Kitty solves JUST TEASING.

BONUS ROUND:
After that touchdown, Karla wants even more! We take her to Bonus Land to look at...
Island vacation (over $41,000)
Decorators' showcase ($49,060)
His-and-hers Toyotas
Earrings ($43,000)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
She had a number of things to think about...or maybe she'll just play for the obvious.
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
The answer to this puzzle might not be so clear.
