Welcome to another DoND USA recap. If you haven't read the recap for the last episode (the Christmas episode), you should have. It featured back-to-back OPWs, something that has not happened on the US version in Lord knows how long. Thus, we're now on a two-game OPW streak.

The contestant who will be trying to keep the streak alive tonight is Davon Clark. He's a huge Los Angeles Lakers fan, and you know what happens when DoND has someone has someone who is a fan of something as a contestant. Davon's also got a shot at winning $2 million, something that has been done on many a US version episode this season.

Davon has elected to go with Case 24 as his case. 24 also happens to be the jersey number of the Lakers' star player - and Davon's favorite -, Kobe Bryant. With that in mind, let the tournament commence!
