First up is Mollie... She's going to need
five to take the lead.

Mollie made up for that big time suckout
with a big time sweep! That gives her 30!
Ashley is next. She needs 13 to take
the lead.

Give You Up"
Ashley gets Roll'd. She picks up 13 for
the lead and 31.
Brandi needs lucky 13 to tie.

Brandi tried... and got 14. She's moving
on with 33.

giving him 20, which is not enough! It's going to be Brandi and Ashley
in...
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Brandi will have the honor on the first
song, and the song is from 1997 by Tim McGraw. Brandi will PLAY.
- 1997, Tim McGraw, "Just to See You
Smile"
Brandi: "Just to see you smile / I'd
give anything that you..." It was "I'd DO
anything."
This could be Ashley's big chance at the
upset...
- 2006, The Wreckers, "Leave the Pieces"
Ashley: "And
if I go I don't know"... That's about right. "And it's alright,
yeah I'll be fine."
Brandi wants to redeem herself...
- 1976, Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson,
"Good-Hearted Woman"
Brandi: "She's a good hearted woman / In
love with a good timin' man / She loves me
in spite of my wicked..." "She loves HIM in
spite of HIS ways."
Last shot at it for Ashley...
- 1980, Eddie Rabbitt, "Driving My Life
Away"
Ashley: "Oooh I'm drivin' my life away /
Looking for a better day for me." Better
WAY. This is going to come down to a SUDDEN DEATH!
The song is from 2008... by Blake
Shelton. That's Ashley. "PLAY."
- 2008, Blake Shelton, "I'll Just Hold
On".
BAND: I could taste your kiss on my lips / and I'm wrapped around your
finger tips / as I watch the moonlight / dancing on your skin / Your
green eyes and the sweet red wine / Go to my head girl every time...
Ashley: "And I get drunk on you." WINNER!
This one went the distance, but Ashley's
about to go even farther. All she has to do is complete five songs
correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash money. Five is worth $10,000.
BUT, miss one and get a strike. Miss three... game over. But you do get
to take home any cash you win, so no excuse not to go for it. It's time
to play... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell / Invented a
contraption / that we know so well / By the 1950s they're in

telephone." THAT'S ONE!
