Today, we have a tall, dark-haired, somewhat
anal-retentive, prim and proper geek... and we also have Ernie's
buddy Bert, as we continue our weeklong celebration of Sesame Street's
40th anniversary with our good friend and former "Lingo" champ Benjamin
Ziek. He's a hotel night auditor. First up to help after Ben does his Ernie is Madison... They end up going three for three for $13,500, clearing the 5th grade level. Two questions, $3500, and one Pablo later... ( $2500 ) 3rd Grade Science Benjamin has an answer in mind, but he's going to Peek first. Pablo says blue. Benjamin goes with it... and the run continues to $19,500! Annalise is up and so is Benjamin, as he is on fire through the rest of the quiz until the final question for $1000... ( $1000 ) 2nd Grade Math Benjamin locks in $1.86. ... Get the brooms out, Benjamin sweeps the board! Now the question... Will he join the Quarter Million club on a Bonus Question about US History? Benjamin decides... to ask his friends. He says nothing doing. He drops out with $25,000! "If you think the gross national product is rubber vomit, you might not be smarter than a 5th grader." Over on CMT, law student Nathan Hucksdale goes for the big money. He calls up Annalise to help him out first. He gets $2500 with no problem. Will the other 3rd grade question be just as easy? ( $2500 ) 3rd Grade Anatomy Nathan goes with ear... Not it. Annalise said heart... Not it either. It was the nose. After making up ground with $3500 and a new partner in Madison... ( $1000 ) 2nd Grade Animal Science The picture shown is a meerkat. Nathan doesn't know it, so he Copies Madison's answer. Madison said... meerkat for $4500. ( $5000 ) 5th Grade Geometry Nathan guesses six... he's three short. For the save, Madison goes... 9! SAVED for $9500! Unfortunately, he'd lose it all when he couldn't name the Canadian province with Winnipeg as its capital (Manitoba). After a skid, he earns $4500 back. With one peek and one Pablo remaining, here's the final question of his stack: ( $500 ) 1st Grade Astronomy Nathan peeks at Pablo's answer... one. He goes with that... and it's right for $5000! Will he go for ten times that or $50,000 with a Bonus category of World History? ... Nope. He drops out. |

It's time for another Wednesday
edition of LMAD. Alison, Jonathan and Wayne are all here to give a
deal to Rebecca (Partygoer), Kenya (Sleeping Bag), and Janet
(Jockey). Alison gives them all Coach handbags. Rebecca goes black
and white, Kenya goes purple, and Janet gets the dark black one.
Janet is the first person that can exchange her bag for Curtain
#1. She'll gamble, give back the purse, and give back the $90 in
the bag. So Janet's got something good behind the curtain, and
it's a new living room worth $6,084! Will Kenya trade hers for the
Big Box? No she won't, and she passes up on 1,000 pennies in
cement (ZONK!). She gets the purse and $2,600 inside! Now we're
down to Rebecca, who can have curtain #2. She'll take the Curtain.
There's no money in the purse, BUT there's a KEY which belongs to
a TOYOTA COROLLA WORTH $16,575!!! I see a problem for Rebecca, and
it comes in the form of a ton of tomatoes (ZONK!). Ouch. So we have purses for ladies. Now we need men to give up their wallets. Clifton (Mr. T.) and Norman (Popcorn) get $500 for their wallets easily. Wayne tells them that the person with the least amount of money in their wallet gets an additional $1,000. Norman has $23. Clifton has...$3. But now he has $1,500, unless he wants Curtain #1. He'll take the Curtain. Wayne takes back the $1,500 and gives Clifton instead an office from the 1980's. (ZONK!) I pity the fool who made Clifton mad... It's Suzette's (lady in red) birthday today, and Wayne has a gift for her of 2,000 Philippine Pesos. She can have the U.S. equivalent or the big box. She wants the box, so the money goes to Marlene (bride) as a wedding gift. Suzette gets a home theater worth $4,400. Happy Birthday! Joey and Raquel (1960's Groovers) are a very groovy couple. Jonathan records them grooving and tells them that the video camcorder, worth $1,100, is theirs. Wayne tells them that they can keep it, or trade it for the Small Box (that has a clue of 'Sky'). They are going for the box and hoping for a trip. Behind it...we'll see later, but Curtain #2 has a clue of 'Sea'. They flip to Sea and give up sky, which