PAULINE: One week earlier:

Jul 11, 2018 8:47:10 GMT -5 GameShowNetwork said:

Due to Sergio's suspension, this episode will have to be held for now.

---

PAULINE: Back to today.
ME: You know what, GameShowNetwork? I'm back. Well, Frank has the biggest overall, so that's why he got the most overall total, and because of that he's won that trip!

(Cardiators Prize Cue)

PAULINE: Sergio, it's a trip to Beijing! You and a guest will fly in first class from Los Angeles to Beijing for a 7-night stay in a Deluxe Room at The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing; In the very heart of the Central Business District. The Hotel, three office towers, an upscale shopping mall and an apartment complex are surrounded by garden landscaping, providing a rejuvenating sanctuary in the capital city. And it's also in the list of the top 20 Chinese hotels of 2017 according to Condé Nast Traveler. The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing. A daily buffet breakfast is included.
And we also give you $2,500 spending money. Brought to you by the websites Kayak and Trivago. Anyway, that luxury trip is worth: $18,500!!!!
ME: (Jaw dropped). WOW, I can't belive it. THAT'S ALMOST $30,000 IN PRIZES FOR ONLY BEEN IN FIRST POSITION! Frank, congratulations, that prize is yours to keep no matter what happens. Well, don't relax too much, because it's time for the "END GAME", as we go through to the "Bonus Round!"
END GAME: BONUS ROUND: TRUE OR FALSE?

(Cardiators Bonus Round)
(Boxing Ring Bell)

(Cardiators Bonus Round Cue)
ME: Here we go, Frank and Kevin. It's time to work together, in order to build up as much money as possible, maybe up to more than $1,200,000 (The maximum potential prize fund is $1,203,200)! (Wild cheers and applause)
Do you remember what we did backstage? We've secretly gave you two statements for each contestant (Look at your PM, by the way). And the statements given by Anthony (later by Nels), Lenny, Raymond (later by Matt) and Kourtney will be asked. That means, eight True-or-False statements. If you get the answer to that statement correctly, you will keep the prize fund and you will win money as a reward. But if you get it incorrectly, and you will lose the 10% from that prize fund (In this case, every wrong answer will cost you $20,320) And because of that, any loser will receive $5,000 for the first statement, or for the second, if the first one was previously answered correctly; But if both statements were answered incorrectly, the loser will receive $10,000. To see how much money will be awarded for each question answered correctly. Here's Cappy.

(Cappy explaining the rules)
CAPPY: Thank you, Sergio. Well, Frank and Kevin, the statements contain a True-Or-False question. As Sergio said, if you answer correctly, you protect the prize fund and you will add more money; But if you're wrong, you will lose the 10% and the losers get the consolation money. You start the round with $25,000 and that's the minimum, which will be added to the prize fund later. But if you play the "Perfect Round", you will add $1,000,000 to that! 
And here's how the money organization works:

• Starting Amount: $25,000
• Question 1: +$25,000
• Question 2: +$50,000
• Question 3: +$75,000
• Question 4: +$100,000
• Question 5: +$125,000
• Question 6: +$150,000
  
• Question 7: +$200,000
• Question 8: +$250,000
• Final Total: $1,000,000

Of course, you need to talk to each other and to do that, you need just four posts for both of you (Two for Frank, and Two more for Kevin). If you don't have any questions. Let's start the Round, Sergio. It's almost the end
ME: I'll do my best, thank you, Cappy. Well, let's start the game, And we do it with Nels Snesrud, replacing Anthony Long. Who's actually the first contestant eliminated. Topper has his statements, but here's the first question and that's worth $25,000. Roll it, Topper!
Topper: Heh heh! Sergio got dat treasure that either Frank, Kevin, both or none of them want, it's tonight's tasty prize fund, so you ain't got nothing to do except answering 8 True-or-False questions, and dis is de first one:"The Three Musketeers" is set in Spain.Topper: Good luck, guis! (Audience laughs)
ME: Well, any ideas?
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

I think that’s false.

