Twin Cities
April 6
Michael & Richelle Moh have so far won
$5000 playing with household items. But can the "Ninja Warrior" vet and
his newlywed wife take it all the way to total victory?
LEVEL 4: BACKFLIP:
One contestant must flip four pencils from the back of their hand and catch them
in mid-air. This must be repeated six times, with two pencils added for each
progression until there is a stack of 14.
As always, "failure to complete this task in 60 seconds may result in
ELIMINATION."
First attempt (Richelle): FAIL (TIME OUT, two lives remaining)
Second attempt (Mike): FAIL (TIME OUT, one life
remaining)
Final attempt (Mike): FAIL (GAME OVER). The
couple leaves with $1000.
Next to play in the 60-Second Circle are ERENE
KLEONI (West Hills, CA), who's playing for her big fat Greek wedding, and BRIAN
KLEPACKI (Mesa, AZ), who's playing for his daughter, who is currently battling a
tumor on her brainstem.
LEVEL 1: THIS
BLOWS: The contestant must inflate a
balloon, then use the escaping air to knock down 15 plastic cups.
First attempt (Brian): COMPLETE! (:18, $1000)
LEVEL 2: SPIN
DOCTOR: One of the contestants must spin
a dollar coin across a center line of a table. The other must stop it on its
edge with one finger for a three-count.
First attempt: COMPLETE! (:39, $2500).
LEVEL 3: FIELD GOAL:
As a team, the contestants must construct a field goal upright by balancing six
plastic cups on a yardstick that is being balanced by another plastic cup. This
must be held for a three count.
First attempt... COMPLETE (:15, $5000)
LEVEL 4: GOT YOUR BACK:
As a team, the players back-to-back in a plastic hoop while firing ping-pong
balls at four ping-pong paddles, hoping to knock them down.
First attempt... COMPLETE! (:48, $10,000)
LEVEL 5: EGG TOWER:
Using four paper towel cores and four raw eggs, the contestant must construct a
sturdy tower that must hold for a three-count.
First attempt (Brian)... COMPLETE! (:31, $50,000)
LEVEL 6: STICKER PICKER UPPER:
Using inverted platters, the contestants must roll an egg toward three stickers,
picking them up. If they crack under the pressure, they will lose a life.
First attempt... FAIL (EGG OUT, TWO lives remaining)
Second attempt... FAIL (EGG OUT, ONE life
remaining)
Final attempt... FAIL (EGG OUT, GAME OVER). But
the two will split $50,000. Nothing wrong with that.
Next time, someone else will try to enter the 60
Second Circle, and leave it a millionaire.
