Michael has just won his second game and has an astounding total of $82,800! If he wins this episode, he will play our Ultimate Challenge for $100,000! Please check in, Michael.
I also need two others. I do ask that Kevin, Matt R., Clement, and Marc wait this episode out. Kevin and Matt will become eligible again in Episode 4.
Who's ready to step up to the challenge?

Ordinarily, I'd ask you to wait, but due to the long response time, I'll allow you to try again this time. We'll start later today.

It's Michael, James, and Matt, in 3, 2, 1...
(Theme music plays)
Don Morrow (with camera on Michael at his podium): This is Michael. In his two appearances so far, he has won $82,800! If he wins today, he'll be eligible for our Ultimate Challenge worth $100,000! (Camera switches to faces of other players) This is James, and this is Matt. Michael, you are the champion! James and Matt, you are...
THE CHALLENGERS! (Applause)
And now, here's the master of the challenge...Jonathan Darrall!
(I enter): Thanks, Don! Thank you, everyone for being here on what will be an exciting day, for sure. Michael has already had quite the profitable time here, winning over $82,000 in just two games! He has the chance to win $100,000 before this game is through. James and Matt, this mean the challenge will be quite an intense one for you...he's sharp. We'll start everyone off with $500 in your Capital One bank accounts (BONG!). Gentlemen, please direct your attention to our video wall as we begin Round One with these subjects (subject reveal cue).
IT'S-A ME, MARIO!

We've got our choices. Let's see what we have.
MICHAEL ($500): PETER GABRIEL for $500
JAMES ($500): "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC for $400
MATT ($500): "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC for $400
Michael had held out, and he'll go last. In the meantime, James and Matt, step up to the $400 challenge (PM a buzz code from 1-100. If you don't know, PM "pass," so you won't be penalized).
In his 1984 parody "I Lost On Jeopardy!," Weird Al gets shamed and humiliated by what legendary television announcer?

The man with the golden voice, to be sure. Michael, you're up now.
Peter Gabriel's first solo top ten hit in the U.K. took its title from a game show that started in France in 1965. The French title of that show, "Jeux Sans Frontieres," is mentioned in the lyrics, but the title of the song is the English translation of that phrase. Translate the phrase, and you'll name the song.

That's right! We also would have accepted "Games Without Borders." Michael is in the lead with $1,000, James with $900, Matt with $500. Since Michael got the most money on the last subject, he'll get to choose the next one. Which one would you like?

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) These questions are about famous tennis players. Choose your decade (BONG-BONG-BONG!).
THE 1990s for $300
THE 1980s for $400
THE 1970s for $500

Let's see the choices.
MICHAEL ($1,000): THE 1970s for $500
JAMES ($900): THE 1990s for $300
MATT ($500): THE 1980s for $400
Everyone gets his own question. James, this one is for you for $300.
Regarded by many as the best male tennis player of that time, he won six Wimbledon titles, four US Open titles, and two Australian Open titles in the 1990s. He is the 4th highest-
earning tennis star of all time. Name this Greek-American tennis legend.

That's right! Good for $1,200. Matt, over to you for $400.
This 17-year-old became the youngest tennis pro ever to win a Grand Slam Singles title when he won the 1989 French Open. He was known for being one of the fastest players in the game, and helped popularize the jumping two-handed backhand. Name this Taiwanese-American star.

Correct! Now, we go to Michael for the $500 question.
This player was seen as a heroine for the Women's Lib Movement, favoring equal pay for women athletes. In 1971, she became the first female athlete to earn over $100,000 in a year. Two years later, she won her fifth Wimbledon Singles title and became the first woman to defeat a man in professional play. Name her.

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) Get ready to have some fun with this one. I'll give a clue for a two-word rhyming phrase. The first word is a nationality, and the second word rhymes with it with the same number of syllables. For example, "You're in Paris, sitting on a long, wooden seat in the middle of a park. You're sitting on a...what, what?" The answer: FRENCH BENCH. Got the idea? I sure hope so. Choose your syllable length (BONG-BONG-BONG!).
ONE SYLLABLE EACH for $300
THREE SYLLABLES EACH for $400
FOUR SYLLABLES EACH for $500

Post by jmdarrall on Jan 26, 2015 16:00:29 GMT -5
Here are the choices.
MICHAEL ($1,500): THREE SYLLABLES EACH for $400
JAMES ($1,200): ONE SYLLABLE EACH for $300
MATT ($900): ONE SYLLABLE EACH for $300
James and Matt, step up to the $300 challenge.
You're in Amsterdam, and you find out that your rental car has a manual transmission. To shift gears, you must step on the...what, what?