[koopakid17]

I seem to remember it taking place in France. Sounds false to me as well.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $203,200 + Bonus Round: $25,000 = Final Dilemma: $228,200
"The Three Musketeers" is set in Spain.
Is That TRUE or Is that [FALSE]?

ME: Well, it was unanimous. Topper asked you for Nels: "The Three Musketeers" is set in Spain. And both of you went for FALSE. If you're right, you will add another $25,000 to the prize fund. If not, you will lose the 10% of that and Nels will receive $5,000. Is dat the correct answer? Let's find out.
Topper: The answer to Nels' statement is...FALSE!

Prize Fund: $203,200 + Bonus Round: $50,000 = Final Dilemma: $253,200
"The Three Musketeers" is set in Spain.
Is That WRONG... or Is that [RIGHT!]?

(Correct Answer!)
(Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Indeed, it's false. And Kevin, you were more right. Because the story of D'Artagnan written by Alexandre Dumas is mainly set in Paris, France. And as you know, The Three Musketeers are Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
Guys, you have more than a quarter of a million dollars for the Final Dilemma (Right now, the prize fund has $253,200) Let's see if you keep that track. However, "We stick with the same loser, but we move on to another statement", and as you can see the money goes up too. Topper has the second question and that's worth an additional $50,000. Get this right, and you will go to more than $300,000 (Two in a row would mean $302,300), but if you get this wrong, you will go down to more than $230,000 (Actually, $232,880) and Nels will receive $5,000. What's the question, Topper?
Topper: Heh heh! Ya can't stop YOU, if you get dis right. Come on-let's see ya try!
The Commonwealth Games take place in even years.Topper: Let's answer this, Frank and Kevin!
ME: Take your time.
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

Uhh. I’ll say true.

[koopakid17]

That would be my guess as well, true.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $203,200 + Bonus Round: $50,000 = Final Dilemma: $253,200
The Commonwealth Games take place in even years.
Is That [TRUE] or Is that FALSE?

ME: Guys, get this right, you will add another $50,000 to your prize fund and you will leave Nels with no money (But it wouldn't be over for him yet). Otherwise, you will lose the 10% of that and Nels will finally receive $5,000. Topper, you asked them: The Commonwealth Games take place in even years. And they've decided to guess TRUE. Will they keep the prize fund and add 'em up some money?.
Topper: The answer to Nels' statement is...TRUE!

Prize Fund: $203,200 + Bonus Round: $100,000 = Final Dilemma: $303,200
The Commonwealth Games take place in even years.
Is That [RIGHT!]... or Is that WRONG?

(Correct Answer!)
(Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Of course, it's true! To clarify, the last Commonwealth Games took place in Gold Coast, Australia from 4th to 15th April 2018 and the next edition will take place in the Birmingham, England from 27th July to 7th August 2022. About this year's games, this was the fifth time Australia hosted the Commonwealth Games (After Sydney in 1938, Perth in 1962, Brisbane in 1982 and Melbourne in 2006) and it was the first time that a major multi-sport event achieved gender equality by having an equal number of events for males and female athletes. In addition, Gold Coast became the seventh Oceanian city (In addition to Auckland in 1950 and 1990, respectively and Christchurch in 1974, all of them from New Zealand) and the first regional city to host the Commonwealth Games. Also these were the eighth games to be held in Oceania and the Southern Hemisphere.
Very good, Frank and Kevin. That's two out of two and you still have the entire prize fund. However, if we add the $100,000 from the bonus round, now you have over $300,000. (The prize fund now climbs to $303,200). And Nels has no money, but it's not over for him yet. Now, let's move on to Lenny Jackson. Who's actually the second contestant eliminated. Hariet has his statements, but this is question three, and that's worth $75,000. Right answer, and you will score more than $375,000 (This would mean $378,300). Wrong answer, you will drop you to more than $280,000 (Actually, $282,880) and Lenny will receive $5,000 for that. Hariet, here comes the question!
Hariet: Lookin' for your statements, Lenny? Too bad. Frank and Kevin have to answer it!
A “Haka” is traditionally performed by the New Zealand Rugby Union Team.Hariet: Guess ya got things to do!
ME: What are your guesses?
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[koopakid17]

Seems a bit foreign, even for New Zealand. I say false. What about you, Frank?

