Elevation (Series Premiere)

4)  If you were forced to watch only one Disney movie for the rest of your life, which one would you choose

[Deleted]

Aladdin.

[Deleted]

5)  Name a type of food that tastes better fried

[Deleted]

Chicken.

[Deleted]

Okay, let's check how you've done this time, Anthony.

We asked you for something you wouldn't miss if you were stranded on a desert island -- you said...working.  I'm sure with you on that one -- survey said...

(bzz)

Wow, must have been a group who loved their jobs the day that survey was taken, huh?  Next, we were looking for something people keep putting off and you said...yard work.  The survey said...

(bzz)

A bunch of work-loving clean freaks we had that day, I guess.  Let's try the next one -- a product where bigger is better -- you said a house.  I wouldn't classify that as a product per say, so not sure about this one.  Survey says --

(ding)

Ah okay, well it's nine better than zero anyway and that's worth $450 to you which puts you over the ten grand mark to buy that pass, so that's good news.

Next, we wanted the one Disney movie you'd want to watch if that's all you could watch for the rest of your life -- you said Aladdin.  The survey said...

(bzz)

I'm surprised at that as well, that's a classic!  Well, I'm sure you're gonna score well with this last one -- food that tastes better fried -- it's gotta be chicken, doesn't it?  Survey says --

(ding)

...the number one answer!  Well, you got one good one out of five that time Anthony for an even 50 points times 50 a point is $2,500!

(audience applauds)

(ding ding ding ding ding)

So, we've got Noah already having purchased his pass and hoping to land in that lobby where this time, the elevator will work for him.  Anthony is not far behind though -- if he can roll snake eyes on his next turn, he'll have his pass as well and be nipping at Noah's heels.

We're gonna take a break here folks and when we come back, if Noah can get Random.org to roll him a snowman, he's on his way to Level 2!

Lots more Elevation -- when we return!

(applause and theme music as the camera widens, pans and then fades to black)

[Deleted]

(fade in with the theme and applause)

We are back for more Elevation and we have a great match going on up to this point.  The highlights include Anthony almost racking up 200 points by himself in a Fast Money game and Noah finding himself the case with $300,000 in it in a Pick A Case game -- Noah's got his first elevator pass and Anthony is close to his as well.  It's going pretty well for the both of you so far gentlemen, how are you guys feeling about it?

[Deleted]

I think it is going to be close.

[sushibarset11]

Yeah. I agree with Anthony. It’s anyone’s game at the moment.

[Deleted]

I would agree as well, although if Random.org rolls an 8 for you Noah, you're up a level with payouts increased to $2,500!
(audience applauds)

Roll those dice for Noah, please!

(ding)

Oh, it's a nine!

You overshot the lobby and your back on the Start position.  So, no elevation yet Noah and not on the next turn either since you're next door to it.  Your turn ends there Noah, so let's roll for Anthony, please.

(ding)

You also get a 9, but in your case Anthony, you cannot move 9 spaces in either direction, so we're back to Noah.  Another roll for Noah, please.

(ding)

These dice are trolling you two all of a sudden.  So, you leap frog over the lobby to play our first "Blankety Blank" game thanks to those snake eyes -- doubles as well, so another roll to come for you.

Noah, if you can match the answer that either the star or the contestant came up with for this question, we give you $1,000!  How do you fill in this blank?

[sushibarset11]

I don’t know, snappy lobster?

[Deleted]

Ok, let's see if that matches either of them...

Yeah, steak and lobster was the first thing that came to my mind.

Well, no match there Noah, but you did have doubles, so let's roll again for you and see what's next...

(ding)

An eight moves you over to another Solve It! puzzle and here it is Noah, for $1,000...

[sushibarset11]

HOT FRENCH BREAD

[Deleted]

(ding ding ding ding)

(audience applauds)

Correct!

(ding)

You're less than five grand from being able to purchase the Level 3 pass now Noah, so you're doing fine!  Speaking of purchasing passes, Anthony needs a two and he's got his first pass.  Roll 'em for Anthony, please.

(ding)

No, that's an eight and again, you can't move that far either way Anthony, so it's back to Noah...roll 'em for Noah, please.

(ding)

Oh, a 5 here means you're the first to pay some taxes Noah, so we update your score accordingly.

(ding)

This also means that the Jackpot space on Level 5 gets its first entry -- $756 -- no doubt, it'll probably be worth a five-digit number before we're through.

Does that updated scoreboard make sense, Noah?

[sushibarset11]

Yes sir.

[Deleted]

Alright, well Anthony, let's see if we can roll a useful number this time...Random.org, roll the dice, please.

(ding)

Man, you can't catch a break right now with these dice, Anthony.  You were able to move to the lobby that time, but you haven't been able to purchase the pass yet, so once again, we're right back to Noah with his next roll...

