Team GRITS/Spectrum
Surfers
July 23
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?
Jessica (28) & Traci (34) are sisters
from the South, looking to bring a taste of New Orleans to the 60 Second
Circle. They have the spice, but do they have the skills to win enough
money to take their family to France?
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."
