[Deleted]

I'm feeling great & I don't think you're jinxing me.

Normally priced at $1,675, tonight we've sheared down the price to $6, from Wusthof Cutlery and Sale of the Century!

Now Clement, that is a very nice prize there, and just to be nice, I'll knock it down to $5, so if you take it, you'll still be in the lead by a question. Sale or No Sale?

I don't need it as of now, and I want to protect my lead. No sale.

*Michael buzzes in (40)*
Michael: Richard Donner?
CORRECT

You are correct Michael! Now, as of this episode you do not have to pick a famous face, instead you have to pick a number. See that board in front of you, it has the numbers 1-9 on it, there is $10 behind one of the numbers, several prizes behind some of them, and some other surprises, so which number would you like?

[1][2][3]

[Shieldsy100]

Alright, we're looking for the money, what do we have?

(Box #7 spins around to reveal)

Peter: No money here Michael, but you'll be a real cut-up with this selection of hair-styling tools, including scissors, clippers, hot rollers, curling iron and flat iron, valued at $798, from Dermstore Australia!

Well no money Michael, but a nice prize nonetheless. At the moment you are trailing Clement by a question on $25. Clement is on $30, and Kori is on $5. Will Kori be able to fight back. Find out, after the break.....

[Shieldsy100]

THE VAULT IS OPENED

Good round there everyone, and it's nice to see you going in the right direction Kori, but Clement's jumped the gun, and now is on $40, meaning you have the chance to look in our vault, and possibly score yourself anywhere from $1 up to a possible $15,000. It will cost you $15 to play Clement, so are you a gamblin' man?

[CCSCO]

I'd gamble if I had a better lead. I want to protect it now.

[Shieldsy100]

What about if I knock it down to $10. Would you be interested in my offer then?

[CCSCO]

That's a dilemma... No thanks.

[Shieldsy100]

Alrighty, so Clement's not taking the bait. Oh well, I'll tempt you some other time. Back to the game.....

1) From what modern language do we get the term “cul-de-sac”
2) What do we call the defensive, water-filled ditch around a castle?
3) What is 2/5ths as a percentage

FAME GAME #2

And that was a good round everybody. Everyone was giving it a go, and everyone got some right answers, but Clement is still leading by a question. Kori, if you get this Fame Game right, and pick the $15 which is now on the board, that will take you to within 2 questions of Clement, with a correct answer to this...

(Apologies for the massive delay. Game should continue smoothly from here on in)

(buzzcode: 55)
*Michael buzzes in (91)*
Michael: Alex Rider?
CORRECT

You are absolutely correct Michael. It is Alex Rider, the creation of author Anthony Horowitz. It's a great series too, and I'd recommend give it a look some time. Now, to business Michael. You are currently $5 behind CLement, which means that the 2 cash amounts now on the board, will put you in front, but there's also some other stuff there, so which of the remaining numbers would you like?
