CHALLENGERS |
$5000, two games |
Round 1: ELVIS PRESLEY'S BILLBOARD US TOP 40
HITS. This includes Hot 100 hits according to Billboard's website as of July
2008.
Because Charysse & Mike are the challengers, they
earn the right to bid first. Mike is a self-confessed geek, while Charysse
doesn't want to be paired with a control freak. Mike & Charysse open the bid at
four. Scott & Harriett go with five. Charysse & Mike take it up to seven, and
the bidding ends there, and the list goes to the challengers.
1) That's All Right - ... INCORRECT! The song was
released in 1954, a year before Billboard started compiling their famous charts
(Scott & Harriett lead, 1-0).
Round 2: HOTELS WITH CASINOS ON THE LAS VEGAS
STRIP. We're looking for properties on the strip between 2000 and 3950 Las
Vegas Blvd. South. This is according to the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors
Authority
Scott & Harriett will begin the bidding this
round. Scott & Harriett start with seven. Charysse (who's been to Vegas more
times than she can count) & Mike go to 9. Scott & Harriett say... go for it. So
nine list items from the challengers, otherwise, it's game and match for Scott &
Harriett.

4) MGM Grand - CORRECT
5) New York New York - CORRECT
6) Excalibur - CORRECT
7) Luxor - CORRECT
8) Mandalay Bay - CORRECT
9) Monte Carlo - ... to stay in the game... CORRECT! (Tie game, 1-1).
Time for a shootout list, and the subject is..
Round 3: LOONEY TUNES "LOONEY STARS" CARTOON
CHARACTERS". These are Looney Tunes characters designated as "Looney Stars"
with their own biographies on the Looney Tunes website.
Because they are the challengers, Charysse & Mike
will go first...
Charysse & Mike: Bugs Bunny - CORRECT.
Scott & Harriett: Elmer Fudd - CORRECT.
Charysse & Mike: Daffy Duck - CORRECT.
Scott & Harriett: Yosemite Sam - ... Supporting character. INCORRECT. Charysse &
Mike win!
Scott & Harriett will leave with the $5000 they
made on the previous Money List, $2500 each.
As for Charysse & Mike, they're headed to...
The Money List: PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED
STATES BEFORE 1900. This is according to Encyclopedia Britannica's 2008
Almanac.
1) Ulysses S. Grant - CORRECT, continue...
2) George Washington - CORRECT.
3) John Adams - For $5000.... CORRECT! Charysse & Mike decide to play on.
4) Thomas Jefferson - CORRECT. Keep going...
5) John Quincy Adams - CORRECT.
6) Abraham Lincoln - For $10,000.... CORRECT! Again, we're playing on to
$15,000...
7) Andrew Johnson - CORRECT.
8) Andrew Jackson - CORRECT
9) James K. Polk - For $15,000... CORRECT! Will they play on for $25,000? Yep.
10) Martin Van Buren - CORRECT
11) James Madison - CORRECT
12) Benjamin Harrison - For $25,000.... CORRECT!
Will they play on for the sweep of $50,000? Not
today. If they had, they would've played Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, and
Rutherford B. Hayes.... and they would've been right on all three counts. But
the thing that matters is that they have $25,000 to share between them AND they
get to play again against new challengers.

lucky 21. The challengers counter with 25. The fierce bidding gets even fiercer

2) Los Angeles - CORRECT
