SR&BL'S Gameshow Marathon Episode 2 (NBC & TBS)

[Deleted]

Episode 2/6
First Elimation Round

Gameshow Marathon time, although Bryan told me he couldn't do any prizes for this episode, I'll have a go at providing the prizes.

We need Matt and James to sign up first, we need a replacement for Hunter as he's gone (Until further notice).

The one who wants to have a go, can decide to change Hunter's charity which is at the moment: Autism Speaks or stick with it, please note that when you PM me your name.

The gameshow this time? Well, I bet you know it.

From this episode on, one player will be out of the tourment, so in this episode and the next, the two highest scoring players move on.

So who wants to play against Matt and James?

And now we need a replacement contestant to fill Hunter's place. If you want to play Gameshow Marathon, please PM me your name and charity (if you want to stick with Autism Speaks, you can, just note that in your PM). If we have more than one person wanting to play against Matt and James, a random selection will take place and be annouced before the show begins.

Sam: No, that's impossible! But gameshows of the past as well, as today, folks, before we begin our next gameshow, Hunter as you remember from last time, has dropped out of the tourarment early.
(Audience groans)

Bryan: But we found a replacement and is playing for which charity, Sam?
Sam: American Red Cross and is the host of the long running net game version of Sale of the Century: Greg Palmer!

(echo)


Here's your hosts: Bryan Law and Sam Ryan!

(We enter the set through the diamond door, I look around in amazement)

Sam: Wow, look how they recreated the 2000's set! (to the audience) What do you think?

(Cheering)

Bryan: I thought you would, Sam, would mind if I get outta here to set up some bargains?

Sam: Why not! I'm going to the lecturn to meet our contestants!

(Applause as Bryan goes to the diamond door and I head to the lecturn.)




Sam: They've recreated the early 2000 set of the australian version, very good if I say so, let's meet our contestants!




Sam: They are Matt, Greg and James!

(applause)

So, Greg, I gotta ask, how do you feel sitting at the contestant's desk while I'm over here with the questions?

[palmer7]

Well, I got called at the last minute to sit in for Hunter, and when I found out this would be one of the games, I decided to join in. I didn't win last time, but I hope to do so tonight. Bring it!

[Deleted]

Bring it, he says, but can he bring the win to his charity?

We'll find out sooner or later, let's not waste any more time chatting, let's start playing, 20 to start.

(The board initalizes)


You know how $ale works by now, add 5 for a correct answer, lose 5 for a wrong answer.

Here's your first five questions of Round 1:

4: The British version of 'Match Game' was called: Blankety Blank, who first hosted the programme from 1979 until 1983?
5: In golf, how do you get a Turkey?

Three birdies in a row, that's the first five questions done.

(Instant Bargain cue)
Matt, you have $25, you can have a go at buying this instant bargain, Bryan, what have you got?

(BGM plays as Bryan starts sleeping on the chair)



Bryan: *Suddenly waking up* Huh..? Oh! Sorry! This is a La-Z-Boy Morgan recliner, comes with manual control and comfortable for your home, this is worth $549,
but on Sale of the Century, it's just worth:




(applause)

So... Matt, what do you think? Want to buy it? It'll reduce you back to 20 and tied for first with James.

Burton: Acapulco, a beach resort town on Mexico's Pacific coast, is set on a large bay backed by high-rises and the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. Made famous by the jet set in the 1950s and ’60s, it's known for its high-energy nightlife, beaches and golf. From its iconic La Quebrada cliff, professional divers plunge 40m into a small ocean cove every day and night.

This prize is worth:



Not the money card this time but still early days.

Shall we wrap up Round 1? Let's do another three questions, a possible $15 can be won.
Also folks, as you can see, the layout is 5 questions first, then instant Bargain, Fame game and now three questions to end the round, just out of interest.

Anyway, I'll stop chatting and start asking:

2. In "Of Mice of Men", at the ranch where George and Lennie are going to work, which character did they encounter first?
3. The Peso was the current currency for numberous countries. Name two countries that have the Peso to this day?

Well, that's the end of the round.
We're back where we started: $20 each, what's going to happen in the next round when we introduce the Cashcard?
Find out after the break!

(Intermission)

[Deleted]

(Fade in)
Thanks for tuning back to Gameshow Marathon, we're on $ale and at the moment everyone's tied at $20.

It could change in this round so good luck.

Round 2 starts off with 5 questions, here we go!

Q1: In the Japanese Yen, what's the lowest banknote to this day?
Q2: How do you say 'Where do you live?' in German?
Q3: Peter Falk was well known for starring as which fictional detective?
Q4: In a standard game of Monopoly, what's the highest banknote?
Q5: What's this symbol called: * ?

(PM me your five answers and a buzzcode with each one from 1 to 30. Good Luck!)

Q1: In the Japanese Yen, what's the lowest banknote to this day?
(buzzcode: 26)
picosong.com/WQpd/

James?

James: 0.05.

I think you misread the question there, it was banknotes not coins, it's actually 1,000.



Q2: How do you say 'Where do you live?' in German?
(Buzzcode: 17)
picosong.com/WQpd/

James again.

James: Wo lebst du.

As they say in Gremany: Richtig! (Subtitled: Correct!)


Back on 20.

Q3: Peter Falk was well known for starring as which fictional detective?
(buzzcode: 9)
picosong.com/WQpd/
Greg?

Greg: Columbo.

(In a 'Columbo' accent) Well you gotcha yourself a fiver.
(Normal voice) Now you're ahead.



Q4: In a standard game of Monopoly, what's the highest banknote?
(Buzzcode: 15)
picosong.com/WQpd/
Greg?

Greg: $500.

Right, you're still in the lead.



Q5: What's this symbol called: * ?
(Buzzcode: 7, Greg hits a BULLSEYE!)
picosong.com/WQpd/
Greg?

Greg: Asterisk.

With that, you just done a streak of three correct answers.
(applause)



(Instant Bargain cue)

And you got a chance to buy a great item, Bryan?

(Fitness BGM plays as a model exercising on the bike.)



Bryan: This is a NordicTrack CX1055 elliptical machine or exercise bike as you call it, comes with ajustable speed and time, it's sure to give your legs a workout!
While this is worth just a grand, at $ale, it's yours for just:



(Applause)

Greg, what do you think of this bargain?

[palmer7]

At $10? A $1,000 elliptical machine for $10? Is that the best you can do? I don't think it is. Tell you what, I have a $15 lead. If you throw in $500 cash and drop the price to $5, I'll consider it.

[Deleted]

Well, tell you what, I'll drop the price by a dollar per correct answer you gave me during the five questions in Round 2,
so you gave me three correct answers and in return, I'll drop the price to $7 and I'll include that $500 you wanted.



But, since you're playing for your charity, maybe I'll add a extra $500 on top of the 500 you wanted, so $1,000 in cash.

So let's recap, I'm selling this for seven, it'll include the $1,000 in cash.

Do we have a deal?

(Audience shouting suggestions)

[palmer7]

Ahh, why not? (I buzz in)

[Deleted]

picosong.com/WQpd/

(applause)

And he's still in the lead by $8.
