Episode 1
December 17

Twenty-four people are about to play for over $1 million over six nights. All you have to do is a) know the correct answers, and b) convince your opponents that you don’t know the answer. When the result comes down to the last chip, ANYTHING can happen.

LET’S DUEL!

Our host Mike Greenberg (from “Mike & Mike in the Morning”) introduces us to the Duel table, where a high school dropout has the same chance as a college professor. Just depends on strategy, knowledge, and nerve.

First up, Sue, an internet censor from Seattle. She works on a website where people can upload their own videos. She will have to choose from three players randomly selected from the gallery of 24… The players chosen for her: Jim the fire captain from El Segundo, CA, Marco the ATM tech from Westbury, NY, and Denise the attorney from Colorado Springs, CO.

Sue chooses… Marco. “The hood? I don’t know. He seems all brawn, no brains.”

Now the rules: each player will get 10 chips worth $5000 each. When Mike reveals the multiple choice question, the players will cover what they think is the correct answer with a chip. They can cover any or all of the answers to hedge their bets, but there is a catch. For every incorrect answer, they will lose that chip. There is no time limit unless someone pushes the pressure button. Players can press each other to answer a question within seven seconds. Pressure buttons can only be used twice. Win the duel, the money you have is yours to keep as is the challenge.

Player who answers a question incorrectly FIRST is eliminated.

DUEL 1: SUE vs. MARCO

Correct... C. $20,000 goes into the Jackpot. It’s the first of many.

Sue: “Well, oh crap comes to mind.”

Correct: B. 2 + 8 = 10. $10,000 goes into the pot. Marco leads, 8-6.

Everyone stays. Correct: D. $20,000 more into the pot. Crowd starts cheering. Iranian flag is red, white, and green. Marco leads, 7-3. Sue cannot cover every option on this…

Correct: B. Another $20,000, and Marco still leads, 4-2.

Someone is going to lose all of their chips AND their place in the game. Correct answer… A! Sue stays, Marco’s going home.

Now here’s the deal. The money lost during the duel is going into a growing jackpot. Under it, there are four seats in the gallery for leaders. That’s where Sue wants to be on Sunday night. Right now, she’s at the top of the board with $10,000.

Sue gets to choose from three more… Pat the software engineer from Dayton, OH, Denise the attorney (again), and David the author from Burlington, WI.

Sue elects to duel against... Denise. “Do not ever cross me. I am not as sweet as I look.”

DUEL 2: SUE vs. DENISE

Correct: A. Both are right, and both are perfect.

Both played it the same. Correct: B. Red, white, and green plus 3 plus AJ and Meadow.

Another $30,000 is going into the pot, and the ladies move on. Correct: B.

If it’s D, then Denise is done. If not, then Denise will lead it, 4-3. The correct answer: C. Denise leads, 4-3. Another $25,000 in the jackpot.

If it’s A, then Sue is gone. If it’s D, we go to a Shootout tiebreaker. Correct answer: C. Another $15,000 into the pot, and we’re tied at 2 a pop.

Sue’s convinced she’s done. Correct answer… B! Denise wins her first duel and $10,000 to go with it. And the jackpot now...

Now Denise gets to challenge out of these three… Pat the software engineer, Monica the student from Tucson, AZ, and Robert the used car salesman from Canada, KY.

Denise likes Monica’s dress. The student gets the calldown.

DUEL 3: MONICA vs. DENISE

Monica plays it safe. Discretion is the better part of valor. Correct: A. Monica leads, 10-7. Another $15,000 into the jackpot.

If the answer if C or D, we go to a Shootout. The correct answer:... C. We go to a sudden death Shootout! Meanwhile, it’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, executive, judicial, and legislative.

There are no ties in Duel. We go to a Shootout. First of all, all of the chips are gone. That is the penalty for a wrong answer in Duel. Monica & Denise will get four new chips with no cash value. Whoever answers the next question correctly using the LEAST amount of chips will win the Duel.

Shootout question...

If the answer is A or B, then Monica wins. If not, then Denise wins. Correct: A. Monica wins. She’s still on the board… and now so is Monica.

Next up, Monica will challenge Jim the fire captain OR Julie the homemaker from Walnut Creek, CA OR Robert the used car salesman.

Monica draws... someone tomorrow on Duel.
