Team
Five-Year Itch
July 30
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. Diana (25; Winnetka, CA) & Andy (30; Oak Harbor, WA) have one
thing in mind... the perfect wedding. Will they walk down the aisle in
under a minute OR is happily ever after only worth three lives?
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: MOVIN' ON UP:
The contestant is given a stack of 39
blue cups and one red one. Using alternating hands, he or she must move
the red cup from the bottom to the top and back to the base by taking
blue cups from the top and moving them to the bottom.
First attempt (Andy)... FAIL (TIME OUT; TWO lives remaining)
Second attempt (Diana)... COMPLETE! (:07; $1000)
LEVEL 2: BACK FLIP:
One contestant must flip four pencils from the back of their hand and
catch them in mid-air. This must be repeated six times, with two pencils
added for each progression until there is a stack of 14.
First attempt (Andy)... COMPLETE!
(:16, $2000)
LEVEL 3: FIELD GOAL:
The contestants must construct a field goal upright by balancing six
plastic cups on a yardstick that is being balanced by another plastic
cup. This must be held for a three count.
Attempt 1... FAIL (the cups were not
stacked properly at :23; ONE life remaining)
FINAL Attempt... COMPLETE! (:28,
$3000)
LEVEL 4: PLAY IT BY EAR:
Eight closed soda cans contain pennies, starting with five and going up
in five penny increments to 40 pennies. Only being able to shake the
cans, the contestants must line up the cans in decreasing order (40 on
the left, five on the right).
ONLY Attempt (Diana)... COMPLETE! ($5000)
MILESTONE LEVEL 5: FLIP YOUR LID:
The team must flip an inverted plastic
cup onto a soda bottle one foot away.

ONCE in 20 attempts.
