<---ATLANTIC CITY--->[---8---][---9---] ["CLASS"]Steve: (VO) It's a trip to Atlantic City! You and a guest will spend seven nights in a world-class hotel and have a chance to strike your own fortune with $4,000 in credits at a casino.
This vacation is brought to you by Travelsavers, the leading travel directory. Call 1-800-266-SAVE. Your prize is valued at $8,000!(audience cheers) Greg: Doesn't help your score any, but the game is still young. We'll be back in two and two, or whenever. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Greg: We're back with more $ale. You're probably wondering why Brendan didn't get the Lockout, the Bonus Pick, the Double Play, the Decision or the Major Wager. I am wondering the same thing myself. Well, you never know exactly what's going to be up here.
James: $45
Frank: $25
Brendan: $25
James has a $20 lead over Frank and Brendan. Brendan is risking $53,157 in cash and prizes, but I believe he has more than that now in guaranteed winnings, so it's still going to be a nice payday. Back to the questions. 1. In what US city do all three of the pro sports franchises use the same two main team colors?
2. What animated franchise starring Mike Myers takes its name from a Yiddish word meaning monster?
3. From 1969 until his death in 1974, Georges Pompideau was the president of what European country?
4. What place did Dante describe as having "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here" written over its doors? (buzzcodes and answers, please)
