Ana solves MARIACHI BAND-AIDS.
It's our Mystery Round, and two of everything would be perfect for John. The problem is that one of our spaces has a BANKRUPT under it. Only the other has a Hyundai Accent worth $11,934.

Nearly a sweep for Ana. Rita got lucky with that Toss-Up, but John is now leaving with the $500 consolation prize. (Pat almost said $1,000, and he also says the producer nearly keeled over.)

She has her boyfriend in the audience!
