Last Man Standing
May 9
We've had one person try and go for the
million... Tonight, one person will, but they'll have to get past nine
others, as "Minute to Win It" plays a friendly game of LAST MAN
STANDING!
Let's meet the players!
- Garry, coach
- Katherine, doctor
- Michelle, bikini model
- Alec "Ace", therapist
- Tony, devoted husband
- Camille, entrepreneur
- Dan, math teacher
- Rick, cowboy
- Kerry, nurse
- Dianna, woman who looks a lot like Guy Fieri
They're going to play all 10 levels, with
the last person to complete a level eliminated. One of them will be
guaranteed $100,000, but more on that later. Right now...
LEVEL 1: HANKY PANKY. Using
only one hand, a contestant must empty an entire box of 160 tissues.
And tonight, "Completing this task
last will result in ELIMINATION."
ELIMINATED... TONY.
LEVEL 2: BOBBLEHEAD. Using a
pedometer strapped to his head, a contestant must count out as many clicks
as possible within 60 seconds. Person with the lowest clicks gets eliminated.
ELIMINATED... KERRY with 115.
LEVEL 3: STICKY SITUATION.
Contestants must bounce ping-pong balls in an attempt to stick one each on a
slice of bread covered with peanut butter.
ELIMINATED... MICHELLE.
LEVEL 4: RAPID FIRE. Using only his
finger, a contestant must use rubber bands to knock a pyramid of six soda cans
off of a table surface.
ELIMINATED... KATHERINE.
Down to six...
LEVEL 5: JOHNNY APPLESTACK. The
contestant must stack four red delicious apples in a free standing apple stack.
If the tower falls, it can be restacked.
ELIMINATED... GARRY.
Level 6 in a bit, but first, Ace
decides to put a ring on it...
LEVEL 6: TIPSY. Balance three soda
cans on its beveled edge for a three-count. It cannot be done when the can is
full, so you must drink the right amount to allow balance.
ELIMINATED... in a photo finish,
CAMILLE.
Down to Rick Bradley, Dan O'Grady,
Dianna Berg, and Alec "Ace" Sterning.
LEVEL 7: WORM DIVING. Using a single
gummy worm as bait, a contestant must reel in a single pretzel and consume the
pretzel without using their hands.
ELIMINATED... DIANNA.
LEVEL 8: PAPER DRAGON. Using only
your arms and hands, a contestant must unwind two rolls of party streamers. If
the delicate paper tears, you may pick it up and start again.
ELIMINATED... DAN. Now it's Rick vs.
Ace for $100,000...
LEVEL 9 - $100,000: PING TAC TOE.
Using white and yellow ping-pong balls as Xs and Os and nine water-filled
glasses as a grid, you must get three in a row either across, up and down or
diagonally. This will be a head-to-head challenge, with the first person getting
tic-tac-toe winning $100,000 and the right to play for $1 million.
Ace from Milwaukee and Rick from
Oakdale, CA... and nine water-filled glasses and ping pong balls...
ELIMINATED... RICK. Ace is playing
for $1 million!
Ace... this is your level 10
blueprint.
LEVEL 10 - $1,000,000: SUPERCOIN. One quarter could win you $1 million. The contestant must bounce a quarter
15 feet into a water jug 5 gallons in volume with an opening 1.75 inches in length.
"Completing this task in 60 seconds will make you a MILLIONAIRE."
Ace has one and only one
chance at it...
Only attempt... FAIL. But at
least Ace has $100,000 and a woman to share it with.
More games and more money
next time.
