Will they go for double or nothing on the Video Bonus? It's coming down to "Rock-Paper-Scissors...." And they're going for it!

But oh well. Passengers: Meredith & Deb They too sweep the $50 questions. $100: What does the RP in RPTV stand for? Radial pulse... strike one. It was "rear projection". But it's okay, because they end up with $700 in the Cab o'Cash. Drinks for everybody or one more question with Ben? They're taking the money. Next up... Passengers: Sara & birthday boy
Sean They would've swept the lower tier were it not for this... $50: Derived from a Latin word meaning "to gulp down", which of the seven Deadly Sins corresponds to the Holy Virtue of self-restraint?

Gotten for $1350! Will they go for the double at the Joshua Tree? "We're going to be dull and take the money." Happy birthday, Sean! Second half begins with... Passengers: Chris & Jamie First question. Good. Second... $50: Introduced in 1961, what hair coloring for men is manufactured in White Plains, NY... not Athens? Not Just For Men...
