After incorrectly guessing MAKE A HOOT, we're all gonna GIVE A HOOT[/b] about her $35,000 win! She leaves with $57,165 cash and train trip! Rebuilding Together's bank is now at $7,500!
I wish she would have been the third $100,000 winner this season, though, because the last time this puzzle was used, it caused the second $100K loss of Season 25.
