Another seven-question challenge awaits the next team of players, and in this case they're both women. Callie Stydehar and Laura Osmond have been best friends for 29 years. They both grew up two houses down from one another and they've come to face the drops tonight.

QUESTION 1 CATEGORIES: INFOMERCIALS/COOKIES

Callie and Laura start their game with a question about Cookies.

Q1: What is the best-selling brand of cookie in the United States?
A: Chips Ahoy!
B: Oreo
C: Nilla Wafers
D: Teddy Grahams

A is wrong for a 480K loss, but B is correct saving the remaining 520K.

QUESTION 2 CATEGORIES: BRANDS/LET'S DANCE

Callie and Laura want to dance, so they get a question on Let's Dance.

Q2: Which dance craze is the most recent?
A: The Roger Rabbit
B: The Twist
C: The Hustle
D: The Macarena

They put all of the money on D, which is correct.

QUESTION 3 CATEGORIES: PIE/SUNDAY COMICS

They go with Pie, hoping they see a correct answer in their eyes.

Q3: According to Crisco, what is the most popular pie holiday?
A: Fourth of July
B: Mother's Day
C: Thanksgiving
D: Christmas

All of the money gets placed on C. C is correct.

QUESTION 4 CATEGORIES: INTERNET/NFL

They're going Internet.

Q4: What was the #1 search term on Google in 2009?
A: Brett Favre
B: Michael Jackson
C: Kate Gosselin

420K gets placed on B and 100K is placed on C before the quick change gets enacted. C is wrong, they lose 60 large. However, B is correct and they save $460,000.

QUESTION 5 CATEGORIES: MONEY/ACTION MOVIES

Callie and Laura have already been witnesses to the action so far, so they go with Action Movies.

Q5: Who played Batman in the highest grossing Batman movie?
A: George Clooney
B: Christian Bale
C: Michael Keaton

C is wrong and 220K is gone, but B is correct to keep the remaining 240K in play.

QUESTION 6 CATEGORIES: CLASSIC ROCK SONGS/LANGUAGES

Up next for Callie and Laura...Classic Rock Songs.

Q6: In terms of minutes, which of these is longest on its original album release?
A: Don McLean's "American Pie"
B: The Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man"
C: Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"

B is wrong at the cost of 80,000. And as for C...it's also wrong. It's game over for Callie and Laura.

Up next to take on the million dollar challenge are best friends Amber Chapman and Amber Russell. For the purposes of this recap, we'll call them the two Ambers.

QUESTION 1 CATEGORIES: FAMOUS SONGS/ABC'S

Do the two Ambers really know their ABC'S? We shall see.

Q1: Which of these words has each of its individual letters in alphabetical order?
A: define
B: closer
C: before
D: almost

They put all of the million on D. And they're correct!

QUESTION 2 CATEGORIES: HALLOWEEN/CANDY

The two Ambers want Candy, and they'll get a question about it.

Q2: According to Mars, Inc., how many different colors are there in a standard bag of plain milk chocolate M&M's?
A: 4
B: 6
C: 8
D: 9

All of the money gets placed on B, and they are right again!

QUESTION 3 CATEGORIES: CELEB DIVORCES/DISCO

Up next for the two Ambers...Celeb Divorces.

Q3: Which of these celebrities has been divorced the most number of times?
A: Britney Spears
B: Drew Barrymore
C: Christie Brinkley
D: Heather Locklear

D is wrong, but C is correct. The two Ambers lost 140K, but save 860K.

QUESTION 4 CATEGORIES: NAMES/DAYTIME TV

Their next question will be about Names.

Q4: What was the most popular name for baby boys born in 2009?
A: Michael
B: Jacob
C: Ethan

Both A and C are incorrect and the two Ambers lose it all. The correct answer was B.

Two teams played tonight, but none of them are going home with even a single penny. Will the next team fare any better than them? That question will be answered next time.
