go. Your first one. Easter
picnic. Waste
eggs. Eggs
is incorrect. With baskets. Picnic baskets.
Easter baskets. Waste baskets. Oh, man. People waste
eggs. They. That's true. If you can make a case, the producer will
give you in a point. But I think, I think you can only claim two
of the three. He's giving me the thumbs down. Good try though. We,
we do love a good argument on this show. All right, our next
one. Oh, are we stuck in with egg? I thought we were
still on the eggs, bricks and
carpet. What ties together
eggs? Bricks.
I don't know why chicken comes to head, but that has nothing to do with
carpet and bricks. So chickens can lay
bricks. They can lay carpets. They can lay eggs
on carpets and bricks. So my answer is
chickens. Oh, well,
the producer is going to give me a weird. I think
he's saying yes, you said all the right words. They are things that are
laid. Laid is correct. We'll give you the point for that one. You were right
there. A lot of times that's just nerves given that answer. But you
did say, you say all them could be laid. So here we go. Our
last one. Epic.

question. I'm going to give you the category name five
outdoor activities you can enjoy during this great
fall weather. And go
running.
Racquetball, pickleball,
jogging, not swimming. It's too cold. That's
it. I think you did gave seven. You cut out a lot. You
said I saw volleyball, racquetball, running.
Producer does confirm five. You ran the board on that one.
Five for five points. Let's take a look at that scoreboard and see how
our contestants are doing tonight. It is a very close game.
Only three points from first to third place. Karen is
leading the way right now with 10. Let's go to that
final round. And in this round, it's Going to
start off with a very vague question. Who am I? What am I?
Where am I? And I'm going to use these videos to reveal
some clues to you. Now, when you think you know it, you're going to
want to buzz in and try to get the points. Because if you buzz in
on the first clue, that's worth three points. If
you. If you buzz in on the second clue, that's worth
two points. And the last clue is worth one point. When you buzz
in and you're right, you're going to earn those points. But when you're
wrong, we're going to subtract those points. There's no
penalty. You can buzz in as many times as you want. You're not
locked out. So if you want to try to guess twice, you're
more than welcome to do that. And I've asked each of my
guests to bring their own buzzers. This is a favorite part of the show
because everybody's so creative. Let's start with Karen.
Karen, let's hear your buzzer.
You got the hotel bellhop buzzer. And to
Jennifer,
the DJ horn.

All right, so let's go to that first one. This will help you just, you
know, figure out how this round is played. And again, there's 30 points and

your way. Our first video question
tonight. What is it? I'm looking for a. What are you
buzzing in already? Wait, wait.
Are we testing buzzers or buzzing in? Now, before we get. Before I to
accept any of your buzzers, which I love, the enthusiasm.
I will say I will try to mislead you with the
pictures. The pictures will not always line up with
the question. So producer won't let me accept that without me telling you
that first. So let's go to the first. What? You've all been warned.
What is it? This is the first one. And you'll see on the
right side, you'll see a little timer coming down the sides. I'll tell you how
much time you have left for each clue. You can see the little timer. I
