Assuming Connie did this while in Ft. Thomas, that would probably be the Florence (KY) Mall, known for a water tank visible from the interstate that reads "Florance Yall"

I'm surprised that with five children she had to use a lifeline on this one.

Mother of five and a Children''s Author, and she does not know "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"!?!

Very interesting.

Very interesting.

I wondering if the smuggling distractor gave some people (including the contestant) the idea that manstealing was used to charge human smugglers (people smuggling in humans to a country not smugglers who are humans).
