[MAIN THEME]Well, if it makes you feel better, Upside.com's going to shack all y'all up for a week, all expenses paid, at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and you'll each get a $500 Amazon gift card. Thanks for playing. When we come back, we'll have a new team. Be back in two and two. (cheers and applause) (fade to commercial)
(Now looking for five new players. If you want in, please PM me your name, hometown (or where you currently live), occupation, and an interesting fact)

Upside bundles the best flight and hotel options at a discounted price that saves your company money and scores you a big gift card to one of over 50 retailers. Visit upside.com, from the founder of Priceline.
(fade to set, cheers and applause) Greg: Welcome back to Greed. During the break, we were asking the important question "How much wood could Chuck Woolery chuck if Chuck Woolery could chuck wood?" (audience laughs) Here's your next team. (shot of Sam at Position #1) Burton: (VO) Sam Ryan.Sam: Wales, unemployed, and I used to collect video games and consoles, old and new, Japanese or English.(shot of Steven at Position #2) Burton: (VO) Steven Anderson.Matt: Plymouth, Massachusetts; food service leader, and I was Uncle Ernie in a production of The Who's TOMMY in 5th Grade.(shot of Kourtney at Position #3) Burton: (VO) Kourtney Wilson.Kourtney: Valdosta, GA; cashier for a national sandwich chain, I didn't get my driver's license until I was 25.(shot of Doug at Position #4) Burton: (VO) Doug Morris.

Well, any team that bombs out before the $500,000 level has its members put back in the contestant pool. Also, as a reminder, all winnings over $1,000,000 are paid in 10-year annuities. OK, guys, you know how this works. You're eight questions away from eight million dollars. Now, does anyone have any questions for me before we begin?

Well, it's basically any generation, 1980's, 1990's, early 2000's to nowadays.
And I also collect games in different languages.

Hiya, Steven. I understand you were fiddling a-bout, fiddling a-bout, fiddling about in the fifth grade. You do know Uncle Ernie's basically a pedophile, right?

It was something I'd find out when I'd see the 1976 theatrical version. Our production was heavily sanitized for our audience. My music teacher bought the rights to perform said rock opera by lending out equipment to Pete and Roger during a tour in Boston
