Kevin Vs. The Clock
May 12
Alec "Ace" Sterning
proved he was just that, but he couldn't beat Supercoin
to pick up $1 million, instead opting for $100,000.
Now back in the mid
2000s, there was a band called The Jonas Brothers. They
were three brothers... named Jonas. One of them is a big
fan of this show and now that one, Kevin, is going to
enter the Sixty Second Circle to play for his charity,
Change for the Children.
Now the lowdown on the
celebrity showdown. Because this is a charity game,
whatever money Kevin wins is guaranteed. Other than
that, the rules stay the same, meaning that he's got
three lives and, as always... "failure to complete this
task in 60 seconds may result in ELIMINATION."
LEVEL 1 - $1000: NERVOUS NELLY. A
contestant's appendages are strapped to four pedometers. They must use whatever
means possible to accumulate a total of 500 clicks.
First attempt: COMPLETE in three
(552, $1000). The Power Pad method works.
LEVEL 2 - $2500: NOSE DIVE. Using
petroleum jelly as an adhesive, the contestant must transfer six cotton balls
from one end of the stage to the other... using only their nose.
First attempt: COMPLETE (:07, $2500)
LEVEL 3 - $5000:
JUNK IN THE TRUNK. Eight ping-pong balls are loaded inside an
empty tissue box attached to the small of the contestant's back.
Using whatever movements are necessary, the contestant must
empty the tissue box without touching it (High score: :49)
First attempt...
COMPLETE (:23, $5000).
LEVEL 4 - $10,000: EGG ROLL. Using a
medium pizza box as a fan, the contestant must propel two eggs down stage to a
waiting area. (High score: :03)
First attempt...
COMPLETE (:08, $10,000)
LEVEL 5 - $50,000: NUTSTACKER.
A nut is useless without a bolt. A chopstick is useless without
another. Using only a chopstick, a contestant must stack eight
nuts vertically on a table.
First attempt...
FAIL (:17, two lives remaining)
Second attempt...
COMPLETE: (:01, $50,000)
LEVEL 6 - $75,000: KA-BROOM. A marshmallow
sits on a paper plate. Using the spring action from a broom, a
contestant must launch the marshmallow into the air and catch it in a
cup. This must be repeated FOUR times.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:14, $75,000).
LEVEL 7 - $125,000: MATCHMAKER. Eighteen
cups are holding one M&M each, six each of greens, reds, and yellows.
One at a time, the contestant must group them by color onto three
tables.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:05, $125,000)
LEVEL 8 - $250,000: KEEP THE CHANGE. A
stack of five quarters is on the lip of an empty glass, with a dollar
bill on each. A contestant must snatch the dollar bill from under the
stack whist keeping the stack on the lip of the glass. This must be done
TWICE.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:55, $250,000)
LEVEL 7 - $125,000: DON'T BLOW THE
JOKER. A contestant must blow all but one of a standard deck of 52 playing cards
off of the top of a bottle, leaving only the joker. He will be given five
chances to complete the task.
First attempt... FAIL. (:10, one life remaining).
Final attempt... FAIL... (:08, GAME
OVER).
After screaming at the screen on the
first episode about how easy that was, Kevin gets tripped up himself. He
leaves with $250,000!
