Now it's time to crown our big winner. Let's bring back our finalists. Allen, the mayor of a rabbit burrow, and Lisa, the scientist who says you shouldn't pick your nose.

(APPLAUSE)

EISENBERG: Puzzle guru Art Chung, take it away.

ART CHUNG: Lisa and Allen, your final round is called Double, Double. In this game, every answer will contain multiple sets of double letters, just like the state you're in, Tennessee. We're going to play this round like a penalty shootout. You'll each get up to eight questions. The contestant who scores the most points will be our big winner. Your prize is an ASK ME ANOTHER Rubik's Cube, autographed vinyl and CD copies of Martina McBride's album "Reckless" and a T-shirt of Nashville, the city, signed by Connie Britton.

(APPLAUSE)

CHUNG: We flipped a coin backstage, and Lisa is going first. Remember, every answer has at least two sets of double letters in them. Here we go. Lisa, it's a coffee drink made with espresso and hot milk - three seconds.
