7. Who am I?
a. I was born in Texas in 1890 and died in 1969; my ancestors migrated to Pennsylvania in the 1740s.
b. I carried a family nickname which my brothers also used, but I was the only one to keep that nickname into my later life.
c. I graduated from the West Point academy in 1915, and I saw service in both the First and Second World Wars.

Let's reverse the order. Tony Barber, please.

I'm assuming you'll pick Reg Grundy again if you get the next one. (Don't forget there are other faces you can choose from as well.) Anyway, let's see what Tony has this time...   And it's an LG 65-inch Smart 4K television, with dynamic colour and contrast, and a wide range of entertainment options to choose from. And it's priced at $1,395 from LG Electronics. Nice pickup there, Greg. And it's a tight game at the moment, with both Raymond and Greg on $30 each. But there are still plenty of questions to go, so stay tuned. |

After that mad minute (or two), it's back into action for Raymond and Greg:
Greg is playing for the Sea Doo, but it's still anyone's game right now.
Next set of questions $5 each again.

9. Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender are all brands of what type of musical instrument?

Here we go.
8. As a verb, what word beginning with “F” means to provide false evidence against an innocent person of a crime?
(BUZZCODE: 69)
* Raymond buzzes in - 36 *
RAYMOND: falsify
We actually needed Frame as the answer.
9. Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender are all brands of what type of musical instrument?
(BUZZCODE: 45)
* Raymond buzzes in - 61 *
RAYMOND: guitar
Yep, you get your $5 back.
10. As of 2021, what was the most recent American city to host the Summer Olympics?
(BUZZCODE: 100)
* Greg buzzes in - 25 *
GREG: Atlanta (1996)
I'll pay on "Atlanta"; as you said, 1996 was the year.
Greg, you're the first to $35, so you can have a crack at the first Gift Shop.

If you're stuck on ideas for the perfect thing to buy for yourself, an Amazon Gift Card is the perfect choice. Amazon.com has millions of items to choose from, including books, electric appliances, clothing, music and much more. Normally priced at $2,000, for you it's just $5 from Amazon.com and Sale of the Century.  Greg, I don't think I have to ask if you're a big spender after what you've bought over the last few episodes.  Just $5 for this card and you'll be tied (again) with Raymond. |

Or, I can take it up to $3,000 for just $3.
Going once, going twice, going three times...

I love Amazon, but this is a close game. Either up the gift card, lower the price, or forget it.

I'd put in my offer just before your suggestion (bit of ESP there?  ), so I'll take your "Sold" offer. We'll do a "production pause" due to some other matters, and we'll be back as soon as possible. (Answers for the last few questions of the second set will still count.) |

Now with just $2 in it, this may prove to be a very close match again.

12. In a standard NFL game, how many points are scored in a “field goal”?

13. Former President Ronald Reagan served as the Governor of what state 1967 to 1975?
(BUZZCODE: 76)
* Raymond buzzes in - 44 *
RAYMOND: California.
California is right, and we have a real tough battle here now!
Now to our second Fame Game; Greg could possibly take the lead again, or Raymond could extend his lead.
We have all money cards ($10, $15 and $25) and the Wild card at the ready.
