First, a Tournament Update:
* Jon Darrall will officially be unable to participate in the Tournament of Champions. I am making arrangements now with Stephen Hall, real-life Temptation lot winner, for him to participate in his place. If it falls through, the 9th-biggest money winner will compete in the tourney. Now, if Evan should lose tonight, he would qualify.
Here's what the leaderboard looks like:
Stephen Hall [Temptation Lot Winner, AU$672,357] OR 9th Biggest-Money Winner
Sam Hodkin ($372,621)
Steven Anderson ($148,584)
John Lopez ($107,176)
Pat Punsiri ($57,382)
Ian Sherman ($42,349)
Sam Ryan ($25,090)
James Greek ($16,315)
Kevin Kolsen ($9,807)
Evan Hatfield has $80,579 in cash and prizes. I'm looking for two people to challenge him, preferably two people who are not already on this leaderboard.

(pre-opening, in my dressing room, I'm stewing over the current situation with Stacey) Greg: I ask you, Stacey, who do you have to know in this town to have a board fixed? All I want are flashing lights and a stopping mechanism that locks into the buzzer. Is that too much to ask? Stacey: Apparently, yes.Greg: I should've known Tim and Al were a bad idea. (just then, my phone rings, I answer it) Hello? Voice (Robert Downey, Jr.): (VO) Hello, Mr. Sale of the Century. (audience cheers) (I cover my hand over the mouthpiece, mouthing "Tony Stark") Greg: And what are you doing calling me? Tony: (VO) Oh, nothing, I just heard you had a little electrical problem that needs fixing. And today's your lucky day, because I'm willing to help you for no money.
Zero down, zero interest, zero payment. Ever.Greg: That's fantastic! Sure, when can you be here? Tony: I'll be there in just a few minutes. Oh, but there is one tiny little thing I want.Greg: What's that? Tony: You know how Bob Barker has a studio named after him? I want the Fame Game board named after me.Greg: Uh...... Tony: Oh, and one other tiny thing. Stacey? She's mine for the night.Greg: You have excellent taste. I'm going to let you speak to her. (I pass the phone to Stacey) Sorry, Stace, gotta take one for the team. (and Stacey doesn't know what to think)
(drumroll)(shot of Evan) Burton Richardson: (VO) So far, Evan Hatfield has won cash and prizes totaling..... $80,579![OPENING THEME]
Tonight, one of our contestants could win a European holiday, a shopping spree at IKEA, or a tantalum pen with an 18-karat gold nib!
And continue a journey towards a fortune in cash and prizes including this pair of Alfa Romeo 4C Coupes......
And thousands of dollars in cash! In total, over.....
--on.....
(echo) And now, a man who wishes The Dark Overlord would hack us, GREG PALMER!(wild cheers and applause as the doors open and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you, Burton. Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to $ale of--- (just then, the doors open again and the apparent "Savior of the Fame Game Board" enters to cheers and applause)  Greg: Oh, you just had to do this. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who is finally going to fix the Fame Game board, Mr. Iron Man himself, Tony Stark. (audience cheers) Now, Tony, I promised you a date with Stacey, I also promised to rename the Fame Game board in your honor, but only if you fix it. (Tony puts his hands up) Tony: Now now now, just cool those engines. Wouldn't want you to burn out. Now, I will deliver. Since when do I not?Greg: Um.... Tony: Don't answer that. (audience laughs) Greg: All right. (suddenly, Tony notices the champion) Tony: Oooh, who's this? The champ?Greg: Yes. This is our three-official-game champion who is doing quite well, Evan Hatfield! (audience cheers) Evan, you probably know who this dou--- (Tony puts his finger up) Tony: Uh uh uh, there may be kids watching.Greg: This, this, this..... um, how are you doing, Evan? |

Believe me, it's head-spinning for anyone who has won as much as you have.
Tony: How much has he won so far?
Greg: Oh, over 80-grand.
Tony: Wow. So, Evan, are you ready to dominate again?

OK, then. Here to introduce the challengers is Stacey Wren! (Stacey walks out to cheers and applause) Greg: Hi, Stacey. Tony: Well, hello, hello, and g'day!
Stacey: (coolly) Hello, Mr. Stark. Before you make your move on me, I'd just like to tell you that I've called your secretary, and fiance, I believe.
(and Tony is stunned) Tony: Oh. That's. Right. Eh heh, I'm outta here. (he makes his way to behind the Fame Game board, muttering obscenities, I fistbump Stacey) Greg: Well done, Stacey. Now, who have we got tonight? (As Stacey introduces the contestants, models of the opposite gender escort them to their seats)Stacey: Well, first, we have a high school junior who is a huge Power Rangers fan. From Washington, D.C., please welcome Lenny Jackson! And we don't know much about him, but we do know he's from New Jersey. Here's Steven Solsak. (audience cheers) Greg: All right, let's meet our players. Hiya, Steven. Please tell us something about yourself, aside from the fact you're from New Jersey. |

Oh, after Tony Barber?
Tony S.: (from behind the Fame Game board) No, after me! (audience chuckles)
Greg: Less talking, more working, Stark! (audience laughs) The guy saves the planet a few times and all of a sudden, he thinks he's Mr. Wonderful. (scattered laughter) Steven, how about a compromise? You can name him Gregory Anthony Solack. Good luck to you.
Next, we have Lenny Jackson. Hiya, Lenny. I understand you're going to be a high school senior this year. What are you doing to prepare for college?

Evan, I see your hand is going nowhere near the buzzer. You have a $10 lead. I know you better than you know yourself, Evan. I know your game. You're not going to push that button until I make it worth your while, am I right? Well, how about this? I drop the price to $5, but I only throw in $450 cash. That's $7,000 in cash and ring for the value of a question. Going once.... (audience shouts suggestions) Going twice..... (audience shouts some more)
