$ALE OF THE CENTURY [NBC]: Episode 59

[palmer7]

Well, Matt, it's a good thing you got that last Fame Game. You have a $100 Panera gift card, and $3,565 in cash. That's a total of $3,665 in cash and bread and soup, plus we'll have some parting gifts for you. I'm even going to write you a letter of recommendation so you can get a promotion. Good luck bagging and such. Matt Ringgenberg! (audience cheers)


Kourtney, what can I say? You were at $5 at one point, but you brought yourself back up to $15. I'm sorry we don't have any prizes for you here, but I will boost that $15 up to $25 plus give you those parting gifts. Good luck to you. Kourtney Cooke! (audience cheers)


Any of you wish to say anything before you leave?

[palmer7]

I guess not. Well, Evan Hatfield wins the night again, and he joins me over at the Winners' Board. Come on, Evan! Let's go!


(cheers and applause as Evan joins me at the doors)
(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(the doors open, and we enter the Winners' Board showroom)


Well, here we are at the showroom again. Evan, that was an excellent game, you bought two Instant Bargains and still had a commanding lead. Your thoughts, sir?

[Twentington]

I think my only big mistake was not buying the flying lessons, but I can't say I'm not pleased with how things are going!

[palmer7]

Right. Now, you've won another game, so you could pick this up.


(Tim and Al work on constructing furniture)




Burton: (VO) It's every D-I-Y's dream, a house full of IKEA furniture. You can choose your own ready-to-assemble furniture with this gift certificate. Enjoy their eco-friendly simplicity and enter a world of inspiration for your home. And your mother's home. And your best friend's home. And so on and so on. And so you can bribe your friends to build it for you, we're including $3,000 in cash! Furnished by IKEA. And this cash and prize package is worth....






(cheers and applause)

Greg: We just shot that a few days ago. It's amazing how fast things happen. And Evan, I have even better news. Your winning score was in three figures. So, we've hidden an Alfa Romeo logo up there. If you find the "WIN!" and the logo in that order, we'll give you the keys to these!


[WHERE'S THE WALRUS V2]

Burton: (VO) With a captivating mix of progressive technology, race-inspired performance and seductive styling, this pair of Alfa Romeo 4C Coupes thrills Alfa Romeo devotees, performance enthusiasts and car connoisseurs alike. Their carbon fiber monocoque chassis and other advanced lightweight technologies help put 4C performance into supercar territory. They come loaded with some of the most popular packages and options. This is supreme performance that can be experienced first-hand instead of admired from afar. And befitting a champion and cars of this caliber, a pair of diamond-studded platinum keychains worth a total of $5,000 from Germani Jewelers. Altogether, this prize package is worth....

Burton: (VO) It's not a car, it's an Alfa Romeo.


(audience cheers)

Greg: Thank you, again, Burton. Evan, we have two cards that say "WIN!", as you know. Whatever you pick after that is an automatic match. If you match those two "WIN!"s, you get a $10,000 cash bonus -- (audience cheers) -- and you get to pick again. Now, we also have a card that says "THE!", and another that says "LOT!"

Should you can find "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in *that* exact order, not necessarily the first three picked off the board, but in that *exact* order, you will win the Lot, which includes everything here in the showroom -- which includes the cars, your Personal Cash Jackpot, and this!


(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


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

(cheers and applause)



Greg: Excellent. Now, again, to win the cars, you must find the "WIN!" first, then the "ALFA ROMEO" symbol. Again, to win the lot, you must find "WIN!", "THE!" and "LOT!" in that exact order. Are you ready to go?

[Twentington]

Yes I am!

For the sake of moving this along, since I leave later today: [/4thwallbreak] 7, 12, 9, 5, 3 to start.

[palmer7]

Let's take a look at #7 first....




(ding)

That's the hot tub boat worth $25,000.


Evan: #12.


#12?




[WIN!]

(drumrolls)

The "WIN!" Card. Evan, if the next card is a prize, it's an automatic match. If it's another "WIN!", you get $10,000 and pick again. If it's "THE!", you're one step away from the Lot. Do you want to stick with your selection of #9?

[Twentington]

Yes I would.

[palmer7]

What's behind #9, then?

(fanfare)


A pen! But not just any pen. Here's Burton with more.


(Business executive Alec Baldwin writes something important with this pen.)





Burton: (VO) Evan, the Tantalum Gravity fountain pen is especially created to honor your signatures for those very special moments in your life. The power and value of the Gravity will emphasize the importance of these moments. Made out of massive Tantalum with an 18 karat gold nib, the Gravity will be a highlight on your secretary desk. Furnished by JamesEdition. And this prize is worth....

(cheers and applause)


Greg: But still, no car. Where was everything else, Stace?

Stacey: The Alfa Romeo was behind #14, "THE!" behind #2, and "LOT!" at #8. There was also another "WIN!" at #5.

(fanfare)

[palmer7]

Well, maybe you can win it tomorrow night. The longer you're here, the better your chances. Now, right this way, please. (we walk over to the 10-in-a-Row desk, I lift up the laptop lid)

OK, we're going to be playing 10-in-a-Row. You know how this works, Evan.  I ask you 10 questions, you have three seconds to answer each one. Right answer moves you up the ladder, wrong answer or pass knocks you back down to $0. After ten questions, whatever level you're at is the amount we add to the pot.

Ay yi yi. That was a bit harder, I'll admit. Still, you didn't miss that last one and that's all that counts. Hey, $15,000 added to your P-C-J is better than a kick in the head, am I right?

[palmer7]

Because you could win it tomorrow night. Evan, in the three or four nights you've been here, you've won a total of....

$80,579 in cash and prizes. (audience cheers, Tim and Richard join Stacey and me) We'll have two new challengers for you tomorrow night. Stay tuned now for Hollywood Game Night next on NBC. Special thanks to Tim Allen, Richard Karn, and Debbe Dunning! (audience cheers for them) Until then, keep smiling, and bye for now! (the four of us start waving)
