Episode 4
August 12
Tonight on the show, two forms of puzzle,
including one that will solve the age-old question of how can you pack
an entire marching band into a small cramped van.
But first, tonight's panel...
- Actor/comedian Tom Green (tomgreen.com), playing for Brittany
Foundation
- San Diego Charger Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman, playing for
Alpha Project
- Actress/model Ali Landry, playing for Angel Network
- "According to Jim's" Larry Joe Campbell, playing for Boys and
Girls Club
Let's front our players $25,000.
Now let's meet our first challengers... a marching band. They are the
LOCKE SAINTS MARCHING BAND. They're the greatest, but their leader
Derrick claims that they can stuff into a band, all 28 players and two
color guards, and play "When the Saints Go Marching In" in under 90
seconds.

Tom's a big spender. As for the band...
90 ticks on the tock... and the bet... IS ON! They're all in at :45...
and they're all playing... But the back door is still open. Thanks to
our intrepid hosts, that's remedied... but with nine seconds left, so
mathematically, they couldn't play for the allotted time, so it's a
FAIL.
And Tom wants to contest the result. So does the crowd. But we do have
video of the fail.

So Shawne goes to the early lead, but
everyone's in the red.
Next up, a sheet... associated with it, 19-year-old college student
CHRIS KREUGER. He's a master at the Rubik's Cube. Chris thinks he can
solve it blindfolded.... and underwater holding his breath.
That's, by the way, under the sheet, a tank of water. The time limit...
Chris' own lungs.

After a little mix by the hosts and the
panel... The bet... IS ON! Chris takes a study of the cube... and heads
underwater with his blindfold on. Fingers are working quickly... but he
fails to put the right colors together, so that is a FAIL. He forgot the
last step.

And Tom goes over to give Chris a piece
of his mind. Meanwhile, Ali takes over the lead by herself. Larry and
Shawne are tied.
Next up, a lot of vacuums, all belonging to 12-year-old KYLE KRICHBAUM.
Vacuum collecting not a popular hobby anywhere, but he says he can
identify five vacuums by the sound alone.

Big bets. Okay, Kyle is in place and the
bet... IS ON! First up, #7... a Hoover Constellation... Kyle gets it.
#16... a Shop-Vac. Kyle gets it. Then comes #12... the Hoover Elite. "I
think it is the Hoover Elite." Got it. #21 is a Shark Mini Upright. "I'd
know that one anywhere, that's the Shark Mini Upright." Perfect so far.
Last one is #43... Simplicity Freedom. "That's one of my very favorite
vacuums, the Simplicity Freedom." PERFECT!

Ali still holds the lead, but only by
yeah much.
Next up, two men vs. a chainsaw. Our challengers, pro lumberjacks LEE
LECAPTAIN and DENNIS BUTLER. Their claim: they can cut through three
13-inch pine logs faster than a chainsaw. The man they'll try to beat
Alex Choi, who can get a slab in 15 seconds.

Shawne and Larry are tied on $40,000.
And now, the moment you've been waiting for... heavy machinery, mortal
danger, and a scantily clad woman. Let's meet TORY LEWIS from South
Dakota. He thinks he's very precise. In fact, he thinks he can remove
the hat, coat, and handbag of the lovely Lauren Martin and hang them all
on a coatrack by using his crane under 2 minutes.
Engines started... and with two minutes on the clock... the bet... IS
ON!
The purse is on at 1:26. The coat... on at :36. Just the hat remains...
He's got 15 to get it on the rack....And he's done it!
Now let's see how the panel did...

and hang up 3 pieces of clothing using an excavator in 2 minutes |
