(buzzcode: 72) *Greg buzzes in (63)*Greg: Kirby? *CORRECT*You are correct Greg! I am famed comic book designer and illustrator, Jack Kirby. Now, before you is a board of 9 numbers. Behind one of them is $10, and behind the rest are nice prizes, or things that can help you get an edge over your competitors. Which number would you like? [1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
[7][8][9] |

And behind #8 we find.....
TURBO
It's the TURBO, which means the next set of questions, will be worth double points for everyone. As we come to the end of our first round, Brian is on the lead on $35, Greg is a question behind on $30, and John is bringing up the rear on $20, but that set of TURBO questions could change things very quickly, so come back and join us, after this break......

Brian: $35Which current television show features the lands of Westeros and Essos? (buzzcode: 46) *Greg buzzes in (45)*Greg: Game of Thrones? *CORRECT*Greg: $40

Brian: $35An impatient and headstrong person is often referred to as being like “a bull at a WHAT?” (buzzcode: 86) *Greg buzzes in (63)*Greg: China shop? *INCORRECT*Unfortunately, the saying you implied would have been, "LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP".

John: $30
Brian: $35Rhyming with “think” is which sheet of ice, often used for skating (buzzcode: 28) *GREG BUZZES IN (28)*Wow, that Sale Chip seems to be getting a workout of late. Now Greg, I'm sure you know how this works. Get the answer right, and you earn that Sale Chip. That entitles to any gift shop, the Vault, or the Cash Card, free of charge. Also, if you keep until the end of the game, and win, regardless of your score, you'll have an extra chance to win that fabulous Audi convertible back there. Now, what is your answer! Greg: Rink? *CORRECT* And speaking of the Vault, it is officially now open! *THE VAULT IS OPENED*Greg, normally it costs you $15, but you have that little old Sale Chip. I'm not making any other offers. To enter that vault tonight, all you have to do is hand that Chip over to me, and you will have a shot at winning anywhere from $1 up to $15,000. Do you want to have a shot at it? |

(fade in on me at my podium)
Welcome back to the show, and John is looking mighty happy at the moment. Just before the break, he picked up the $15, and is now in the lead. Greg has the Sale Chip as well, so this could be a very interesting round. Here we go....

2. What were the first names of outlaws Parker and Barrow?
3. Which word means both a large bag of coarse cloth, and to dismiss an employee?

(buzzcode: 98) *Brian buzzes in (50)*Brian: Russian Roulette? *CORRECT* *GIFT SHOP TIME*Alright, it's time for another gift shop, and this one is particular tough, because not only does John get the opportunity, thanks to him being in the lead on $50, but Greg also has the chance, thanks to him having the Sale Chip in his possession. That means we'll have to try extra hard to pry some of their precious dollars away from them. Here's Karina....  Karina: Greg and John, sun, sand, surf and relaxation await you in the beautiful Bahamas. You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Sydney to the Bahamas for a 7 night stay in a one bedroom suite at the Taino Beach Resort & Spa.

We've included fun activities for you as well, like a cruise on a jet ski, a snorkel on the ocean floor, and even a ride on a glass bottom boat, and an all-expenses paid buffet meal every night! You won't ever want to leave! Normally priced at $12,649, tonight, rest and relaxation awaits you for just $12, from Taino Beach Resort, and Qantas, the Spirit of Australia!That is a really nice prize, over $12,000 dollars worth. I will turn to John first, since you're in the lead. John, how appealing does this sound to you? |

And John's got it. That takes you down to $42, but you're still within striking distance. Greg, since you also have the chance to purchase that prize, I'm going to offer it to you. All it will cost is you handing over that Sale Chip to me, and you can get that holiday, and the $1,000 spending money. Are you interested?

(buzzcode: 76) *John buzzes in (88)*John: Space Invaders? *CORRECT* *CASHCARD TIME*And Greg, it's time to play the pokies! I've got a slight feeling though, that this will be a tough sell, considering that you gave up your Sale Chip to buy that wonderful holiday earlier, and that you only have a lead of $3 over John. I'll still try though. It will cost you $15 to play, and you could win $11,000, or you could have the car on the board for the final round, if you should win. Are you tempted? |

Post by palmer7 on Jul 28, 2015 17:52:45 GMT -5
Eh, not really. When I have a $12,000 trip and CashCard is only 11-grand, then that kind of puts a damper on things. Perhaps if you lowered the price, I might be interested.

Unfortunately I have been told by the executive producers of this show, that I have given reduced bargains more than enough times in this show, so unfortunately I can't. So, that's my final offer. Going once, going twice......
(Greg takes his hand away from the buzzer)
NO SALE! Oh well. Where was the Cashcard tonight Karina?
Karina: The money was with Diamonds tonight, Cameron.
Alright, and with that said, it's time for the final Fame Game. Brian, just a heads up here, you do need a correct answer, and at least $10 off the board, to stay in the game. Here we go folks.
WHO ARE WE
We are an alternative rock band from Ontario, Canada. We formed in 1988, as a duo between singers Ed Robertson and Steven Page. At the end of 1989, we were joined by brothers Jim and Andy Creeggan. Eventually we added members Tyler Stewart in 1990 and Kevin Hearn in 1995. We have released 14 albums in our nearly 20 year career, our most famous album, being 1998's "Stunt" which featured the mega-hit, "One Week". Our music has also been featured on shows such as The West Wing, movies such as Digimon the Movie and American Pie. However, most recently we have become famous for providing the themesong to the American sitcom, "The Big Bang Theory". With a first name starting with B, and a last name meaning the opposite of "Men", we are Canadian alternative rock band, "BARENAKED WHAT?"
