Matt solves ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN ? and stops himself before filling in the blank. Once the puzzle is revealed, he'll take the 200.
Now is the time to say words.
To think, if he went all the way, Matt wouldn't have been able to take a Pilivuyt dinnerware set, an Ug gas heater, or a Flymo mulcher/mower from us!
Now is the time to pick the mower.

Peter solves RED KANGAROO to stop the sweep.
It's tempting to leap towards one of these three prizes, but we'll be the ones to show an Apollo cabin bed, a Zepter cookware set, and a Raymond Weil lady's watch to Peter.
And he'll accept a lady's watch as a good husband.
