For $1000, Seth goes with the lifeguard. Is it #6
William? "Congratulations."
Next, for $5000, Seth tries to pick the
ventriloquist. He seals #1 Bruce... I think it's a safe bet to say... he's
wrong. "Seth, when I talk, I move my mouth. Sorry." Mistaken Identity is gone.
He tries again with born in India. He seals in #7... "Seth... I was raised in
Kentucky... But I WAS born in India." He plays on.
Next, for $10,000... the contortionist... He
thinks #9 is slinky, but #4 is athletic. He uses the Tri-dentity for pro
jumproper. That's #4, #8, or #9. He seals #4 as his jumproper. Tony... are
you a jumproper? He is handed a jumprope... and Tony goes to town. And Seth goes
to $10,000!
Seth wants to know about #1, Bruce. He saw "The
Right Stuff" the most and has two dogs. He uses the experts on Special Ops. Mark
gives it to #11. Dr. Deborah goes with #11. Chris says it's #11. Seth goes with
it... And he also finally gets #1. He seals #11 as the Special Ops Officer.
"Seth, if I tell ya, I'd have to kill ya." That's $15,000! He recently served a
one-year tour in Iraq.
Time to meet the family. Barry Schwartz, Terry
the sister in law, and Tony. They tell him.. #1, Bruce, Olympic Gold Medalist.
Seth goes with it... Bruce?
"Seth, today, you finally win the gold." That's
Bruce Jenner!
Seth's still in the game for $50,000 or
nothing.... He seals #12 as the Michael Jackson juror. Ellie, are you the juror?
"Guilty, your honor!" She calls it 6 1/2 months of the worst time of her life.
Seth's halfway to half a mill. And that's all he's good for. He wins $50,000..
The rest of the identities...
Seth wanted to go with #8 as the ventriloquist...
He would've been right.

And Seth's identity, $50,000 winner. Next up,
TAMI JONES from West Hills, CA. She's a management consultant who thinks she's
good at this.
In the gallery today... someone who had a high
school GPA of 3.75, someone who is fluent in Arabic, a rock collector, a
champagne and caviar connoisseur, someone who's blunt, a philosophy major from
Berkeley, a singer, and a martial artist.

Tami starts with Miss USA 2006. She whittles it
down to #1 and #5. She goes with #5... and a few people disagree. Is Tanya our
Miss USA 2006? "I'm flattered, but no." Mistaken Identity is gone. She tries #1
next... Boos from the audience. Okay, how about the guitarist? She seals #2...
"Yes I am the guitar player."
Next, Tami asks the experts on the virgin. Mark
whittles it down to #6 and #7. Dr. Deborah says probably #6. Chris makes a pure
guess at #1. But Tami goes with #11 as the Fire-Eater. Devon... comes out of the
gallery. Penn hands her a torch. TASTY.
Penn has a taste before we go to break.
We're back, and Tami's mind is racing... She says

Tami leaves empty handed. The rest of the board...
