John has become our new champion to the tune of $25,550. Please check in!
I also need two new challengers. If you did not play Episodes 4 or 5, you are eligible!
Who's ready to step up to the challenge?

So, it's Matt, Glen, and John...in 3, 2, 1....
(Theme plays as camera focuses on John)
Don Morrow: This is John. In his first game, he has won a total of $25,550 and is two games away from our $100,000 Ultimate Challenge! (Camera switches to Matt and Glen) This is Matt. And this is Glen. John, you are the champion! Matt and Glen, you are...
THE CHALLENGERS!
(Applause)
And now, here's the Master of the Challenge...JONATHAN DARRALL!
(I enter the stage to applause)
Me: Thank you, Don! And thank you, audience! Our last game was a good one, but John got on a real tear, emerging victorious with over $25,000. Glen and Matt, you'll have your work cut out for you today, I'm sure, but if you can outwit and outmaneuver him, you could come out on top with a lot of money. Gentlemen, turn your attention to the video wall as we show you the six subjects for Round One, where all questions are worth $300 to $500. John, you'll pick first from...
(Subject reveal cue)
THE WRATH OF KHAN
FAMOUS SNOWMEN
NAMES IN THE NEWS
DATELINE: 1915
THE CHEROKEE INDIANS
FROM WHICH LANGUAGE?
John, make the first selection.

Alright, I'll start with Names in the News

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) These are people who have been in the news as of the past week. Choose your profession, if you will. Remember, the higher the dollar value, the harder the question. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)
A POLITICIAN for $300
AN ATHLETE for $400
A CRIMINAL for $500
Please lock in your choice by PM.

Post by jmdarrall on Aug 6, 2015 13:47:59 GMT -5
Here are the choices.
MATT ($500): AN ATHLETE for $400
GLEN ($500): AN ATHLETE for $400
JOHN ($500): AN ATHLETE for $400
(WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! Audience applauds as screens flash) Whoa! Right away, our first triple. That means two things. First, we'll double the dollar amounts for each question.
A POLITICIAN for $600
AN ATHLETE for $800
A CRIMINAL for $1,000
Second, I'm going to pose the chosen question as a toss-up. Whoever wins it can try either, neither, or both of the remaining questions unopposed. Good luck, everyone. Let's step up to the $800 challenge on AN ATHLETE (PM me a code from 1-100, no answers. If you don't know, just PM "Pass" to avoid a penalty).
It's been quite a week for this Riverside, California native. On Wednesday, it was announced that she would play herself in the film version of her autobiography "My Fight/Your Fight." Three days before that, she decisively defeated Brazil's Bethe Correia in 34 seconds, retaining her title. Name this Ultimate Fighting champion.

Ronda Rousey

Post by jmdarrall on Aug 8, 2015 7:55:44 GMT -5
"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is right (Applause). Now, that gives you $800, but it also gives you a choice. You can try to add up to $1,600 more, risking the money at stake each time, or you can try another subject. Here are your options.
- Try A POLITICIAN for $600.
- Try A CRIMINAL for $1,000.
- Choose another subject (if so, which one?).
What do you want to do? (Audience makes suggestions)

For $1,000...
The most powerful drug lord in Mexico escaped from prison on July 11 of this year, and he's being hunted down. Earlier this week, U.S. authorities announced a $5 million reward for info leading to his capture. This drug lord's real name is Joaquin Guzman, but what is his better-known nickname?

Need to build up that early lead, so of course.

To bring your total up to $2,900...
In Thursday's Republican debate, this candidate drew fire for comments he made toward women like Rosie O'Donnell and moderator Megan Kelly. Just days later, his campaign manager Roger Stone, left his camp, possibly after being told "You're Fired!" Who am I talking about?

Yeah...it's him. I know I just deadpanned that one, but you're up to $2,900 early on. Matt and Glen, you can very easily do what John did. However, since John made the most on that subject, he gets to choose the next one. Here's what's left.

(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) These are about the events of 100 years ago. Choose an area. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)
FOREIGN AFFAIRS for $300
MOVIES for $400
EDUCATION for $500

Post by jmdarrall on Aug 11, 2015 10:16:14 GMT -5
Here's what we've got.
MATT ($500): MOVIES for $400
GLEN ($500): MOVIES for $400
JOHN ($2,900): MOVIES for $400
(WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! Audience applauds as screens flash) Here we go again! First, we'll double the dollar amounts for each question.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS for $600
MOVIES for $800
EDUCATION for $1,000
Second, the $800 question becomes a toss-up for the right to control the other two questions. Gentlemen, step up to the $800 challenge on MOVIES.
On February 8, 1915, this 3 hour, 10 minute film premiered as the longest film ever made up to that point. Portraying the racism of post-Civil War America in stark detail, this film was listed as one of President Wilson's favorites. Name the film.

Nicely done (Applause). You're now in the same boat as John was moments ago. You may try either or both of the other questions, risking the money each time, or go on to another subject. If you go all the way through, you'll tie John. Here are your options.
- Try FOREIGN AFFAIRS for $600.
- Try EDUCATION for $1,000.
- Choose another subject (if so, which one).

He'll hold at $1,300. John leads with $2,900. Glen is looking to make his move. This might be the subject. (CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!) THE WRATH OF KHAN is about famous people or characters named Khan. Choose your type. (BONG-BONG-BONG!)
FICTIONAL KHANS for $300
DEAD KHANS for $400
LIVING KHANS for $500

MATT ($1,300): FICTIONAL KHANS for $300
GLEN ($500): LIVING KHANS for $500
JOHN ($2,900): LIVING KHANS for $500
One fictional, two living. We'll start with Matt, as he was the holdout. Matt, this is for you only.
In Rudyard Kipling's classic, "The Jungle Book," what kind of animal is Shere Khan?
