Yessir! *ding* *Fame Game sfx* You're now at a whopping $86! An almost $30 lead away from the champ, and even more away from Matt, but fellas I'll give you three the chance to increase your assets with the Fame Game! Our first of two for the day. I'll describe to you all a famous noun, title, phrase, or what have you, and it's up to you to figure out what I'm describing. Doing so gives you the right to choose at our Fame Game board, which has cash and prizes that can increase your score in the game, and also add to your prize collection, with the top prize today being $1,500 cash! *audience oohs, applause* Here we go fellas, hands on your buzzers. When you think you know it, buzz in. We're looking for a TITLE. I am a novel that follows two migrant workers, Lennie and George, as they seek work during the Depression with the goal they share of buying a place of their own where they can be in charge of their own lives. Lennie is not intelligent while George is. They find work on a farm and mix in with the other ranch hands. There is conflict with the foreman, a violent bully whose flirtatious wife seeks male attention. The wife and Lennie have an accidental clash that is the catalyst for the destruction of Lennie and George's time on the ranch. This brings an end to the dream of a farm as well as an end to Lennie. I received praise, but some criticized my story, accusing it of racial slurs and stereotyping and also euthanasia. Despite this, I am still required to be read in a number of English-speaking countries. What’s my name?
Bill: 44 Matt: 40 Mike: 55 Buzzcode: 78 *Mike buzzes in* It's the champ!

One of my favorite stories, you're right! *cheers* Now... Champ, you were at this board before, although it looked a little different. Last time you won a laundry package, so we replaced it with another special prize. Go ahead and pick a square please!

In tile number 3 we have... A $15 money card! *fanfare, applause* Ooh we got a game going now! Mike is now one question away from taking Bill over and going to first place! Matt needs a few questions to get back into the runnings, let's see what happens with the next wave of definitions starting with this: "Without qualification". Bill: 2 Matt: 24 Mike: 28 Buzzcode: 14 *Matt buzzes in* Matt!

Correct. *ding* *Instant Bargain sfx* Ooh, Bill you got that just in time, it's time for another Instant Bargain! This one goes to Mike this time. Mike, here's what we'll offer you: *prize cue* Alexis: Mike, how would you like to win 2 offroad motorbikes? Yamaha took the championship winning YZ450F and made it even better—more powerful, lighter, slimmer, with enhanced overall stability and more agility than ever! Because the best don’t rest. The 2024 YZ450F's slim, flat, compact body eases rider movement for improved control, including seamless, rounded features from seat edges and side covers to the narrow fuel tank and front shroud. These bikes normally sell for...$5,696! But here on Sale of the Century, they can be yours for just... $20!
*cheers* Can you imagine that, Mike? A $5,000 prize for $20, talk about a deal! Mike, what do you think about those bikes?
