Another chance for Ashley with...

Ashley: "You're gonna miss this / You're gonna want this back / You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast / These are some good times /
So take a good look around / You may not know it now / But you're gonna miss this" Horribly offkey, but she is correct and in the driver's seat.

Patrick needs this...

- 1990, Garth Brooks, "The Thunder Rolls"

Patrick: "Thunder rolls, the thunder"... And Ashley outlasts the guys to win!

Can she seal the deal, though? Seven songs, each one worth $500. Get five before you get three strikes, and you're $10,000 richer.

It's time... for the FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Song #1: Johnny you rosin up your bow / and play your fiddle hard / 'Cos hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards / And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold...

Song #4: This love has taken its toll on me / She said goodbye / too many times before /

(2002, Maroon 5, "This Love")

$1000 X X  
Song #5: Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup / Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth /
It's neither drink nor drug induced / No I'm just...
