You're now at 15. Would you like to FREEZE, or play on? If you choose to freeze, you'll get a chance to unfreeze and play last. John has 11 right now. What do you want to do?

[SEA PARTED BY MOSES]

Besides being extremely salty, what is the Dead Sea's claim to fame?

Sure is! Now, this next card could make or break you. If it's a SIX, you win the round and join Evan in the Championship. Anything above, it's Top Card time. Anything below, it's decision time. Let's see the hidden card...
[>>4<<]
[>>X<<]
[>>X<<]
[GEOLOGY]
[>>X<<]
[ISLANDS]
[ROYALTY]

(Audience applauds)
Good move! That puts Matt at 19, and John, at 11, in a precarious position. You must surpass Matt without missing a question. Miss a question, and the round ends. Keep in mind, if you get 20, Matt will be able to unfreeze and finish out the round. Get a 21, though, and you'll face the champ.
With all that in mind, John, please pick the next category. GEOLOGY, ISLANDS, ROYALTY, or VOCABULARY?

Good guess, but it's not the answer I have (BUZZ!). It was actually a FRUIT. Since that ends the round for you, that means Matt wins it! (Theme plays)
Matt, you're going to get $500 and join Evan in the Championship Round. John, you played a great game, and for your efforts, we're giving you $250 and a free weekend for 2 at the Golden Nugget. Big hand for John, everyone! (Applause as John leaves the stage)
Matt and Evan in the Championship Round right after this, so stay with us!

Nope, he acted in that, too. The answer was YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Although he directed it, Mel Brooks did not appear in it. That means the category is gone and the card goes unclaimed. Evan, pick again, please.
