Greg: And that's not all. Jon Darrall, let's go shopping!


(Let's Go Shopping cue plays as Jon joins me in the Shopping Area)
(the doors open to cheers and applause as we walk inside)


Well, Jon, that was a close match. A very close match, a veritable horse race, I would say. Your thoughts on the match, sir?

[jmdarrall]

That was very close, indeed, Greg. It was an honor to go up against two fine champions, and it will be a privilege to go up against two more in the Finals.

[palmer7]

Greg: Well, you are guaranteed at least $50,000 because that's third place prize. Second place is $100,000..... but first place gets you three fantastic prizes. First, so you may be well-traveled, this cruise around the world!



(the models and Stacey wave goodbye and throw confetti off this ship)





Burton: (VO) Say "Bon Voyage" as you take this cruise around the world!



















You and a guest will fly from Los Angeles to London, England, where you will spend six nights at The Langham London. Then, you'll travel to Southhampton where you'll board the decadent Queen Mary 2 for a 118-night World Voyage in a Queens Suite.









The majestic scenery of southern Africa and an extended acquaintance with Australia lie either side of the Indian Ocean, before the dazzling diversity of Asia illuminates your route towards Arabia, the Mediterranean and home again! All the while, you'll be treated like royalty. Then, you'll spend another six nights in London! Cunard will also give you each $1,500 to spend on board. We're also including $15,000 in cash for incidentals and airfare! Furnished by Cunard Cruises. And this vacation is worth....













$259,323





Greg: And second, so you may travel well, this luxury car!





[CAR CUE]

The refined 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivers a heart-stopping 570 horsepower, going from 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds. We've also included a plethora of features to make this the ultimate force on the road. From Porsche! It's a prize worth.......

Greg: All in all, that's a total of....



$1,477,483


$1,477,483 in cash and prizes. Plus, you'll have a special opportunity to pick up more. What do you think of all that?

[jmdarrall]

Holy crow, Greg! I think that's awesome! It's an honor just to get this far, though.

[palmer7]

Oh, well thank you so much. It's an honor to have you make it this far as well. Now, you have earned the honor, privilege, right, and responsibility of playing Ten-in-a-Row for up to $50,000. So please follow me.





(we walk over to the 10-in-a-Row area, I open up my laptop)

(fade to Greg at lectern)



Greg: Well, we have another death to report. Reg Grundy, the man whose logo you see at the end of each show, has died at the age of 92. Reg once compared selling game shows to the United States and keeping the rights to “selling ice to the Eskimos then selling them fridges so they have to keep the ice supply going”. He was a pioneer in both Australian and American television. $ale was one of the first successful daytime game shows to be produced by an international company. He is survived by his second wife of 45 years, actress Joy Chambers. I had an opportunity to speak to Reg before this show debuted. Tony Barber warned me I'd have a rough time with him, but I think Reg mellowed out in his old age.


You'll be missed, Reg. I don't know by whom, but you will be missed.






(the logo rotates in the usual way)


Burton: (VO) Sale of the Century is a Reg Grundy Production.
