Lea Anne	Michael	Bob
	$1,650	$4,800

Lea Anne admits she realized the answer just a bit too late. Because of that, she only gets the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

A delayed reaction can make all the difference, and because of that, Bob is the big winner.

It's time for Bob to win either a pair of watches or a European dream vacation.

Bob picks the middle E. Now he must solve another puzzle:

Not a typo, but "I accidentally left the three-and-a-vowel unchanged again". It was actually CDMI.
