Now it's time to crown our big winner. Let's bring back our finalists - Mitch, who was playing Pokemon Go with his son and chased a Snorlax and found it at a wedding, and Virginia, who could totally handle dating Mr. Darcy.

(CHEERING)

EISENBERG: Puzzle guru Greg Pliska, take it away.

GREG PLISKA: Virginia and Mitch, your final round is called D-lightful. All the answers in this round are going to consist of two words, both of which start with D. For example, if I said a clue in "Jeopardy" where a contestant can wager their entire earnings, you would answer Daily Double. We're playing this round like a penalty shoot-out. You'll each get up to eight questions. The contestant who scores the most points will be our big winner, and your prize is an ASK ME ANOTHER Rubik's Cube autographed by Cat Cora herself...
