⬥ A: Nurses
⬥ B: Anything But Love

Regis saying "condom" caused much hilarity for the audience. On a more serious note, Todd didn't know, so he decided to ask the Three Wise Men: Nancy Christy, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Anthony DeCurtis (who were also very surprised at the question). Nancy thought it was C, but that was just a best guess. So, Todd decided to use the Double Dip, answering D first, but it was wrong; then he went with C (which the audience had laughed at earlier), and got it right, winning $500,000.
REGIS: Final?
TODD: YES! Herman's Head, final!
REGIS: The man says Herman's Head... Nancy Christy was RIGHT! It's Herman's Head!!
TODD: WHOO!!
REGIS: HE'S JUST WON
