Dynamic Duo
July 16
Tonight... one team will face 10 games,
each 60 seconds in length. Playing with household items could win you
$250,000. But first, you have to beat the clock. And EVERY. SECOND.
COUNTS. Tonight's team has the dream, but do they have the drive to go
all the way?
Trina (37; Lancaster, CA) & Trisha (32;
Lancaster, CA) are sisters and best friends who are competing for a
charity that hits home. Trina's second son Cameron has Tourette's, and
part of whatever they win tonight would go to the National Tourette's
Syndrome Foundation. They call themselves The Dynamic Duo because, and
this is them talking, "They're the double 'Ts' with the double 'D's."
As a reminder of what's at stake...
LEVEL 1: $1000
LEVEL 2: $2000
LEVEL 3: $3000
LEVEL 4: $5000
LEVEL 5: $10,000
LEVEL 6: $15,000
LEVEL 7: $25,000
LEVEL 8: $50,000
LEVEL 9: $100,000
LEVEL 10: $250,000
Once you pass the $1000, $10,000 and the $25,000
levels, you are guaranteed that much money. Otherwise, it's the same
game. Ten challenges, each to be accomplished in under a minute.
Complete the task, and you move to the next level. You will have three
lives to use during the game. At the end of each level, you can take the
cash and dash, or you can stay and play, and that's important, because
if you run out of lives, your game is over and you leave with the last
safeguard.
And of course, as the Computer will tell
you, "Failure to complete this task in 60 seconds may result in
ELIMINATION."
MILESTONE LEVEL 1: FLOTACIOUS:
One player from each team will make a
tower of five empty soda cans on a floating plastic plate in a bowl of

On a pizza platter are 76 balls, three yellow, the rest red. The
