Going a little out of the way with 16........................... It is a Wild Card!!! (huge applause)  Now Matt, you have to earn the Wild Card! If you get this right, it will serve as your third $200 box and give you the game! Best of luck! True or false: Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 led to the Iran-Iraq War. |

(huge applause) We have return for more of Break The Bank! Matt after overcoming three consecutive blanks managed to persevere to find 2 $200 boxes and that Wild Card, where James had two Money Bags in his possession! Matt did win $600 in cash including a trip to Chicago giving him a total so far of $5,444! Since the bank was not broken, it is now worth $6,500!  Matt you now have the priviledge of starting Game Two, which would you like?  |

All the way down to 19, one thing I forgot to mention: all boxes are $200, $400 and $600....................... It is a Wild Card!!! (huge applause)  Two Wild Cards in a row, unprecedented! This can give you a huge advantage if you get this right! True or false: Sandwich, the food item, is named after a person. |

You said it with confidence and you are right! (huge applause) Though England's Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) wasn't the first to eat meat between two slices of bread, his fondness for it generated its famous name. That Wild Card once again belongs to you and you may freely choose where to go next.  |

He decides to go next door to 18.......................... It is a $200 box!  True or false: St. Valentine's Day is a holiday invented by the greeting card industry. |

Post by Bryan on Sept 13, 2017 12:44:18 GMT -5
False indeed! (huge applause) Celebrated since the 1300s, the holiday is largely based on St. Valentine (martyred AD 270) who fell in love with his jailer's daughter and signed notes to her "from your Valentine." Interesting turns here, you have a Wild Card and a $200 box already meaning another will earn you another $600! You have a 50/50 shot, where is it?  |

It was thought to be true, but it is actually false! (AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW) Though long believed to be true, lemmings don't commit mass suicide but can jump or fall off cliffs into water during mass migrations and then swim long distances to the point of exhaustion. That $400 box goes to James, and James makes his first pick of Game Two!  |

One number off a potential $400 box, he must be looking for a Money Bag or a $600 box...................... It is a Money Bag! (ding, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)  Now James you have to seriously think about what is at stake here: you have one $400 box while Matt has a Wild Card and a $200 box! As you know by now, if you keep the Money Bag, you will lose your turn! What is your decision? |

Wow, what a risk taking decision! (ding, mixed applause)  One Money Bag in his possession knowing Matt has a commanding lead with the Wild Card! Matt all you really need is another $200 box, but you may choose whatever you wish!  |

Yes it is true! (huge applause) Excavations of the tar pits revealed the remains of many trapped prehistoric animals. Matt the more off the wall choices you make, the more intriguing it gets! Pick whichever you like!  |

No question what 15 is............................. One of the other $600 boxes!  Matt, if you get this right you will win another $1,800 and another speical surprise prize! Here we go! True or false: In Dante's Inferno, the deepest ring of Hell is reserved for murderers. |

No it is false! (AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW) The ninth (and deepest) ring of Hell was reserved for individuals guilty of treachery. That means James gets the $600 box, and looks like his only options are finding the remaining $400 boxes or the Money Bags! James?  |
