I believe you're right! Back to $2,900. Clement and John, step up to the $1,000 challenge.
On December 3, 1967, medical history was made when Dr. Christian Barnard performed the first human heart transplant. Although the patient lived for 18 days, the operation was considered a success. In what unlikely country was this operation performed?

You're back on the plus side (Applause)! For the first time this game, I think, John did not earn money. He's at $5,200, Bill at $2,900, Clement at $600. Clement, the choice is yours.

You're up to $6,000. Bill and Clement, step up to the $1,000 challenge on ZODIAC SIGNS.
The 12 signs of the Zodiac are categorized into 4 different elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Name any one of the three Fire signs.

Post by jmdarrall on Jul 21, 2015 18:00:58 GMT -5
(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) We shall. Choose one of these three styles of dance. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)
LATIN for $600
TAP for $800
MODERN for $1,000

Here are the choices.
JOHN ($6,000): MODERN for $1,000
CLEMENT ($1,600): LATIN for $600
BILL ($2,900): TAP for $800
One of each. Clement, you're up first, and you get this question unopposed.
This Latin dance derives from a Brazilian colonial dance called the "carimbo." In the U.S., it gained popularity in the 1980s, partly due to the sensual, provocative movements and fashions associated with the dance. Most Americans call it "The Forbidden Dance," but it's called the...what?

Not the answer I have, I'm afraid...it's the LAMBADA. Down to $1,000. Be careful going into the last subject, Clement. We go to Bill now...for $800...
One of the most versatile entertainers in the second half of the 20th Century was this tap dancer who began performing at five years old. His movie credits include "History of the World, Part 1," "The Cotton Club," and "Running Scared." In 1992, he won a Tony for his performance in "Jelly's Last Jam." Name this performer.

I don't think this is right, but the only name that comes to my mind is Ben Vereen.

Post by jmdarrall on Jul 24, 2015 8:55:51 GMT -5
Oooh! Good guess, but not the answer we needed. It was GREGORY HINES. Ben Vereen is a well-known dancer, singer, and star of stage and screen, though. Having some trouble with this subject, I see. John, it's up to you. For $1,000...
This African-American dancer, choreographer, and AIDS awareness advocate became a pioneer of modern dance by fusing traditional ballet with African dance movements. His American Dance Theater produced many award-winning performances and talented performers. Name this influential man.

Right! (Applause) $7,000 for John, $2,100 for Bill, and $1,000 for Clement as we go to the last subject before the Final Challenge. The subject is BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMYS (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!), and here are the choices (BONG-BONG-BONG!). Choose wisely.
A GROUP for $600
A MAN for $800
A WOMAN for $1,000

I got everyone's choice, so let's see.
JOHN ($7,000): A WOMAN for $1,000
CLEMENT ($1,000): A GROUP for $600
BILL ($2,100): A GROUP for $600
John was the holdout, and he'll be last. Clement and Bill, step up to the $600 challenge.
The Best New Artist winners from 1996 originally came from Columbia, South Carolina. In the mid-1990s, they had hits like "Hold My Hand," "Time," and "Only Wanna Be With You." Now, their lead singer, Darius Rucker, has had a successful solo career as a country singer. Name the group.

(No one moves....)
Anyone?
(EH-EH!) Time's up! Oh, how quickly we forget...HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH was the group we needed. Clement and Bill stay where they are. John, this question is yours for $1,000.
The Best New Artist winner from 1988 got her start as a regular on "Soul Train" in the 1970s. By the end of that decade, she was singing in the R&B group Shalamar, but it was her solo work in the 1980s that got her the most recognition. Name this singer who was "Lookin' for a New Love."

She's the one! (Applause as End of Round cue plays)
With that sound, we have reached the end of Round Two. As we go into the Final Challenge, John is in the lead at $8,000, Bill is in second with $2,100, and Clement has $1,000. Despite his big lead, John can still be overtaken with some strategic wagering. Since everyone keeps his winnings, it's important that you wager carefully. Gentlemen, let's play the Final Challenge. The subject is...(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!)
ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS OF 2014
In a moment, you will see three categories: one worth even money, one worth double, and one worth triple. The higher the odds, the harder the question. You will have 24 hours to lock in a wager and a category choice. The highest wager in a category gets the first attempt at the question, but if that player is wrong, the second highest bidder will get a chance at the question, followed by the remaining bidder, if there is one. Remember, everyone will keep the money he has at the end of the Final Challenge, so wager carefully. The minimum bet is $5, and you must wager in $5 increments. Here are the available questions...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)
LAND for EVEN
AIR for DOUBLE
SEA for TRIPLE
You know the rules; you know the categories; gentlemen, the Challenge...is yours.
(Final Challenge think music plays)
Will John win a fortune? Or, will Bill or Clement pull off an upset? We'll find out soon. Stay with us!