[fdriscoll22]

I think so too. But I think it’s possible because rugby is pretty big done there and New Zealand is so cultural. But I think I could be false.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $203,200 + Bonus Round: $100,000 = Final Dilemma: $303,200
A “Haka” is traditionally performed by the New Zealand Rugby Union Team.
Is That TRUE or Is that [FALSE]?

ME: If you're right, you keep the prize fund and you add $75,000 to that. If not, you will lose the 10% of that and Lenny will receive $5,000. Hariet asked you: A “Haka” is traditionally performed by the New Zealand Rugby Union Team. And they've went for FALSE, even Frank seem to be foreign and Kevin thinks that rugby is pretty big done there. Hariet, did they've picked the right answer?.
Hariet: The answer to Nels' statement is...TRUE!

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $100,000 = Final Dilemma: $282,880
A “Haka” is traditionally performed by the New Zealand Rugby Union Team.
Is That RIGHT! or Is that [WRONG]

(Wrong Answer!)
(Audience groans)
ME: Oh, it's actually true! The New Zealand Rugby Union Team is also known as the "All Blacks"! Frank and Kevin, you've went the wrong way. Your prize fund has gone down to more than $280,000 (The prize fund gone down to $282,880). That's MINUS $20,000! (Audience groans) But for Lenny is good news, because he doesn't leave empti-janded
CAPPY: Sergio, It's EMPTY-HANDED, with a "y" and a "h" actually!
(Audience laughs)
ME: Oops, sorry, Cappy. Well, in addition to the HP Spectre x360 Laptop Computer, Lenny wins $5,000 in cash. Let's see if you can get the next one right. However, "We stick with the same loser, but we move on to another statement", nonetheless the money goes up too. Hariet will ask the fourth question and that's worth an $100,000. Get this right, and you will get closer to $400,000 (That would mean $382,880), but if you get this wrong again, you will go down to more than $160,000 (This would drop to $162,560) and Lenny will win $10,000. Listen carefully to Hariet.
Hariet: Yep, we're halfway the Bonus Round. And wrong answers will reduce that prize fund. But you two can redeem yourselves, 'cause that's definitely NOT OVER YET!. The question is:
In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein’s first name is Victor.Hariet: You didn't know you need this?!
ME: Guys, something must appear in your heads.
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

That is true. I read this novel for a class last semester. That’s 100% true.

[koopakid17]

I actually learned that from Double Dare so I'll agree with that. It's true.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $100,000 = Final Dilemma: $282,880
In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein’s first name is Victor.
Is That [TRUE] or Is that FALSE?

ME: Hariet asked for Lenny: In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein’s first name is Victor. Frank admitted that he read this novel for a class last semester, while Kevin learned it from Nickelodeon's Double Dare.

Jul 22, 2018 15:59:13 GMT -5 koopakid17 said:

From 2000, believe it or not.

ME: Well, in any case, they've gone for TRUE. Right answer, you will add $100,000 to your prize fund. Wrong Answer, you will lose another 10% and Lenny will get $10,000. Hariet will find out the correct answer.
Hariet: The answer to Lenny's statement is...TRUE!

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $200,000 = Final Dilemma: $382,880
In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein’s first name is Victor.
Is That [RIGHT!]... or Is that WRONG?

