He has an IQ of 155. He is one of the
greatest trivia champions in the world. He stands 6 foot 7, 370 pounds,
mostly brain. He's a mathematician and teacher with degrees from Oxford
and Exeter. He has single-handedly denied many unfortunate Britons
hundreds of thousands of dollars. His name is Mark Labbett. They call
him "The Beast", and for good reason. And tonight, he has his eyes set
on Hollywood.
GSN's landmark quiz show is back for
another round, and tonight, three celebrities are pitting their star
power against the Beast's brain power. Will they be able to outsmart
Britain's big man?
Seamus Dever
"Castle"
playing for Beagle Freedom Project (rescues beagles
from experimentation
research labs) |
Boris Kodjoe
"Real Husbands of Hollywood"
playing for Sophie's Voice (spina bifida & neural
tube defect research) |
Dean Cain
"Hit the Floor"

programs that honors American
veterans) |
The game is played in three rounds,
and each runner will play 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.
Dean, known by many as TV's
Superman during the 1990s, is a Princeton-educated former football
star.
A special rule change is instituted for this edition of "The
Chase". Each Cash Builder round is immediately spotted $5000,
which is the player's to keep no matter what.
CASH BUILDER: 7 of 10 ($35,000 + $5000 bonus)
That money is placed five spaces from the
Bank. If you want to take a step toward home and safety, the Chaser will
offer you... $20,000. If you dare to take a step toward the Beast, the
offer jumps to... double money, $80,000.
DEAN PLAYS FOR: $40,000... THE CHASE... IS ON!

THE FINAL CHASE
The team and the Beast will have 2
minutes to answer a series of rapid-fire questions. The team will have a
head-start of however many players make it to the Final Chase. In this
case, since both Dean and Seamus are playing, the head-start is two. For
each question the team answers correctly, they will move one step ahead
of the Chaser. If they can beat the Beast in this final round, each of
their charities will receive $50,000!
Dean & Seamus pick question set B, and the Final Chase is on!
TOTAL: 18
That's 18 steps ahead of the Chaser. Respectable, but is it enough?
Remember, for every wrong answer the Beast gives, the team will have a
chance to push him back a spot. IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL CHASE!
