Last call for Raymond - if I do not hear back from you by Monday morning (Sydney time), I may consider stopping the game altogether and declare Greg the winner by default.

As an aside, there will also be a slight change to the Fame Game from the next episode onwards:
* Six cards to choose from
* First Fame Game will have a $10 card
* Second Fame Game will have a $20 card and "Wild Card" added
* Other cards will have prizes as usual

I have unfortunately decided to disqualify Raymond from the game as I have not heard from him in a week.
I have also discussed the situation with Greg, and I have given him the choice of ending on his current score of $47, continuing the game with Greg's answers only, or replacing Raymond with another contestant.
As only Greg is left, I will not include buzzcodes with his answers.
15. Colloquially, to drink alcohol to excess is to “hit the WHAT”?
GREG - Bottle
Yes; there were a few others - hit the "sauce", hit the "booze", etc.
And since you've passed the $55 mark, naturally you'll get a crack at the final Gift Shop.

This Orca Round Pool is perfect for a backyard splash, a quick swim, and a great space saver for your backyard. 15 feet in diameter, the pool also includes an automatic chlorinator, durable resin decks and uprights, and is guaranteed for 20 years. Normally $6,105, this time it's just $15 from Dri-Clad Pools and Sale of the Century.  Greg, do you have enough room at your place for a swimming pool? |

Well, we could make room for it in the back, but it'd be a pain to mow the lawn around it.
And since I'm playing against the house now, why don't you make me a deal?

ESP's at it again  I'll throw in $3,000 for upgrades. And I'll do something I may never do again - I'll bring back the camera and $3,000 you'd turned down earlier. So we're looking at $15,604 of cash and prizes for... wait for it... just $1. |

Oh, and before I forget, there was that $3,000 Sale Surprise from earlier, and it's yours as well So that's $18,604 in the one hit - a real nice shot. |

Okay, so again Greg's playing against the house, and here is the score as it stands:
16. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an 1876 novel written by what American author?
GREG: Mark Twain
Yes.
17. “i’m lovin’ it” is the slogan of what fast food chain?
GREG: McDonald's
That's also right.
18. From 1979 to 1981, American one-dollar coins were minted featuring what women’s rights activist?
GREG: Susan B. Anthony
Correct.
19. In golf, what two-word term can be used in place of “albatross” meaning “three under par”?
(Greg passed on this question)
We needed Double eagle, but we won't rule you incorrect on passing.
20. What kind of animal is a “whip-poor-will”?
GREG: a bird
It's a bird.
21. What British band had a 1975 Top 5 hit with “I’m Not In Love”?
GREG: 10cc
That's right.
22. An ENT specialist specializes in what three parts of the body?
GREG: ears, nose and throat
That's it!
And Greg's the champion again; technically he won by default but it was a close game early on.
We'll look at what Greg can buy after this.

NOTE:
As there was a technical error in the first game, we will also add Greg's score of $46 from that first game; more details later.

Given how crazy the game has been, I'll let this ad break do the talking.

And we're back now.
Greg, what did you make of the game today?

Well, playing against the house sure is fun. Especially when I can get a swimming pool, a camera, and $9,000 in cash for only a buck! I reckon that comes to $6,859.35 American.

Well, here's your situation now. Following that technical issue from the first game, I have decided to add the $46 that you had at the end of that game. You now have a combined total of $223, so you can easily take the Sea Doo. If you choose to come back, you'll need only $17 to pick up the QANTAS Gift Certificate. But if you win with at least $107, you can take home the Long Beach sofa set.  And there's still the gold bars, the Alfa Romeo, plus the $100,000 cash to play for as well. What's your decision? |
