Winner: Mark $59,000

Jane Lynch: Congratulations, Mark, you are tonight’s Strongest Link and you leave here with $59,000. Well, Mary, they say all good things come to an end but, in your case, nothing good happened at all.
Mary: I had no strategy coming into this game except when it got towards the end, when it became much more competitive. I think Mark is a worthy winner, French fries or not.

It sure seemed like there might have been another tie-breaker question if those the last 2 questions were reversed. Mary’s No. 6 was tough so there was a chance Mark wouldn’t know that one. Mary was so sure Mark was wrong about the railroad, she definitely would have blown that one.