(Correct Answer!)
(Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Yes, it is! Mary Shelley wrote the novel in 1818 where Victor Frankenstein creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment while he was studing in the University of Inglostadt, in Germany. To clarify, he was born in Naples, into a wealthy Genevan family. There are another important characters in the novel, Alphonse and Caroline (Victor's parents), Ernest and William (Victor's brothers), Elizabeth Lavenza (Who later falls in love with Victor), Justine Moritz (William's nanny) and Henry Clerval (Victor's childhood friend). I remember that there's some several film adaptations. For example: "Young Frankenstein" in 1974, directed by Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle; And "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" in 1994, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter.
Frank and Kevin, you still have the prize fund as is. But, if we add another $100,000 from that question, you're now closer to $400,000. (The prize fund now climbs to $382,880). However, that wrong answer on the third question made Lenny win $5,000, but it's not over for him yet. Well, let's move on to Matt Ringgenberg, replacing Raymond Weaver, who's actually third contestant eliminated. Spewart has his statements, but this question is now worth $125,000. Get this right, and you will score more than $500,000 (This would mean $507,880). Wrong answer, you will go down to more than $260,000 (Actually, $262,560) and Matt will receive $5,000 for that. Roll it, Spewart!
Spewart: Too late! I've snagged the statements! Now why don't you scram so Frank and Kevin can answer to that question as well?
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won a gold medal for Great Britain.Spewart: Or maybe I'll just answer for them?
ME: Any ideas?
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

Hmm. I’m a bit stumped. I’m leaning toward true. What do you think Kevin?

[koopakid17]

Your guess is as good as mine. I'll say True as well. They were well-known in the 90s.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $200,000 = Final Dilemma: $382,880
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won a gold medal for Great Britain.
Is That [TRUE] or Is that FALSE?

ME: If that's the right answer, the prize fund remains as is and you will add $125,000 to that. But if it's wrong, you will lose the 10% of that prize fund and Matt will receive $5,000. Spewart asked for Matt: Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won a gold medal for Great Britain. And you say it's TRUE. Is that correct? Let's find out.
Spewart: The answer to Matt's statement is...TRUE!

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $507,880
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won a gold medal for Great Britain.
Is That [RIGHT!]... or Is that WRONG?

(Correct Answer!)
(Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Of course! They did it in the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo (Capital city of modern-day country Bosnia & Herzegovina; but then, as part of Yugoslavia), and they would do the same thing at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer (One of the coldest cities in Norway), but receiving a bronze medal.
Well done. four out of five questions, you protect the prize fund and we add $125,000, which puts you with more than $500,000! (The prize fund now climbs to $507,880). However, "We stick with the same loser, but we move on to another statement", and as you can see the money goes up too. Spewart has question number six worth $150,000. Right answer, and you will be in a magic score which is closer to $660,000! (That magic score is $657,880). Wrong answer, will drop you to almost $500,000 (That consequence would drop them to $487,560). Here it comes!
Spewart: Oh, yeah, that core memory is gonna fit me REAL good-once I see someone winning one million dollars! If you get this question right:
Gran Canaria is in the Mediterranean Sea.Spewart: Here's fine and all, but I'm ready to stay tuned.
ME: Take your time.
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

No idea. Sounds Mediterranean to me. Could be true. Kevin?

[koopakid17]

I believe that's True as well.

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $182,880 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $507,880
Gran Canaria is in the Mediterranean Sea.
Is That [TRUE] or Is that FALSE?

ME: Spewart, you asked them: Gran Canaria is in the Mediterranean Sea. And Frank and Kevin believe it's TRUE. This statement is crucial, if you get this, the pressure is on to Matt and you're just two questions away from having a prize fund of $1,000,000. If not, we still have life-changing money, but you will NOT playing for the Million anymore. Spewart, you've admitted that you want to see someone win one million dollars. Will that dream keep alive?
Topper: The answer to Nels' statement is...FALSE!

Prize Fund: $161,840 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $486,840
Gran Canaria is in the Mediterranean Sea.
Is That [WRONG] or Is that RIGHT!

