For those who missed the poll, we're staying with the shopping format! Michael Clifford has $340 in his bank, and now just needs $105 for a cruise around the world worth over $84,000. Who wants to take him on?

------------------ (drumroll) (shot of Michael Clifford) Charlie Tuna: (VO) This is our returning champion Michael Clifford, from Marlton, New Jersey. Stand by to see him play for a cruise around the world, valued at $84,246![OPENING THEME] Today, on America's biggest bargain sale, we're offering an Aston Martin valued at $156,289 for $530!
All the prizes, plus a cash jackpot of $875,000 for $750!
Two of the incredible bargains on......
(echo)  And now, here's the man who makes Monday the fun day ...... Greg Palmer!(the doors open and I run to my lectern, this time wearing a tuxedo)Greg: Thank you. Thank you very much, Charlie. Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, this is the $ale. It's sweeps week, and that means big prizes, an Aston Martin on offer, and the network asks me to wear a tux. And, believe it or not, this suit was made by the same tailor that Daniel Craig used in Skyfall. (I walk out and turn around for the audience, who approves) Very nice, huh? Just try ordering something from the commissary in it. We have a champion who is doing very well right now. Let's welcome him back. Michael Clifford! (audience cheers) Now, Michael, last time, you won a motorcycle. Have you gotten the license for it, yet? |

Uh...no, (audience laughter) but I did get Charlie Sheen's autograph after the last show. Thanks Charlie!

Yes, we can all thank Charlie Sheen for coming, and we can also thank him for leaving. Now, you have $340 in your bank. If you won today with just $105, and based on your past performances, that shouldn't be hard, you'll win a cruise around the world worth over $84,000. If you get to $190 and win, which might be a tad more difficult, then you'll get that Aston Martin Charlie mentioned at the top of the show. So are you ready to go for it?

All right. Here to introduce the challengers is Bérénice Marlohe! (Bérénice walks out from behind the Fame Game board to cheers and applause, we greet each other)  Bonjour, Bérénice. Bérénice: Bonjour.Greg: Now, you were a Bond girl, so you know something about Aston Martins. Bérénice: I do.Greg: All right, then. Who did you bring for us? (as Bérénice introduces the contestants, the doors open and models of the opposite gender escort players to their seats)Bérénice: He's an aspiring broadcaster from Elba, Alabama. Here's James Greek! And he already works in television for another network. From Gulfport, Mississippi; please give a warm welcome to Doug Morris! (cheers and applause) Greg: Thank you. Now, if James looks familiar, he should be. Last week, he won a $ale Surprise which entitled him to commentate in the booth during the 2018 Super Bowl. However, the NFL said (I shake my head) "Uh-uh, you can't do that." So, we've brought him back. But we'll come back to you in a moment. First, we have Doug. Hiya, Doug. Would you please tell us a little more about yourself? |

Well James, we meet again. What's been happening with you since last we met?

Doug: $20
James: $20
Michael: $20
And we have the questions loaded up here on my console. Michael's magic number is one-oh-five for a cruise around the world. Let's play $ale of the Century!(the lights dim)(audience chuckles as I look around) Where'd that come from? Oh well.
1. What HBO sitcom character is known for using the phrase "prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay, pretty good"?
2. What instrument did the Greek god Pan play?
3. Complete this saying: "Out of the frying pan..."
4. What's the only nation ever to leave NATO?
5. What president suggested the idea of a Peace Corps in a speech at the University of Michigan?
(buzzcodes and answers, please) |

What president suggested the idea of a Peace Corps in a speech at the University of Michigan? (buzzcode: 93) *Michael buzzes in (66)*Michael? Michael: John F.

And since it is St. Patrick's Day coming up, your significant other might enjoy this. This highly elegant matching ring and band set comes precision set with twenty eight round prong set very well matched diamonds with total weight of 0.56cts. accenting a 0.48ct. round shape emerald.

All right, all right. No sale, then. The man really wants that cash jackpot. (I walk back to my lectern) He maintains a slender $5 lead.
Back to the questions.
1. According to superstition, what seafood should only be eaten in months with the letter "R" in them?
2. In what state would you find the cities of Rome, Naples, and Rochester?
3. What consonant is sometimes counted as a vowel, but never on Wheel of Fortune?

1. According to superstition, what seafood should only be eaten in months with the letter "R" in them? (buzzcode: 68 ) *Michael buzzes in (96)*Michael? Michael: oystersThat is exactly right. This myth is based in truth, in that in the Northern Hemisphere, oysters are much more likely to spoil in May, June, July, and August. Another $5 for the champ. (ding)
Doug: $10
James: $25
Michael: $35
2. In what state would you find the cities of Rome, Naples, and Rochester? (buzzcode: 49) *James buzzes in (46)*James? James: New YorkI think Rochester gave it to you. You're now only $5 behind the champ. (ding)
Doug: $10
James: $30
Michael: $35
3. What consonant is sometimes counted as a vowel, but never on Wheel of Fortune? (buzzcode: 3) *Doug buzzes in (66)*Doug? Doug: Y.Because I want to know, that's why. Oh, that's your answer. You're right for $5, going back up to $15. (audience cheers) (ding)
Doug: $15
James: $30
Michael: $35
For control of the Fame Game board, buzz in when you know this famous fictional character. I am a fictional character created in 1934 with the middle name of Fauntleroy. I made my first appearance in the same year in The Wise Little Hen. In the two decades after that, I have appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards. The origins of my name may have been inspired by an Australian cricket legend. Dick Lundy is credited for developing me as a character. Internationally, I am very popular in Europe, especially Italy, where I am known as Paolino Paperino. My two dominant personality traits are my short temper and my positive outlook on life. (buzzcode and answer, please) |

(buzzcode: 60) *James buzzes in (56)*James? James: Little Lord(wrong)And that is wrong. No money lost, but you are locked out for the rest of the question. (buzzcode: 58) *Doug buzzes in (43)*Doug? Doug: Donald Duck!You are right! (audience cheers) Can you believe that? Donald Duck has the middle name of Fauntleroy. Nicely solved. Where is the $10 Money Card? |
