$100K Bonus Round

Another Ford Bronco Sport is on offer (this one’s red unlike the gray one from Wheel Across America). After we see her husband Rodney, she lands on what’s under the S of AMERICA’S. Lead-offs…

HMGA gives her…

H A N _ _ _ _ _ E _

She doesn’t quite eat up some HANDPICKED VEGGIES (she got all but the second half of the first word), so she loses $40K.
