Merry Christmas Eve everyone, and stay safe today and tomorrow!

Here are today's contestants!
Ben Fong-Torres is from San Francisco, CA. Over the past two days, he has won $55,403. He shouts out his family and wife, Ann.

). She is a speech pathologist with four cats.
Doug Van Whee is from Cheshire, CT. He is married to his wife, Shern, has two boys, and is a quality manager for a major high-carbon coral still streadmill, if my hearing is right.
