Time's up, and we have a tie! James and Jon, you are tied at $90. Whew! However, only one of you can have the trip to Zurich. I will ask a question. Steven, don't even think about buzzing in. If you buzz in and you're right, we add $5 to your score and you go to Zurich. If you're wrong, you lose $5 and your opponent goes to Switzerland.


Audience, no coaching, please.

(audience cheers)



Greg: Congratulations, Jon. You have the lead at the end of this first game. However, with $20 separating all three players at this point, the pressure will be on. Gentlemen, I invite all three of you to come shopping with me!


(all three get up and join me as we walk through the doors)
("Let's Go Shopping" cue plays to cheers and applause)



Well, here they are. Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on the match?

[jmdarrall]

What a close match! I know I have two formidable opponents, and if today's match was any indication, we can only imagine what tomorrow's match will be like! I wish the two of you the best!

[Deleted]

Thank you Jon. I'm disappointed I didn't win the trip. But have fun in Switzerland friend.

[asja2002]

Well played match,gentlemen. Can't wait for part two tomorrow night. Enjoy Zurich, Jon. Does anyone have a Neil Sedaka album to listen to?

[Deleted]

Nope, I do not. Btw Steven, James Taylor was going to be my first guess.

[jmdarrall]

My first guess, too!

[palmer7]

Indeed, well said. Now, the one of you with the highest combined score at the end of tomorrow night will win these three prizes fit for kings. First, so you may be well-traveled, this cruise around the world!

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


Shadoe: (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.......


$218,160



Greg: And finally, a prize befitting a champion of champions!


(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


Shadoe: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!





Greg: That's a total of....

$1,477,483


in cash and prizes. Plus, an extra opportunity we will get to tomorrow night. However, it's now time for our special musical guests. They're three of England's biggest stars on the pop charts, and they were involved in a love triangle. That saga began with "Don't", then "On My Mind". Now, we intend to end it with a cover of a song that
went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #15 on the Hot 100. With "What About Me?", here are Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, and One Direction's Niall Horan!


(Wild Cheers and applause as the spotlights shine on them.)


[“What About Me?”
Written by Kenny Rogers, David Foster, and Richard Marx
Performed by Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, and Niall Horan]



Niall:
I see you here with me
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Someone to give
My heart and soul to


Ellie:
I look into your eyes
Your love for me
Was such a welcome surprise
I think at last
I've found forever



Ed:
But what about me?
(Ellie/Niall: I'll always love you)
Oh, what about me?
(Ellie/Niall: I'll always need you)
You were my love before
But I need so much more of you



Ellie/Ed/Niall:
Time after time, I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time


Ellie:
What am I gonna do?


Niall:
What about me?


Ed:
Oh, what about me?


Ed:
No reason to pretend
True love affairs don't
Have to come to an end


Ed/Ellie:
The moment we don't


Ed:
Have all the answers


Ellie:
I nearly go insane
(Ed: Oh, I go insane)
Each and every time
I hear you whisper my name

Ed:
I feel the same

Ed/Ellie:
When I'm around you

(Niall: But what about me?)
I'll always love you
(Niall: Oh, what about me?)
I'll always need you


Niall:
This is so hard for me
I wanted so much to be with you
Whoa


The drums kick in.


Ellie/Ed/Niall:
Time after time, I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time


Ellie:
What am I gonna do?





Ellie/Ed/Niall:
Time after time
I'm losing my mind


It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time



Ellie:
But what about, me?




(cheers and applause)

[palmer7]

Ah, that was marvelous. Well done, all three of you. Now, when does the single come out?


Ellie: Today.


Greg: And we'll be looking forward to hearing it on the radio. Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, and Niall Horan. (audience cheers as they bow) Join us tomorrow night for the exciting conclusion. Now, stay tuned for the season finale of Strong. For Shadoe, Stacey, and everyone else here, thanks for watching. Keep smiling, and bye for now! (I give the Dick Clark Salute, Shadoe walks out on stage and joins everyone, as do the Carmichael Show cast, Drew Carey, Emma Bunton, Pete Smith, and Bill Cosby)