(ding)

...and now, it's the same for you Noah -- you can't move with a 9, so it's back to Anthony again...

(ding)

...and it's a seven and it's your first pricing game Anthony -- let's see what you're going to play...

Your game is called "Shot in the Dark" -- this is not a game that appears on the television show, this is a custom-made game, so I'm assuming you have never seen this before, have you Anthony?

[Deleted]

No I haven't.

[Deleted]

Well, first of all, let's show you what you're playing for...

Shadoe Stevens: "Anthony, you're playing for the value of this...

...new car!!!

(audience applauds)

This is the 2019 Audi A6!

It comes standard with a mild-hybrid 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that produces 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

It also has a seven-speed gearbox that routes the output to an all-wheel-drive system.

Inside, all 2019 A6s come with a center console with a pair of screens.

The upper infotainment display is 8.8 inches and the lower 8.6-inch screen handles HVAC controls and handwriting inputs.

It's the new A6 from Audi!  Good luck, Anthony!"

Wow, that's a nice car Anthony, but since we're only looking at an image of it on our screens, you can't win the car itself, but its value will be added to your scoreboard if you win this pricing game.  Now, we're going to help you out a bit by lighting up the first number in the price of that car, which is...

(ding)

...a five!  This is a chance to add more than $50,000 to your score Anthony, which would give you a total almost high enough to buy 3 passes to get to Level 4!

(audience applauds)

Here's how we play -- as the name implies, you're about to take a shot in the dark at what the rest of the numbers are in the price of that car.  For this part of the game, when you choose a number, it doesn't matter where it is, if it's in the price, it will light up.  The more numbers you get right now, the easier it will be in the second part of the game, because then, you have to pick the right numbers in the right order to win the game.

One thing to remember is that there are no repeating numbers in this price, so there won't be another 5 there, for example.

So, we'll take this one step at a time, Anthony.  Other than 5, please give me a number you think we'll find somewhere among those remaining unlit four numbers in the price.

[Deleted]

7.

[Deleted]

Anthony says there's a 7 up there somewhere.  Is there?

(bzzzzzzzzzzzz)

No, there isn't a 7 in the price -- try again Anthony -- choose any number other than 5 or 7.

[Deleted]

9.

[Deleted]

We're looking for a nine this time -- does the price have a 9 in it?

(bzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

It does not.  2 shots down, 2 to go, Anthony -- other than 5, 7 or 9 -- choose another, please.

[Deleted]

8.

[Deleted]

Anthony tries an even number this time -- do we have an eight in the price?

(ding)

(audience applauds)

We do indeed, it's the last number.  Let's find one more before you have to go in order, Anthony -- other than 5, 7, 8 and 9, choose another number please.

[Deleted]

4.

[Deleted]

(ding ding ding)

(audience applauds)

There is a four as well!  Excellent, you got two of them at least Anthony -- now comes the trickier part of the game -- you must complete the price by choosing the right number for the right slot and you get only one chance at it.

First off, the second number in the price of the car -- is it a 2, a 3 or a 1?

[Deleted]

3 please.

[Deleted]

Ok, let's light up a 3 for Anthony, please.

(ding)

Now, that doesn't mean it's right Anthony, we'll check in a moment -- you have one last choice to make -- is that 4th number a 2 or a 1?

[Deleted]

2 please.

[Deleted]

(ding)

If the price of that car is $53,428 then this is an enormous win for you Anthony -- in as little as say 10 or so turns from now, by winning this and a few thousand dollars more, you could be all the way up to Level 4!

(audience applauds)

Let's find out -- is that indeed the price of that 2019 A6!?!?

Oh man, you have to be kidding me!!!  You picked the right numbers, but had them in the wrong spots!!

(audience awwwwwwwwwwwwwws)

I'm so sorry Anthony -- that could have jump started you to a victory, but alas, it was not to be.

I think we'll take a break here and give Anthony a chance to recover from that!

(audience begins applause as theme begins to play)

We'll be back in a moment or two with Noah's next attempt to land in that lobby and move up to Level 2 -- more Elevation to come after these messages!

(applause continues as shot widens and fades to black)

[Deleted]

(fade in with theme and applause)

We are back for more Elevation with our two players both on the verge of heading to the second level -- Noah just needs to land in the lobby to do it while Anthony still needs to buy his pass first.  Let's have a look at the current board and scores before we proceed:

(ding)

Noah, if Random.org graces you with a four on this next roll, you will be the first to elevate on our show -- let's see if it happens -- roll those dice for Noah, please!

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

(audience applauds)

You got it, Noah!  Step on out from that podium and head for that elevator!

* Noah makes his way towards the rear of the stage, enters the elevator where it rises to Level 2 -- he exits and takes his place at the podium on that level *

(ding)

Congratulations Noah, how's the view from that level -- you're not afraid of heights I hope!
