The New Split Second - Episode 4

ME: Got 'em all! (Applause as I shake Lenny's hand) Three-for-three, champ. That means we will eliminate three bad cars. Let's review all the cars again...

COROLLA LE CVT
EIGHTY SIX
RAV4
TACOMA
YARIS

ME: Note that each is on a lighted platform and has the name on the screen behind it. One at a time, we'll shut off three of the cars. Let's eliminate the first one...now! (Switch off effect is heard as the screen behind the EIGHTY SIX goes black and the lights beneath it go black)

COROLLA LE CVT

ME: And the second one....now! (Switch off effect as the camera switches to the COROLLA LE CVT)

ME: There you go. Your key belongs to either the RAV4 SUV or the YARIS liftback. Which one would you like to play for?

(Audience yells suggestions)

[redrangerdude]

I'll go for the RAV4.

[jmdarrall]

ME: An excellent choice.  Let's take you up to the RAV4 now as Brian tells us about it!

(Car cue plays as Lenny and I walk up the displays to the very top. As Brian describes the car, Lenny sits in the front seat and puts the key in the ignition.)

BRIAN: The Toyota RAV4 LE front-wheel drive SUV is as stylish on the road as it is rugged off the road. Comes with a 2.5 liter 176 HP engine and all standard features, including 6-speed automatic transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, steel wheels, independent suspension, traction and stability controls, heated front seats, power features, and AM/FM/CD. Including all fees, this car is worth...

$29,290

BRIAN: Good luck, Lenny!

ME: Thanks, Brian. Lenny, I know you're ready to see if you've won this beautiful SUV. On the count of 3, I want you to turn that key. If the car starts, it's yours and you leave here an undefeated champion! If not, you're going to come back tomorrow and get a nice consolation prize. Either way, you can't lose. Ready? (Lenny gives the thumbs up) Man of few words - I like it (Laughter)! Audience, help me out...

(Drumroll plays)

ME AND THE AUDIENCE: ONE.....TWO.....THREE!

(Lenny turns the key....REVREVREVREVREV......)


























































VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

(Last guitar riffs of the theme play as Lenny reacts with surprise.  The lights beneath the car flash as the screen behind it reads...)

WIN!

ME: He did it (Applause)!  First try, he won the car!  Come on out, Lenny! (Lenny smiles as he gives me a big hug)  You've been a great champion, and you deserve this beautiful car, no question about it.  That car, combined with the $3,025 cash you've won today, means you are leaving here undefeated with...

$32,315

(Theme starts)

ME: Two shows in a row, two car winners in a row.  Can we go three-for-three?  We'll find out as three new competitors take on the challenge in our next episode of...

(Lightning crash)
