Next up, apps for texting? Well, those he's used.
But an old-fashioned mailbox has this youngster confused.
It's "Snail Mail Fail,"
sent in by Barbara Young from Detroit, Michigan.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Woman: Kayden. Girl: Kayden. Mom, let me show him.
[ Laughing ] Let me show him. Let me show him.
No. Kayden. No. Pull it down. [ Laughs ]
Pull it down, son. [ Laughs ]
Oh, gosh. No, put it inside.
Yeah, put it in there. Yup. [ Laughs ]
Joining us are Barbara, Anthony, and Kayden.
Now, listen, first of all, Kayden, I don't think
most 11-year-olds know how to use a mailbox,
so don't feel bad, alright?
And, Barbara, I understand the reason why Kayden was concerned
was because he thought this was somebody's personal mailbox.
Yes, he did, because the mailbox was placed
right on the corner in front of someone's house.
[ Laughs ]
Did he think you were pranking him?
I think a little bit. But he really thought
we were just breaking the law.
But, listen, if you win, you know what?
We're going to wire you the money
so that we don't have to deal with the mail, okay?
[ Laughs ] Thank you.
Okay. Good luck, guys.
And finally, all she wanted were some fashionable spots.
Instead, a face like a raccoon is what she got.
It's "Heckled by Freckles," sent in by Ashley Smith
from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
So, I saw this product at -- I actually saw it on TikTok --
to give yourself fake freckles.
Looks like this.
Ribeiro: I can't wait to see these do-it-yourself freckles.
Okay, let's see.
[ Laughter ]
Joining us are Ashley, Jimmy, and Nola.
Now, Ashley, you saw people do this makeup trick
on the Internet, and they promised you freckles.
What went wrong?
Yeah, so apparently you're not supposed to shake the can.
I wasn't given that memo, and I shook it three times.
Wow. Okay. Alright. I can see how that could happen.
You see those cans, you want to shake it.
But you know what? You're making me think
not everything on the Internet can be trusted.
Yes, exactly.
Whoo. Wow. Exactly.
Crazy. Good luck, guys.
Alright. We're going to find out
who takes home the cash in just a minute.
But first, let's take a look at some of the clips
that didn't make our top three
in tonight's "Honorable Mention."

[ Cheers and applause ]
He is gone!
Congratulations.
Now, I heard that a neighbor gave Spencer those donuts.
Yes, yes. So what was your reaction when you found that out?
I won! [ Roars ]
It was our very good friend, a neighbor,
and I was not impressed because they were chocolate,
and I thought, "This kid does not need any more sugar."
But, now, I also understand that it was the same neighbor
that told you guys to send your video to "AFV," right?
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know,
maybe buy her a donut with some of your winnings.
Oh, yes. Yeah, we're going to give her a few donuts. Oh, yeah.
There you go. Alright. Well, congratulations.
Thank you so much. You've got $20,000
and a shot at $100,000.

Awesome, guys. Awesome.

Thank you!
