Brian's choices are P, D, H and A...
S E _ _ N D
_ H _ _ _ E
His first guess of SECOND CHANCE is an obvious no-no (the audience applauded prematurely when he said that), but his SECOND CHOICE nets him another $30,000! He leaves with $41,000 cash and prizes! Feeding America's charity total is now at $197,500; one more BR win will break the $200,000 barrier!
