Movers & Shakers
September 1
Two warriors prepare to enter the
60-Second Circle in the hopes of winning $1 million.
They are NATALIE STRONG, 27 from
Atlanta, the deputy press secretary for the Georgia State Senate... and an NFL
cheerleader. She's getting married and is hoping that M2WI is going to pay for
it. Helping her out is SCOTT MATTHEWS, 46 from Massachusetts, who wants to move
his family into a bigger house.
They just met two days ago, and now
they're playing together as a team for $1 million.
LEVEL 1 - $1000: CANDELIER. Using
paper plates and a lot of aluminum cans, the contestant must construct an
inverted pyramid of cans, with one on the bottom, followed by two, and so on,
until there is a five-story structure.
And as always... "Failure to
complete this task in 60 seconds may result in... ELIMINATION."
SCOTT will take it on.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:21,
$1000). That's guaranteed money to split. Now...
LEVEL 2 - $2500: FACE THE COOKIE.
The team must move two cookies from their foreheads to their mouth using only
their facial muscles.
First Attempt... COMPLETE (:55, $2500).
LEVEL 3 - $5000: YANK ME. Using
index cards and plastic cups, the contestants must build a tower of four cups...
then yank the cards to create an instant stack.
Playing the stack today... SCOTT.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:42,
$5000)
LEVEL 4 - $10,000: MAGIC CARPET RIDE.
The team must maneuver themselves via inchworming on a standard bath mat
around a semi-circle path along the edge of the 60-Second Circle and over the finish line.
First Attempt... COMPLETE (:41,
$10,000).
LEVEL 5 - $50,000: BOUNCER. Both
contestants must bounce ping pong balls into 24 pint glasses.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:37,
$50,000)
LEVEL 6 - $75,000: DEFYING GRAVITY.
Use coordination, concentration, and ninja-like reflexes in order to keep three
party balloons in the air.
And once again, Scott's in it to win it...
First attempt... COMPLETE (:00,
$75,000)
LEVEL 7 - $125,000: HIGH ROLLER.
Using a cup, six dice, and the centrifugal force of one hand, the contestant
must swirl dice into stacks of three, four, and five.
Natalie gets this one.
First attempt... FAIL (TIME OUT, TWO
LIVES remaining)
Second attempt with Scott playing...
FAIL (TIME OUT, ONE LIFE remaining)
Final attempt ... FAIL (TIME OUT,
GAME OVER). But the two will split $50,000.
