Million Dollar
Bromance
May 11
Tonight, a couple of totally together
dudes will team up to take the 60-Second Circle for $1 million... IF
they can survive 10 minutes of challenges, objects and... well, whatever
Guy has up his sleeve.
Our players are GARRETT LEMONS (San
Diego), a marine biologist who tracks turtles. Teaming up with him is
DARREN CONWAY (Concord, NC), an unemployed fence installer who is
looking to support his family.
LEVEL 1: THIS BLOWS:
A contestant must inflate a balloon, then use the escaping air to knock down 15
plastic cups. This must be repeated until all of the cups are knocked out.
As always... "Failure to complete this
task in 60 seconds may result in ELIMINATION."
First attempt (Garrett)... COMPLETE (:11,
$1000)
LEVEL 2: MARBLES GRANDE:
The contestants must toss white balls from five feet into a circle to knock four
red ones out.
First attempt: COMPLETE! (:37, $5000)
LEVEL 3: KICK OFF:
One player must kick two soda cans into a bucket at the center of the 60-Second
Circle.
First attempt (Darren)... COMPLETE! (:49, $5000)
LEVEL 4: THE
NUTSTACKER: A nut is useless without a
bolt. A chopstick is useless without another. Using only a chopstick, the
contestants must stack five nuts each vertically on a table to create a 10-story
stack.
First attempt... FAIL (KNOCK OUT AT 6, TWO LIVES
remaining)
Second attempt... FAIL (KNOCK OUT AT 9, ONE LIFE
remaining)
FINAL attempt... FAIL (KNOCK OUT AT 9, GAME
OVER). But the team leaves with $1000 to split.
Next up in the circle... LAUREN SOLOMON
(Detroit), a footballer who turned an encounter with a coach on this show (one
BLAKE DUPLANT from season one) into... get this... a relationship. She's teaming
with JAMILLA HARRIS (Bellflower, CA), a court clerk who would love to be a
judge. And you'll be happy to know that she's a game show fan from WAY back in
the day.
LEVEL 1: FLOATACIOUS:
One player will make a tower of five empty soda cans on a floating plastic plate
in a bowl of water. It must stay afloat for a three-count.
First attempt (Jamilla)... FAIL (TIME OUT, TWO
LIVES remaining)
Second attempt (Lauren)... COMPLETE (:31, $1000)
LEVEL 2: PUDDLE JUMPER:
Three cups are separated by three, six, and nine inches. The contestant must
blow three ping pong balls from one water-filled cup to another.
First attempt (Jamilla)... COMPLETE (:11, $2500)
LEVEL 3: RE-BOUNCE:
The contestant must bounce a ping-pong ball from a plate anchored at 17 degrees
such that it will bounce at another plate anchored at 17 degrees and into a
fishbowl in the middle of both plates.
First attempt (Lauren)... COMPLETE (:19, $5000)
LEVEL 4: FLIP OFF:
Using cat-like reflexes, the contestant must flip a bottle cap on a coaster
positioned on the edge of a table such that the bottle cap will end up in a
waiting glass and the coaster will be on the lip of said glass
First attempt (Lauren)... FAIL (TIME OUT, ONE
LIFE remaining)
FINAL attempt (Lauren)... FAIL (TIME OUT, GAME
OVER). But they will split $1000. And we'll split until SUNDAY.
