Hello and welcome to our last $100,000 episode of the season.
Tonight, one lucky family will walk away
with a six-figure payday
and the other nine will have to do that thing where they say,
"It's an honor just to be nominated"
and then pretend to be happy for the winner.
Well, nobody watching at home needs to be
pretend happy for anyone else, just
actual happy for yourselves,
because with all the great videos on tonight's show,
we're all winners.
I mean, we won't all win 100 grand, though.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. There's no way to sugarcoat that.

plus three cats on the porch
equals nobody anywhere near the porch.
