Heather/Cory/Jonathan So far, the Beast has made afterthoughts of one team of contestants, but it's a new game, and it's a new team of players matching wits. If they survive, it could mean tens of thousands of dollars. Tonight's trio of runners are...
The game is played in three rounds, and each runner will play all the first two. Round 1 is the Cash Builder Round. Brooke will ask each Runner rapid fire questions for one minute worth $5000 each. The money they win in this round is put on an eight-space game board for Round 2, the Chase Round. The Runner can stay where they are, but if they step one space away from the Chaser, they will play for a lesser amount, but will have less questions to answer. If they take one step TOWARDS the Chaser, they will play for bigger money, but will have to answer more questions correctly. Compounding that, if the Chaser answers a question correctly, HE will move one step down on the board. If a Runner gets caught before he or she banks the money, they - AND THE MONEY - are out of the game. But if they bank the cash, they will move on to the Final Chase, where the team will compete against the Beast one more time for an equal share of the bank. First up, we have JONATHAN, a chess master who teaches the game in elementary school. If he wins, he's going to take his students to the nationals. CASH BUILDER: 8 out of 12 for $40,000.
If Jonathan wants to move one step towards the bank and take the easy way to the cash, Mark will offer... $20,000. If he wants to play hardball and step up to the Beast, he plays for... $90,000. Jonathan is a gamer. HE'S GOING FOR IT! So for $90,000... THE CHASE... IS ON!
Jonathan: Smell
Jonathan: Wyoming
Jonathan: The US dollar
Jonathan: An appetizer
Jonathan: Preakness
Jonathan: Elton John Jonathan banks the cash and we're on our way. Next up, a friend of game shows, a friend of this site, and a friend of ours, it's CORY, a game show nerd who wants to put a ring on the lovely and talented Liz. CASH BUILDER: 7 out of 12 for $35,000. That's enough for a decent-sized diamond. If he wants to move closer to the bank, he'll play for a ribbing from Gordon Pepper and $15,000. If he wants to move to the Kardashian-sized diamond, he'll have to step up to the Beast and play for $70,000. Cory... will take the sure thing. For $35,000... The Chase... is on!
(C-Note: That should read "positive electrical charge", but I'm not paid to write the questions, so...) Cory: Proton
Cory: Beauty School Dropout Barbie
Cory: Escalator
Cory: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Cory: Toronto
Cory: Teaching evolution
Cory: Heaven-o Now it's all on HEATHER, an MBA grad who LOVES tests and quizzes. She should feel right at home, then. If she wins, she's going on a tour of the world. Maybe she'll run into the other three Chasers in the UK. CASH BUILDER: 11 out of 13 for $55,000. "The better they are, the better I like it." But still, she can play the safe route for $25,000, stay where she is, or... "Let's make this interesting. $110,000 says you can't beat me." She may be better, but she's not cocky. Heather stays put, and the Chase is on....
Heather: A didgeridoo
Heather: Terra cotta
Heather: Denzel Washington
Heather: Nylon
Heather: Lake Okeechobee
Heather: Meteorite scrapings
Heather: The waterbed
Heather: Gospel All three of our Runners are through to the Final Chase with $180,000 in the kitty. Which means that if they do this right, each one could win $60,000. But like they say, it's only half over, now the real business begins. THE FINAL CHASE The Runners will get rapid-fire questions for 2 minutes. For each correct response they buzz in with, they will move one step ahead of the Beast. There are three people playing this Final Chase, so they will begin with an automatic three step head-start. For $180,000, the Final Chase... IS ON! Heather: 1 for 1 Time runs out before Jonathan gets on the buzzer, but they rack up an amazing 18-step advantage on the Chaser! But is it good enough? Mark will now have 2 minutes to answer as many questions as HE can. Every correct answer puts him one step closer to the Runners. If he answers a question INCORRECTLY, the clock stops and the question is thrown to the Runners. If they answer the question correctly, they will push the Beast back ONE step. If Mark catches the Runners before two minutes is out, then the Final Chase is over, and the Runners leave with nothing. If Mark fails to catch the Runners in time, then the Runners will get an equal share of $180,000, $60,000 a piece! This would be a record payout by a GSN original series. It's time for the FINAL CHASE! Beast: STOPPED at 2 (1:45) - Anne Elliott is the heroine of what Jane Austen novel? They go with "Emma"... but it was "Persuasion". No movement.
