Soria eventually got on the board by answering two out of the three Triple Toss-ups correctly, wrapping up his appearance with $11,600 after figuring out the last puzzle, “Going to Pilates.” Fasano finished the game with $7,200, leaving Robin as the ultimate victor with her $21,050, which advanced her to the Bonus Round under the “Phrase” category.
The controversy sparked during the interview segment of the Bonus Round. When Seacrest inquired about the most recent mystery Robin had figured out, she referenced a Dateline episode about a vanished young woman murdered by her boyfriend. Seacrest reacted with a cautionary quip: “Be careful of those boyfriends. Watch out!” He proceeded to ask Robin’s twin sister, Rosalyn, whether she was dating anyone. Upon her answering “No” and jokingly wiping her forehead in relief, Seacrest replied, “Smart.”
