Near Slip-Up and Big Wins

Things weren’t all smooth. During one puzzle, Asrat guessed “Someone’s Watching Me” but quickly corrected herself to “Somebody’s Watching Me.” That win scored her a vacation to Cabo San Lucas.

She kept her momentum in the Mystery Round. Taking a risk on the Mystery Wedge, Asrat won $10,000 by solving “Egg on Your Face Lift.” That pushed her total winnings to $23,900 — way ahead of her competitors.

Jessica Beasley had her moment too. She solved the Prize Puzzle, “The Perfect Temperature,” winning a trip to Hawaii and a Wild Card, bringing her total to $12,319. Meanwhile, Monroe, a retired Marine, got on the board with “Dollar Signs” and $3,200.

The Hilarious Bonus Round Flub

Asrat led with $33,900 and advanced to the Bonus Round. That’s when things got funny.

She picked the category “What Are You Doing?” and chose letters R, S, T, L, N, E plus G, H, C, and I. The puzzle appeared:
C_ _SING _N _ R _R.

With the timer ticking down, Asrat blurted:

“Cursing in… Cursing, cursing, cursing and—”

She couldn’t quite finish the phrase.

Ryan Seacrest couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“It’s like you’re desperate to say a bad word here,” he joked.

The correct answer? “Causing an Uproar.”

“Sometimes you get stuck on a word and can’t shake it,” Seacrest added as Asrat laughed it off.

A Big Win and a Memorable Moment

Though Asrat missed out on the $40,000 prize, she still walked away with nearly $34,000. More importantly, she gave viewers a moment they won’t forget.
