[grapebuy789]

Holy crap! I got the $15 card! Yahoo!!!

[palmer7]

(he stops)

Stop at $15!

(fanfare)
(camera flashes between the $15 and Frank's face)
(cheers and applause)


Joseph: $25
Frank: $63
Nels: $35



And we add the $15 to Frank's score. He can't believe it. He's up to $63. I don't believe it, either. We'll be back with a $10,000 CashCard round after this.

Greg: And we're back with Round 3, the CashCard Round. Welcome back, everyone. Let's check the scores.


Joseph: $25
Frank: $63
Nels: $35



Frank has a commanding lead with $63. The champ Nels is at $35, and Joseph is at $25. Back with the questions.


1. Starting with "P", what process is utilized to make cows' milk safe for human consumption?
2. Retinol is another name for what Vitamin?
3. What is James Dewar most famous for inventing?
4. Who replaced Severus Snape as Potions Master at Hogwarts?
5. Give me the next line to this Imagine Dragons song.


Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

[CASHCARD]

Well, we're up to CashCard again, and it's Frank's chance to play. Frank, as Nels can tell you, he cleaned us out for $60,000 on our last show. Meaning we go right back to $10,000. You know how this works. It'll cost you $15 to play. One suit gives you your money back, one lets you take $5 from somebody else and tack it onto your score, and one gets you this nice prize....

[palmer7]

(some average people stop by in workout gear and exercise on the equipment)


Kether: Frank, you could start your own gym at home with this collection of exercise equipment.

This recumbent exercise bicycle folds in seconds to half its set-up size for unobtrusive storage under a bed or in a closet and encourages users to sit upright and pedal with correct spinal posture.

This home resistance gym provides a 50-exercise body-sculpting workout, yet easily folds flat to store under a bed or in a closet.

This foldaway bicycle incorporates a cable machine for toning the arms.

Moving right along, this seated cardiovascular trainer provides a joint-friendly workout from a more stable, balanced position than a traditional standing elliptical.

This low-impact cardio trainer strengthens the heart and lungs without any weight-bearing impact on the joints.

This semi-recumbent exercise bicycle with an integrated adjustable desk enables one to read or use a laptop/tablet while enjoying a low-impact cardio workout.

This fitness chair lets you remain seated while stretching and strengthening back muscles in all directions. But wait, there's more!

This boulderboard delivers a full-body workout as climbers hone their skills, all from the comfort of a home gym. Occupying no more floor space than a treadmill, the climbing surface is angled from -5° to -50° and has 175 hold placements.

And finally....

This rowing machine uses the natural density of water to provide the most accurate rowing experience available. And all of this equipment comes from the exact same place, Hammacher Schlemmer!

But do you really expect to be using all this equipment with the wrong clothes? Uh, no! That's why we're also throwing in a $500 gift certificate to Dick's Sporting Goods, a leading omnichannel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories.

And altogether.... whew, glad that's over.... altogether, this prize package is worth...

(cheers and applause)


Greg: And, of course, one of those suits is worth $10,000 in cash. Now, Frank, you have a $13 lead. If you decided to play, you'd be $2 behind Nels. You could pick up $10,000 in cash or all this gym equipment. You could also get the Take $5 and take $5 off somebody else's score to make up for it. What do you want to do?

[grapebuy789]

As tempting as it is Greg, I am not going to do it.

[palmer7]

Right, don't want to lose the lead. And at 10-grand, I don't blame you. It goes up to $15,000 tomorrow night. Now, just for fun, if you were to play, which one would you have picked?

[grapebuy789]

I would have chose the diamond.

[palmer7]

Kether, would you do the honors, please?

Kether: I'm not doing any of your honors, buster. I'll operate the machine, though. (she does, audience chuckles)

Greg: Ohhhh-kay. Let's see what would've happened. Hit it!

(Kether presses a button, and the reels spin)

You would've gotten your money back.

Kether: And wasted our time.

Greg: Down, girl! Bad triceratops, bad! (Kether starts growling like Chomp, audience laughs) Seriously..... back to the questions.


1. What month features the harvest moon?

[palmer7]

(lights in motion)


Greg: Frank, if you can hit that $25 Money Card, you'd be over $100 and would have a commanding lead. Good luck, and fire when ready. (an unused letter from A-I, please)

Well, you don't get it. You do get what's behind #7. Burton?

[tmann3x]

[palmer7]

Burton: (VO) It's the Wild Card! $5,000 or Spin Again?

Greg: That's right. Frank, I can give you $5,000 in cash right now, or you can spin again and try for either one of those Money Cards. What will you do?

[grapebuy789]

I want to spin again! (D)
