Time! 48 hours is my time limit, I'm afraid. We have to count that as a wrong answer, so you lose $2,000 (Audience awwwws). What are you worried about, audience? He's still leading by nearly $10,000. He also gets to choose the next subject. By the way, the answer was A CHEETAH. Choose the next subject.
