Incorrect! (Buzzer)Jack Skeleton was the protagonist. It was Oogie Boogie that was the main antagonist.  Good news for you though is that you don't lose any money for an incorrect answer. Now Nels, we head over to you. Do you want to answer your first question yourself for $10 or turn it into a Toss-Up for $25? |

Scott Calvin is right! (Audience Applause)That means that we'll give you $10 for the correct answer...  (Ding)...meaning that at the end of the first pass, William has $78, Matt has $90, and Nels at $110. Now, we're going to make one more pass before we go into part 2 of Fast Money. William, you're up again. Do you want your second question for yourself for $10 or make it a toss-up for $25? |

Oh dear... (Buzzer)To be honest, I haven't watched it either, but we're both going to learn right now that it was The Bumpuses. Now you know. You're still on $78 as we head over to Matt. Would you like your question to be $10 so you can answer it yourself, or make it a $25 Toss-Up? |

DK: OK, Matt has decided to make his second question a Toss-Up for everyone for $25. Hands on your buzzers, everyone. Oh, and just to let you know William and Nels, that if you buzz in and get the question wrong, Matt will earn $25 by default. With that said, here's the question. What is the name of George Bailey’s guardian angel in It’s A Wonderful Life?Magic #: 20  (Matt's Ring-In Code: 59)Matt. Matt: Clarence. DK: More information, please... |

Oh no, Matt... (Buzzer)You got the first name, but we also needed the last name, which was more important, and in this case, it was Clarence Odbody. Nevertheless, you'll stay at $90. Nels, we come over back to you one last time. Do you want your second question yourself for $10 or a Toss-Up for $25? |

It was actually in Santa's sack, but that's good enough! (Audience Applause)$10 shall be going into your score...  (Ding)...meaning that at the end of the second pass, William has $78, Matt has $90, and Nels at $120. (Audience Applause)And now, here we go with Part 2 of Fast Money, it's the Ca$h Countdown stage. This is where you will be going against the clock as I will now be asking questions at a rapid-fire pace, and each correct answer will now earn you $5, but if you're wrong, you lose $5, and we're going to do all of this in the span of 1 minute & 30 seconds. Players, look at your PM at this time and standby. You have until Wednesday, December 8th, 2021 @ 7:00 PM Eastern Time to submit your buzzcodes and answers. |

(Instant Bargain Time!)DK: Ah, and I was wondering when that was going to show up. It's time for our second Instant Bargain of the night, and this one may include a $ale Surprise, where there's extra cash available, but it's not guaranteed. Therefore Nels, since you are in the lead over William by $47, you have the opportunity to buy this...  (Both James and Tiffany modeling the shoes) Liza: Nels, we have 6 pairs of Jimmy Choo Shoes. 3 for him and 3 for her; for all activities in life. For men, we have Plain Black Moccas, Plain Red Hawaii Trainers, and Plain Blue Vlad Loafers. For women, we have Orange Thandi 100 pumps, Black Norway Trainers, and Khaki Savi 85 Boots!
And Nels, these shoes are normally priced at...$3,915 ...but tonight, on $ale of the Century Plus, it can be yours for only...$14 (Audience Applause)DK: Hey, those are some pretty nice shoes there! Haven't gone to Jimmy Choo myself, but I've heard that they have some good quality shoes. Nels, do you look good with those shoes?

(Tiffany hands me an envelope as I open it) ...you are going to get an additional... DK & Audience: $100... $200... $300... $400...  DK: $500 in cash! (Audience Cheers and Applause)So that was worth $4,415 for the price of $14, which will be deducted from your score...  ...bringing you down to $136, and with that, Round 2 is finally in the books! Now, to you folks at home, here's an interesting holiday question for you. Which country started the tradition of putting up a Christmas tree?I'll tell you the answer to that question after the break. Come right back for Round 3 on $ale of the Century Plus! Don't go away!