(Wrong Answer!)
(Audience groans)
ME: No, it's False! On the Mediterranean Sea we can find the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Crete, Lesbos, Rhodes and Cyprus, for example. But NOT Gran Canaria, because it's one of the Canary Islands located at the Atlantic Ocean.
Guys. That's your second wrong answer, which means you've gone from more than $500,000 to almost $500,000 (The prize fund gone down to $507,880 to $486,840). Matt can be delighted for that failure because he wins $5,000 in cash. Well, you don't play for one million dollars anymore, but there's big money with the last two statements. Well, let's move on to Kourtney Wilson, who's actually the last contestant eliminated. Rango has his statements, but this is question seven and there's $200,000 up for grabs. A correct answer, and you will score more than $700,000 (Actually, $686,840). But a wrong answer, you will lose another $20,000 (Actually, $466,610) and Kourtney will receive $5,000 for that. What's the question, Rango?
Rango: The people in the "Loser's Chamber" is fussy 'bout redemption thanks to their statements. Reckon I've got the ones with the most money at stake, though. It ses:
There is no knocker on the front door of 10 Downing Street.Rango: You're gonna pay-for this, if your NOT right!
ME: What are your guesses?
(You have 24 hours to answer and you have 4 posts each)

[fdriscoll22]

I’m thinking true. It seems like there would be some kind of knocker on the door. I don’t even know what that building is. Lol. Kevin, what do you think?

[koopakid17]

Same here, I don't know what the reference is. It's a 50/50 shot. Let's say true.

[fdriscoll22]

Wait, I misread the question. It says no knocker. So false then because I thought the question say there was one. It makes sense now that false means there is a knocker. Are you fine with that Kevin?

[romnserg]

Prize Fund: $161,840 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $486,840
There is no knocker on the front door of 10 Downing Street.
Is That [TRUE] or Is that FALSE?

ME: Rango, you've just asked them: There is no knocker on the front door of 10 Downing Street. And according to Kevin it's a 50/50 shot. But at the end, they think it's TRUE. If you're correct, You will edge closer to $700,000 (Their prize fund will raise to $686,840) If not, you will go down to almost $470,000 (That will be reduced to $467,240). Rango, yer already have the $200,000 statement. Will they add that to the prize fund?
Topper: The answer to Kourtney's statement is...FALSE!

Prize Fund: $142,240 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $467,240
There is no knocker on the front door of 10 Downing Street.
Is That [WRONG] or Is that RIGHT!

(Wrong Answer!)
(Audience groans)
ME: Ouch, it's false! Because the door features a centre door knob; A lion head door knocker and brass letter plate which bore the inscription ‘First Lord of the Treasury’.
The big money is running away, that's three wrong now. You have almost $470,000 (The total is $467,240). And Kourtney receives $5,000. However, "We stick with the same loser, but we move on to another statement", nonetheless the money goes up too. Rango has the final question of the Bonus Round worth $250,000. This is your last chance to add some cash. If you get the correct answer, and you will be over $700,000! (The final cash score will be $717,240). But if you get this one wrong, will drop you to almost $450,000 (That consequence would drop them to $446,920). Let's do this!
Rango: I've got the $250,000 statement. NO WAY i'm givin' it if you answer incorrectly again! Listen.
In Trivial Pursuit, the geography questions are yellow.Rango: By the way, It matches with the final quesiton. Hyuh, hyuh, hyuh!
ME: Guys, something must appear in your heads.

[fdriscoll22]

I think that’s false. Kevin?

[koopakid17]

I think the history questions are yellow. I say false as well.

Prize Fund: $142,240 + Bonus Round: $325,000 = Final Dilemma: $467,240
In Trivial Pursuit, the geography questions are yellow.
Is That TRUE or Is that [FALSE]?

