Next player is ROBERT MARRERO of LA. The surgical tech is whipping our audience into a frenzy.

Time to meet the strangers for the first game.

Remember, every detail counts. Let's talk to some of these people...

#5 Tyson was a concert master at the CalTech orchestra. #12 has been married for 22 years. #2 Mark has a pet cat named Hubert.

For $1000... He wants to get the easiest one out of the way. Robert's a big fan of "American Idol". #6 looks sorta like Mikalah Gordon from two years ago. He's gonna go with that. FABULOUS!

For $5000... Is #10 in a cowboy hat a rodeo clown? "That is not my identity." Mistaken Identity is gone. He still has the Experts and the Tri-Dentity. The crowd seems to think #8 is the drama coach. He's going for it. ... Pause.... "How's THAT for drama!"

For $10,000... Robert is digging himself deeper with #7 not being pretty enough for Hawaiian Tropic. Instead, he locks in #1... "I'm no poser... because I AM the Hawaiian Tropic model!"

Next for $15,000... He wants #10 as the deer hunter. He burned him once. What say you, #10? "I'm sorry. That is not my identity." ... well who the hell are you then? "My name is Gary, and I live in an RV."

Game over. Robert wins nothing. What was the rest of the board?

2 - Mark is a rodeo clown.
3 - Tila Tequila, who has over 1 million MySpace friends... Don't think anyone at the 'net is amongst them.
4 - Travis is a test tube baby.
5 - Tyson holds the record for the Rubik's Cube.
7 - Andrea is the crime analyst
9 - Meredith hunts deer
11 - Olympic gold medalist Misty May was born in 1977
12 - Mark is a beekeeper.

Next player is NIKO JELCIC from Oak Lawn, IL, where he's a PE teacher. He deals with a lot of character. Let's meet 12 characters right now.

We start by talking to three... #2 Bridget loves horror movies. #12 Eugene once taught kindergarten. #4 Karina had tacos for breakfast.

For $1000... He goes with Sly Stallone's brother. He thinks #6 looks like Sly's brother... He locks it in, the lock of the century. "Hi, I'm Frank Stallone, and my brother is Sylvester Stallone."

For $5000... Niko tries Hugh Hefner's girlfriend. Are #2 and #7 hot enough, blond enough, and ... errm.. endowed enough? Niko locks in #2. Bridget? "I live at the Playboy Mansion, because I am Hug Hefner's girlfriend."

For $10,000... The Chippendales dancer... Niko locks in #1 after a bit of thought. After ripping his shirt off "I'm James the Chippendales dancer."

Next for $15,000... Celebrity bodyguard... either #12, #8, or #3. Not #3. He locks in #8. "Niko... You're safe with me."

Let's bring in some friends for Niko. There's his wife Kendra, cousin Debbie, and uncle Dan.

Next, for $25,000... #12... the hair is screaming Harlem Globetrotter. Eugene has a basketball in hand front and center... and some music plays while he performs some fancy handwork. He's right for $25,000.

All three helps remaining with $50,000 on the line. Next, #4 could be a plus-size model. That's a lock-in. If she's not a model, she should be... Karina? "No, that is not my identity." Mistaken Identity is used. So is the Tri-Dentity for the firefighter. It's #3, #9, or #10. #3 looks like a New Yorker. Niko's gut says #3. He's going with it... "I'm proud to say that I'm a New York City fireman."

Niko wants to buy some hair with his money. Halfway home for $75,000. #9's right leg looks awfully skinny. We go to the experts. Mark goes with #9, as he shifts. Stacy agrees...  So does Bill. We're going with #9, prosthetic leg. A lot of money riding on one leg. Show it to him... "Go get some prosthetic hair." Right on!

Going for $100,000 now with five strangers left and zero assists. The wife says to go home. Niko... is going to play on. His gut says that #11 is the plus-size model... but he loves his wife too much. He's going home with $75,000. But was he right? Yep.

The rest of the panel...

7 - Flight attendant
4 - Roller derby girl
5 - Never been kissed. He had half a mill...
10 - Shamu trainer.

He had it... and then he walked away from it. But he's got a wife to come home to at least. We'll see you next week. Until then, don't be a stranger.
