L
_ _ _
She gives a great guess of A JOYFUL BOY, but there’s just one O, and it isn’t A WOEFUL BOY, either. Ryan, who’s A JOVIAL GUY, won’t be awarding the Chevrolet Colorado to this lady, and she’s going down as the lowest-winning champ this season.
During breaks, the hosts take questions from the audience. And one such example is a boy named Easton who asks if he can take Vanna out to dinner (LOL!). We see him on stage w/ the hosts, but we don’t see Jenny joining them.
MY RATING: 4
