(buzzer)No, it is not Yvette Nicole Brown. Good guess but wrong. Big break for Frank. Frank, once I reveal all six clues, I'll read the puzzle in full, and you'll have three seconds to solve it (right on the thread). Let's see the remaining words.

[JOEL McHALE]
The correct answer was Joel McHale, not John McHale. I'm sorry, Frank. I know you probably meant to say "Joel", but it came out "John". Stacey, for the record, where is the $10 Money Card? |

Stacey: #6 (she turns over the #6 spot to reveal the $10 Money Card, we're not going to show you the board just yet because it doesn't matter) Greg: Joel still doesn't hold a candle to Jim, Bob, or Bill. Nicholas has a commanding lead. Will he hold onto it? Find out in Round 2, after this commercial time-out.
Frank: $25
Vahan: $15
Nicholas: $44

[Sorry for the delay. Was waiting on Steve, but now we must press on.] (fade in) Greg: Welcome back. We've given away two of these so far this week, and they're real beauties. Isn't that right, Steve?  [Car Plug]Yes indeed Greg, one of our grand prizes this week is this luxury car. The 2020 Ferrari Portofino allows drivers to soak up the sun and have fun chasing the horizon. With a body that looks seductive no matter if the retractable hardtop is up or down, this front-engine four-seater epitomizes the grand-touring ethos. Whether the twin-turbo V-8 is rocketing it around or emitting operatic sounds, this Italian-built speedster is a joy to drive and hear.
Furnished by Herb Chambers Ferrari.
With on-road costs and a ruby Ferrari keychain from Germani Jewelry, this vehicle showcase is priced at ...
Now back to Greg Palmer....and $ale of the Century!

That's a great prize. A great prize. Almost $19,000 in clothes. Nicholas, I know San Francisco is a very fashion-forward city. Surely you could use a prize like this, am I right?

Oh, I'm a big guy, myself. As is Mitch. So, big and tall stores will gladly take your money, and to be quite honest with you, this is a monthly check. And I'll tell you what I'll do.... I'll make it an even $20,000. You have a $19 lead, it'll cost you $12. You'd have just a shade over a single-question lead. $20,000 for 12 bucks, and you'd still be in the lead. Going once.... going twice....

(Nicholas hits his buzzer, audience cheers) He's going to buy! Congratulations.... [$ALE SURPRISE](audience cheers louder) And it's a $ale Surprise! Who has the envelope? (All of a sudden, Ralph Fiennes walks in, cheers and applause) Oh my gosh, it's Lord Voldemort! Ralph: No, it's just me, Ralph Fiennes.Greg: Oh yes, Ralph Fines. Ralph: It's actually pronounced RAYF FYNEZ.Greg: Rayf Fynez? Ralph: Yes, Rayf Fynez.Greg: You know, if you kept that spelling of your name, you could be a star in Israel. (audience chuckles) What do you have for us, Rayf? Ralph: Well, Nicholas, as you know, it's not clothes that make the man. Manners maketh man. So, I would like to cordially invite you and 12 of your friends to the world premiere of The King's Man, when it finally does open in December. (audience cheers) I'd also like to invite you and 12 of your friends-- they don't have to be the same ones-- to the world premiere of No Time to Die, when that opens in October. (audience cheers) Greg: Well, that's very nice. Thank you, Rayf. I'm sure Nicholas will enjoy those prizes immensely. Ralph: And there's more in the envelope.Greg: Alright.... (I open the envelope) Oh, you're right. This is a 20th Century check if ever I saw one. I already bumped it up to $20,000 even; but there's a $5,000 check in here. So, you've got $25,000 in cash and prizes, plus the world premiere tickets, which we can't even put a value on... all for $12.
Frank: $30
Vahan: $30
Nicholas: $37
And Nicholas has a $7 lead over the two challengers. Thank you for coming, Rayf. Rayf Fynez, everyone! (Ralph bows) (Brain Drain coming up when Steve writes it) |
