In the midst of a lively celebration, the music caught on host Seacrest50, who looked visually surprised to be caught up in the moment.
Brown has just guessed correctly a puzzle in the Phrases category. The three-word phrase “As you wish” was difficult, and the letters chosen allowed Brown to guess the puzzle “AS / _ _ _ / _ _ S _”.

I can win a trip to Rome. And to all my family and friends at home… The feeling I feel right now is the best, I relax with bathtub (white) and Ryan Seacrest.”