ME: If this is correct, the prize fund remains as is and you will add $250,000 to the final total. But if it's wrong, you will lose another 10% of that and Kourtney will double his consolation cash prize to $10,000. Rango asked for Kourtney: In Trivial Pursuit, the geography questions are yellow. And you think it's FALSE. Will Frank and Kevin play for more than $700,000? Let's find out.
Rango: The answer to Kourtney's statement is...FALSE!

Prize Fund: $142,240 + Bonus Round: $575,000 = Final Dilemma: $717,240
In Trivial Pursuit, the geography questions are yellow.
Is That WRONG... or Is that [RIGHT!]?

(Correct Answer!)
(Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Of course! Kevin, you're right. The history questions are yellow, while the geography questions are blue. Well done, guys. The prize fund stats where it is and we add $250,000 to that. The 8 questions are asked. And it's time to find out how much money are you going to play. How much is tonight's prize fund, Pauline?
PAULINE: Sergio, tonight's prize fund is worth: $717,240!!! (Audience cheers and applause)
ME: Congratulations, guys. In a few moments, my companions will give you the checks, according to the Final Dilemma results. At least, one of tonight's contestants will walk outta here with almost $90,000. Will Frank and Kevin share the prize fund? Will one betray to the other and take all the money? Will they leave with no cash due to their greed? The answer will be revealed after the break, don't go away!

END GAME: FINAL DILEMMA: I WANT ALL/NOTHING?

(Cardiators Final Dilemma)
(Boxing Ring Bell)

(Cardiators Bonus Round Cue)
ME: Frank and Kevin, stop being partners, it's time to play your strategies as you're ready to face the most important decision of your lives: Decide whether "WANT ALL" or "WANT NOTHING". This is how the fate will be in your hands: If you want "NOTHING", you win "ALL" the prize fund and you will share it; If someone wants "ALL" and the other wants "NOTHING", one will win "ALL" while the other leaves with "NOTHING"; If you want "ALL", you will leave with "NOTHING". It's time to decide.
(Frank and Kevin, I will send the placards through PM in the future, so stay tuned)

Well Kevin. I think we’ve done very well together in this game. I don’t really see a reason to choose All over Nothing against you. We both could use this money I’m sure. I would like to choose Nothing so we both can go home happy. We’ve been a great team so far and I think we should stick together till the end. There ya go.

Aug 6, 2018 11:12:16 GMT -5 koopakid17 said:

I agree completely with you. There's no use fighting over what we've already earned so far, and the money we've earned together can help both of us out a whole lot. Let's split what we've built up. The two of us go home happy.

ME: Would you like to get the placards with both options from Pauline?
(Frank and Kevin do it so)
PAULINE: Good luck, Frank and Kevin.
(Frank and Kevin return to their podiums, as I hold the checks)
ME: Before choosing, look at your eyes. As I said, you might want ALL or NOTHING from tonight's prize fund of $717,240. Remember, this decision will also be involved with the losers, but indirectly. Here's what will happen if:

• If both of you want "NOTHING", you will share tonight's prize fund and go home with this check worth $358,620. If this happens, Lenny (In addition to the HP Spectre x360 Laptop Computer worth $1,375), Matt and Kourtney will double their money to $10,000 and Nels (In addition to the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra soundbar wirth $1,100) will receive the minimum house limit of $1,000.
• If one of you wants "ALL", and the other wants "NOTHING", whoever choose "ALL", goes home with this check worth $717,240. But if this happens, Lenny (In addition to the HP Spectre x360 Laptop Computer worth $1,375), Matt and Kourtney will stick with $5,000 and Nels (In addition to the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra soundbar worth $1,100) will leave with no money.
• But, If you both want "ALL", you will leave with no money. And if this happens, Lenny, Matt, Kourtney and Nels will split half of that prize fund meaning that in addition to the winnings in the bonus round, they will receive a check worth $89,655 . (Nels will go home with $89,655 in cash, while Matt & Kourtney will leave with $94,655 and Lenny will walk out of here with $94,655, in addition to the HP Spectre x360).
