Category: THING
This 12-letter answer starts out as...
_ _ R _ _ E
_ _ N _ S _
CDMA gives her...
C _ R _ M E
_ _ N _ S _
She doesn't put on this CHROME FINISH (she only had the first word right), so she's the LOWEST MAINGAME WINNER OF THE SEASON w/ $8,650...
...and she gives back $30,000. Definitely NOT the way to start this month of shows.
