On Monday, she took on a daylight engineer and stay-at-home day from Queens, New York, and a relationship marketing specialist and stay-at-home mom from Owings Mills, Maryland. Schlitt again emerged victorious, winning $15,400 and bringing her total to $43,000.

On Tuesday she again won, earning $21,200 in the match. Her total now is $64,200.
