11:33So let's do our nightly triple toss-up.
11:35Food and drink is the category.
11:37Here's the first of our three puzzles.
11:49Rosemary.
11:50Cotton candy.
11:51I knew you'd get something here.
11:54Maybe you'll get some more, because here's the second one.
12:02Edmar.
12:03No, everybody else now.
12:05Lauren.
12:06Corn on the cob.
12:08Yeah, she gets a two.
12:11Well, at least $2,000 up for grabs.
12:13Here's our third one.
12:19Edmar.
12:20Candy corn?
12:21Yeah, that's it.
12:22I think we got the idea.
12:24Well, everybody gets $2,000.
12:26That's nice.
12:27Thing, the category for this next round.
12:29Edmar, you got the last one, so you get to spin first.
12:39And now you have to stop spinning for now.

13:09$700.
13:10T.
13:12Two Ts.
13:15Spinning away.
13:17Well, this would be a really good time to find a letter or two.

13:22You know what?
13:23There's no N.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:25Lauren.

14:19Well, it was a very tight match.
14:21You're ahead now, just barely, over Edmar.
14:23You have $14,500, and we have time for another round.
14:27Let's have a look at the puzzle.
14:29The category is Living Things.
14:33And, Rosemary, it's your turn to start.
14:35That time means time running a little short, so give it a final spin for us, if you would.
14:38Let's add $1,000 to see the consonants to be worth.
14:40That'll be $1,600.
14:42Again, it's Living Things.

15:45You know what?
15:46You're the big winner.
15:47$17,700.
15:49Some people call them fireflies.
15:50I think it depends where you're born and all that.

18:33We had that lightning bugs puzzle, and I said it depends where you're from, because I know
18:36a lot of people call them fireflies.
18:37I'm from Chicago.
18:38I call them lightning bugs, and in the South, you call them?
18:40Lightning bugs.
18:41You like them.
18:42I love them.
18:43My brother and I grew up, we would go outside and capture them in a jar and watch them for
18:47hours, you know, put them holes in there, watch them, and then we'd let them go, and
18:51it was just awesome.
18:52Very nice.
18:53I taught mine to dance.
18:54Really?
18:55With the light, it was great.
18:56Anyway, we'll see you next time for more lightning bugs.
