1. If you suffer from phobophobia, what do you fear? (buzzcode: 52) *Danny buzzes in (40)*Danny? Danny: Photos(buzzer)Actually, that's scopophobia. Phobophobia is the fear of phobias. More specifically, of the internal sensations associated with that phobia and anxiety. Sorry, you lose $5, down to $20.
Ian: $20
Bob: $25
Danny: $20
This is working well for you, isn't it, Bob? 2. Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., and most recently Abiy Ahmed have all won what award? (buzzcode: 98) *Ian buzzes in (45, 1st to respond)*Ian? Ian: Nobel Peace Prize?Yes, that's right, you go to $25. (ding)
Ian: $25
Bob: $25
Danny: $20
3. What kind of tree produces prunes? (buzzcode: 53) *Bob buzzes in (70)*Bob? Bob: date tree?(buzzer)Oh no.... believe it or not, a plum tree. A prune is a dried plum, while a raisin is a dried grape. Sorry, you lose $5, now you're down to $20.
Ian: $25
Bob: $20
Danny: $20
And with that, Ian takes the lead, but it's still anybody's game as we go into the first Fame Game. Now, our Fame Game runs a lot differently than the other Fame Games you've seen before. I don't read random facts about a person, place, or thing. Instead, we have a six-word puzzle. Here's the board.... (whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
And here's a sample puzzle we've cooked up. (beep)
[____HOST_____] [_____________] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
Host. (beep)
[____HOST_____] [_____OF______] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
Of. (beep)
[____HOST_____] [_____OF______] [___"$ALE"____]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
"$ale". *Stacey buzzes in*Stacey: Glenn Ridge?(buzzer)Nope. Maybe two more words would help you. (beep)
[____HOST_____] [_____OF______] [___"$ALE"____]
[____AND______] [_____________] [_____________]
And. (beep)
[____HOST_____] [_____OF______] [___"$ALE"____]
[____AND______] [___"HIGH_____] [_____________]
"High". Stacey: Ohhhhh, it's you.
[____HOST_____] [_____OF______] [___"$ALE"____]
[____AND______] [___"HIGH_____] [___ROLLERS"__]
That's right. Host of $ale and High Rollers. That would be me, Greg Palmer. It's rather simple. We have a six-word puzzle that leads to a person, place, or thing. This time, we're looking for a famous PERSON. (whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
[_____________] [_____________] [_____________]
(contestants, please PM me the lowest number of clues you need to solve the puzzle, plus a buzzcode from 1-100, low bid gets first shot at it) |

(he stops)Oh no, he stops at #7. What do we have back there, Burton? Burton: $1,500 in cash!(audience cheers) Greg: Yes, there's $1,500 in cash. To make things much easier, we have cash prizes hidden up on the board, including a big $10,000 prize. We've been getting cards, letters, e-mails, tweets, and comments complaining about our prizes. So, in an effort to stimulate the economy, we're putting cash in the Fame Game board until further notice. Bob, that cash is yours regardless of how well you do in the game. We've got three fine players, and we'll be back after this time-out. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
[WHERE'S THE WALRUS?]Burton: (VO) If one of our contestants wins with a score of $100 or more, we'll be adding this prize to the Winners' Board.
If the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT is a reinvention of the pure sports car, there's only one way to make it even purer: Open it up. With this GT roadster, the handcrafted AMG performance that's born on the track has been unleashed into an open sky. In the 469-horsepower AMG GT, 60 miles per hour arrives in 3.9 seconds. It comes with all the standard features, plus these options: Ventilated seats, a DINAMICA/Carbon Fiber Performance steering wheel, a Burmester Surround Sound system, illuminated door sills, Lane Tracking Package, and AMG RIDE CONTROL Sport Suspension. Furnished by Mercedes-Benz, a division of Daimler AG. It's a prize worth...
Mercedes-Benz, the best or nothing.
And now, here's Greg Palmer with more $ale of the Century!
(canned audience cheers) Greg: Thank you, Burton. Welcome back to our show. Here's how the scores look right now.
Ian: $25
Bob: $20
Danny: $20
Ian has a $5 lead over Bob and Danny, who are tied for second place. Back to the questions we go. 1. In what modified vegetable did Cinderella travel to the ball in?
2. What language was left unpunctuated until the modern age?
3. What are the characters Vladimir and Estragon always waiting for?
4. What is the capital of Louisiana?
5. What long-running sitcom was almost titled Six of One or Across the Hall?(buzzcodes and answers, please; you have 24 hours)

Oh. Well, you're making my job a little more difficult, aren't you? In that case, maybe I could throw in some cash. Bob seemed to like $600. In your case, I'll make it a nice round number and bring the total in cash and prizes to $11,000. This BBQ island and $1,212 in cash for $9. You'd still have a $1 lead. Tell you what, I'll drop the price to $7. You'd have a $3 lead. $11,000 for $7. $7 going once.... $7 going twice....
