- WATCH OUT! (TV/movies)
- KNOW IT ALL (general knowledge)
Kaitlin goes with "Watch Out!" But before she
goes on the Xcelerator, here is a funnel cake. Eat it in 30 seconds, and you get
$100 no matter what. She... doesn't. Folks... You eat a funnel cake like you
mean it.
And now.. the question. Remember, the more
Kaitlin names, the more she earns.

finalists from any season as possible.
- Kelly Clarkson - $50

That's five for $750, giving her a total of
$1100! But now comes the hard park. Will she go for double or half on the Bonus?
She's going for it!
For $2200 for $550...
WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE SEQUEL TO THE MOVIE
"BRUCE ALMIGHTY"?
She... doesn't know. It was "Evan Almighty." No
victory ride and no doubler, meaning that Kaitlin leaves with $550. But still...
we launch the ride anyway, because we're nice like that.
Back next with with more sick rides, more
boggling questions, and more cash money. Until then... Thank you for riding the
Brainrush, and enjoy the rest of your day.