(Fade In) (Audience Applause)(Play from 7:13 to 7:15) DK: Yes, indeed, and welcome back to $ale of the Century Plus, and this is turning out to be one heck of a game so far as we recap the scores; William is at $103, Matt at $95, and Nels at $136. Before we move on any further, we got some unfinished business for the people who are playing with us at home. Before the break, I asked this question... Which country started the tradition of putting up a Christmas tree?If you've answered Germany, then put a star on top of your tree, because you would be correct! Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed by the brilliance of stars twinkling amidst evergreens. To recapture the scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with lighted candles. And the rest was history. And now here we are at Round 3, where the question values are now set at $15 apiece. Here's the first set of questions. Who is Batman's alter ego?Magic #: 75  (Nels' Ring-In Code: 77)Nels. Nels: Bruce Wayne. DK: The very one and that brings you up to $151.  (Ding)(Audience Applause)What music video was the first video on YouTube to have 1 billion views?Magic #: 60  (William's Ring-In Code: 67)William. William: Baby? DK: Wrong! (Buzzer)The video that was the very first one to reach one billion views was Gangnam Style. You lose $15 for that, bringing you down to $88.  Who famously photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono for Rolling Stone magazine on the day Lennon was killed?Magic #: --  (Nels' Ring-In Code: 96)Nels buzzes in as the others pass. Nels: Mark David Chapman. DK: Wrong! (Buzzer)It was actually Annie Leibovitz, the photographer. Mark David Chapman was the one who killed Lennon, but we're looking for the photographer, and for that, you go back down to $136.  What brand of watch "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"?Magic #: 50  (William's Ring-In Code: 66)William. William: Rolex?DK: Wrong! (Buzzer)Good guess, though. It was actually Timex. Down to $73 you go.  What city does Superman call home?Magic #: 64  (William's Ring-In Code: 88)William again. William: Metropolis. DK: There you go, and you have recovered $15 from that, bringing you back up to $88. (Ding)(Audience Applause)And since there was no Clean Sweep on this set, the Clean Sweep Jackpot goes up to... "CLEAN SWEEP" JACKPOT:
$2250(Ding)$2,250! (Audience Applause) |

(From 00:10 to 00:15) And that horn means one thing: It's time to play "Bargain Roulette" once again, and this is our final Bargain Roulette game of the night called Bargain Busters. We're now going to test your knowledge on some merchandise that we've purchased around the country. But first things first; you have to play our little game of Roulette! In order to participate, you must correctly predict on whether the ball will land on the Top part of the table, or in the range of numbers from 1 to 18, or on the Bottom part of the table, or in the range of numbers from 19 to 36. A correct prediction will give you the chance to win merchandise that is based on the manufacturer's suggested retail selling price at that particular store and in that particular location. Now, nothing's a closeout, or a clearance sale, but they are all bargains. Now, before we begin, we turn over to Liza, who has a die block on her hand, and she's going to throw it to the roulette table, and whatever number pops up, that will be the amount of prizes that we will offer for this game. The trick is that we will offer at least 3 prizes but no more than 6, so if a 1 or a 2 shows up on the die, we'll add that number by 3 and that will come up as the total number of prizes available. I'll show you all more how to play in a moment, but first, let's get started by making your predictions. William, Matt, and Nels. Top or Bottom? |

DK: And everyone has voted Bottom, but before we begin, we need Liza to roll the die to determine the number of prizes that will be offered for this game. This will also determine the maximum amount of spins for the Roulette Wheel. Liza, roll the die if you would. (Liza rolls the die onto the Roulette table)  It's a 6! (Audience Applause)That means that we're going to offer up to 6 prizes in this game, but we're going to have a maximum of 6 spins of the Roulette Wheel, regardless if the players' predictions are correct or not. That being said, let's spin the Roulette Wheel and roll the ball, Liza! (Liza spins the Wheel and rolls the ball in the opposite direction)  Liza: 36, Red. DK: That's at the Bottom category as it falls within the 19 to 36 range, which means that everyone gets to participate! Now, I want all 3 of you to take a look at this Patio Heater that we've found at a Lowes' store from Elizabeth, New Jersey.  Peter: The Lava 4G is an impressive 8’ ft tall, top-of-the-line flame tower that combines elegant design with outstanding heat functionality. The 4-foot live flame is encased in Lava Heat's signature shatter-proof Borosilicate glass tube and puts out an impressive 61,000 BTUs! This unit puts off satisfying heat and provides great natural light throughout the glass tube. The Borosilicate glass is a material similar to glass bakeware that withstands both extreme heat and cold and can be used with the high setting for hours even during rain, hail or snow. The glass also allows for 360° degrees of heat distribution in a 25 square foot radius, while the fire can be viewed from any angle. The 4G can be turned ON/OFF and adjusted with Lava Heat Italia's patented one-button, "Easy-Start" infrared electric ignition, which also includes a universal infrared remote that can be used to turn multiple units on at the same time.(Audience Applause)DK: Now players, in a moment, I'm going to ask you to PM me on what you think the Bargain Price was for that particular item. There will be 3 possible prices for that item, but only 1 of them is the real price. Each time you're correct, you'll score a checkmark. Whoever has the most checkmarks at the end of the 6 spins that we're allowed will not only win all the prizes you've played for, but will also score $20 into that player's account. Word of warning, though; In the event that someone has an insurmountable lead at anytime, we'll end the game right then and there, and that player wins the prizes that we've displayed up to that point, so do be careful to not get many of them wrong. Right! With all of that said, here are the 3 possible prices for that Patio Heater. A. $1678
B. $2000
C. $2117Remember, only one of these prices is the actual bargain price. PM me your answers at this time. You have until 1:00 AM Eastern Time at December 15th, 2021. |
