Last time, Isabella Gjidede and Mark Spagnolo each played it safe, walking away with $100,000. Now Mike Cocco gets to play for the big money. He's playing with his friend Dan.

As a reminder, every question answered correctly within range will increase winnings by the power of 10, from $1000 to $10,000 to $100,000 to $1 million to $10 million. Players can walk away at any time, but if they go for it and miss, they'll lose by the power of 10 and walk out with that much. Help is available, though, in the form of the audience and companions.

We're starting from the ground up, because that's the only way to do it. Let's play "Power of 10!"

Mike starts with 4-44, remembering his days at Penn State. Then he changes it to 9-49. Audience... is all over the map on this one.

Mike locks in at 10-50%. Roll the barrel!

America said...  25%! We're off and running with $1000.

Next up for $10,000...

First guess: 35-65. Audience... again, dimorphic. Dan agrees, going higher.

Mike locks in 38-68%.

America said... 24%. Game over. Mike leaves with $100.

Next to play are DJ Burgduff and April LaValley. DJ (Ames, IA) starts as an oil refinery worker next week. He still has to take OSHA classes. April (Los Angeles) just passed the New York Bar exam. Her dream is to be an entertainment attorney.

ELIMINATION ROUND:

1) What percentage of American women would rather be on the cover of Us Weekly than the cover of Forbes?
DJ: 37%
April: 55%
ACTUAL: 35%. DJ leads, 1-0.

2) What percentage of Americans said they talk to God?
DJ: 73%
April: 60%
ACTUAL: 81%. DJ leads, 2-0.

3) What percentage of Americans have played "spin the bottle"?
DJ: 82%
April: 39%
ACTUAL: 66%. DJ sweeps, 3-0.

DJ is nervous. So is his girlfriend Sarah, who also works at the oil refinery.

We're starting again on the Power of 10!

DJ didn't go to a party school. Neither did Sarah. Both of them studied hard. DJ goes with 49-89 to start. The audience... goes 45-85. DJ decides to lock in that guess of 45-85%.

America said...  75%! We're off and running with $1000.

Next up for $10,000...

First guess: 58-88. Pretty high. Audience goes with... 60-90. Girls go through that phase, everyone's thinking. Brian from "Family Guy" had a quote... but this is a family show, so I won't post it. Sarah thinks girls are mean. .

DJ locks in 61-91%.

America said... 62%. JUST IN THERE! Man, Davies is cruel! DJ's up to $10,000.

Next for $100,000...

DJ, a dude who says he MIGHT have been to one, goes with 55-75 to start. Sarah thinks about bachelor parties and special events. Audience... 60-80. DJ thinks about the guys he knows... and they're all pretty conservative.

DJ drops the hammer on his girlfriend's guess: 53-73%.

America said...  53%! On the nose for $100,000!

But can DJ win $1 million?

Range is small. DJ straddles the middle like with 41-51 first. Audience... goes with DJ. Sarah hears a lot of "Lock it in." Audience wants it to happen... Audience also wants him to take the money. Sarah wants him to take the money.

We had this situation twice last week. But not today. DJ locks in 39-49%... and gambler's remorse sets in.

Remember, we will not get a number. We will only get a graphic if DJ is right.

America said..... 51%!  He was THERE! HE WAS THERE! Unreal... DJ leaves with $10,000.

Next to play are Zoilo Ruiz and Alisha Levine. Zoilo (Harrison, NY) used to drum with "Stomp". Alisha (Great Neck, NY) is a fashion designer.

ELIMINATION ROUND:

1) What percentage of Americans said they "live for the weekend"?
Zoilo: 19%
Alisha: 74%
ACTUAL: 22%. Zoilo leads, 1-0.

2) What percentage of Americans can flare their nostrils?
Zoilo: 56%
Alisha: 45%
ACTUAL: 58%. Zoilo leads, 2-0.

3) What percentage of Americans said they have seen a dead body, excluding funerals?
Zoilo: 13%
Alisha: 9%
ACTUAL: 63%. Zoilo sweeps, 3-0.

Helping Zoilo is his friend Tim, a marine biologist. They went to grad school together.

We're going to make this quick, because we don't have that much time left.

Zoilo starts with 9-49%. Tim thinks that it's kinda low. We go to 25-65. Audience... 10-50. Zoilo goes down a little to 17-57. Then to 12-52%. Tim thinks the nerds rule the world. Word.

That's a lock-in.

America said... 20%! That's $1000! We're playing for $10,000 on the season finale next time.
