(echo)



And now, it's good evening to Cameron Shields!!

(I walk out from behind the doors, and take my place at the main podium)

Thankyou Peter, and welcome to Sale. We've got a great champ on our hands on at the moment, and we'll meet him in just a moment, but firstly, here's Karina Brown!

(Karina walks out from behind the Fame Game board)

Me: How are you enjoying Sam's exploits thus far?
Karina: I'm really enjoying seeing him pick up all these great prizes, and I hope he goes all the way.
Me: Well, we might as well introduce him right now.

Karina: Certainly, this is Sam Hodkin, of Lancashire, England. Last night was another impressive win for Sam, with a score of $130. He joins us for his fourth night, risking prizes valued at $79,500.

Me: Welcome back Sam. I'm just checking with our statisticians out the back, and I believe that's a record amount of prizes that anyone has picked up by their fourth night. Do you feel nervous at all returning with so much riding on a win or a loss?

[hodders]

Add the Vault cash from night one and it's six figures. It's unnerving, but worth it.

[Shieldsy100]

Well, you seem calm but confident. Karina, would you please introduce Sam's challengers for the show please?

Karina: Certainly, our first contestant is a communications media graduate from Durham, North Carolina, please welcome Greg Palmer! And our second contestant is an accountant from Long Island, New York, please welcome Kevin Kolsen!

(audience applauds)

Welcome gentlemen, please tell the folks at home a bit about yourself.

[palmer7]

Well, Cameron, it's great to finally get out of the country. I gotta say, I saw the promos on TV in my hotel room, and I am psyched for the new season of Big Brother Australia! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Hi, my name is Greg Palmer. I have a Bachelor's degree in communication media from North Carolina State University (GO WOLFPACK!), but it's not doing me a bit of good. I'm unemployed. I hope to win enough money here so I can go to the Gold Coast in time for Launch Night.

[koopakid17]

Hello, I'm Kevin Kolsen. I'm a graduate of St. John's University with a B.S. in Accounting. I've been working for a small firm for about three years now and when I'm not doing taxes, I like video games, game shows and writing fan-fiction. I'm hoping maybe to win some nice prizes here.

Sam: $20
Greg: $20
Kevin: $20

Me: Alright, we'll see you later, Karina. Just a reminder Sam, you're risking just shy of $80,000 by coming back tonight, so to you, and our challengers, good luck. Here we go....

Alright, and it's Instant Bargain Time, and we've got a good game on our hands at the moment. Kevin, you have $30 to spend here with Karina, so let's see what she has to offer you.



Karina: Kevin, your game room will get a lot more enjoyable with this great new pool table. This 8ft straight pool table comes complete with deluxe accessory kit, including balls and pool cues. This will make all your social gatherings perfect. Normally priced at
$1,700
but tonight it's a striking
$6
From Mizerak, and Sale of the Century.

Me: Alright now Kevin, that is a very nice table. It is very early in the game, and since I'm such a nice guy, I'll drop the price to $5, so if you buy it, we'll have a 3-way tie. Would you like to take my generous offer?

[koopakid17]

Wow, driving a hard bargain...but I'm going to have to pass on this.

[Shieldsy100]

Alright Kevin, this is my final offer. I'm going to drop it down to $4, and throw in $500 cash. You'll still be in the lead if you take it so would you possibly reconsider my offer now?

[palmer7]

I think what he meant to say, Kevin, is "Going once.... going twice....." (audience shouts suggestions)

[koopakid17]

$4 you say? ...I'll be a pushover just this once. Deal!

[Shieldsy100]

Alright, Kevin's taking the Sale! This drops his score back down to $26, as we hop back into the questions.

THE VAULT IS OPENED

Alright, that was a good round for everyone, but especially Sam, you've now hit the front on $55, which means you can enter the Vault. You have a $19 lead over Kevin, so if you give up $15 to enter the Vault, you'll still be in the lead. Do you want to take the chance?

[hodders]

It's tempting I can't lie, but with the near $40k in Vault cash I have win or lose, I'd be greedy to add to it, no thanks.

[Shieldsy100]

Alright, so Sam's not taking the chance, and he remains in the lead on $55, as we get back to Round 2 questions.

1. Polo is played outdoors on horseback between two teams of HOW many players
2. Starting with "M" is what word meaning to change from one thing into another, for example, a caterpillar into a butterfly?
3. What is both a small sliver of silver, and a number used to identify someone, often used on credit cards?
4. A pioneering heavy metal song is Steppenwoolf’s, “Born to Be WHAT”?