is 100,000 airlines miles (worth $3,047). They do have sea though, unless they want Curtain #3, which says 'Land'. They will stay with 'Sea', and turn down a giant Tricycle (ZONK!). Behind Curtain #2 is a BAYLINER 195 DISCOVERY BOAT worth $19,449!!!! That's a beautiful prize. Cassandra (nun) is playing for a trip to Kauai. She can win the nice $8,597 trip if she can find a bottle of suntan lotion, which is hiding behind at least one of 3 boxes. Cassandra goes with #3. Behind Box #1...Suntan Lotion. Could there be another bottle hiding? Wayne will offer Cassandra $500 to not find out. Cassandra quickly grabs the money, and behind her box...was a Zonk! There WAS a second bottle of Suntan Lotion, but that was under box #2, so good bailout for Cassandra. Now back to our bride Marlene. Wayne is going to give Marlene DOUBLE the value of 2,000 Philippine pesos - or she can have Curtain #2. Now I'm in a Philippine league, so I know it's not much: $86. Instead, Marlene gets a 2009 Harley Davidson worth $8,473! I don't know if you want to tie tin cans to the back of that, though. You may want to tie some love to the Big Deal, which is $25,042. Let's see who has a shot at it: TRADE LIST: Joey/Raquel: $19,449 Marlene: $8,473 Janet: $6,084 Suzette: $4,400 Kenya: $2,600 and a Coach Bag Norman: $500 Cassandra: $500 Clifton: An office bad enough for the A-Team Rebecca: A ton of skunk repellant Is Joey and Raquel going to cruise away on a boat? Yes they are. Will Marlene be driving off the lot with a Harley Davidson? Yes she is. Will Janet be reclining in her living room? NO she won't - she's going for the Big Deal! Janet picks Door #3, so let's see door #2 first. That had a Coast Rican Getaway, which was worth $4,900, and hence not the Big Deal. Neither is...Janet's Door, which had the Cash Vault worth $8,318! Cash is good, but maybe she could have used a SUBARU FORESTER (with mountain bikes) worth $25,042!!! Still a nice day's of work. Let's see if they can give out more tomorrow. |

The Tournament of Ten will continue
today, but first, Barbara Viola (Springfield, PA) resumes her run,
starting with $7,500 and 3 lifelines. [$10,000] (Advertising) "Snakes on a cane," a cryptic 2009 ad campaign featuring a caduceus-like symbol, was a stealthy pitch for what TV show? A: 24 B: Gossip Girl C: CSI: Miami D: House She's not really sure, so Barbara calls her friend and co-worker, Matthew. He is sure that it's D. Barbara trusts him... and it's D! [$12,500] (Mythology) Taken from a Greek myth about a man condemned to roll a boulder uphill forever, a job that is arduous and never-ending is called what? A: Halcyon B: Mercurial C: Sisyphean D: Narcissistic Barbara asks the Expert, Ken Jennings. Ken's 6-year-old son is into Greek myths at the moment, and they read about it each night, so he is 100% sure that it's C. Barbara goes with that... and it is indeed C! [$15,000] (Astronauts) What astronaut honored the 40th anniversary of the moon landing by recording a rap song under the alias "Doc Rendezvous"? A: Buzz Aldrin B: John Glenn C: Alan Shepard D: Neil Armstrong Though she's thinking it could be one of the first two to walk on the moon, Barbara doesn't want to take the risk. So, despite still having the Double Dip available, she walks with $12,500. The answer, by the way, is A. Blake Howard (Nashville, TN) - A "wild and crazy guy" :15 - Mister Softee, Around the House, U.S. Cities, Literacy, Regional Foods :30 - Arts & Crafts, Economics, Medical Terms, Sitcoms, Politics :45 - The Magic Number, Band Names, Veto Power, Famous Paintings, Psychiatry [$1,000] (Around the House) By definition, a window located on the roof of a house is called a what? A: Moonlight B: Skylight C: Starlight D: Sunlight With just 2 seconds to go, Blake asks the audience. 99% have chosen B. (The other 1% picked D.) Blake, with 1 second on the clock, goes with B, which is of course right. [$3,000] (Literacy) Our country's largest children's literacy organization is named "Reading is" what? A: Bountiful B: Fundamental C: Magnificent D: Primary Blake uses the Double Dip. His first answer is B, which is the right answer. He then finally secures $5,000, and soon afterwards, this comes up... [$10,000] (Economics) What appropriately named economic index is created by adding the unemployment rate with the inflation rate? A: Consumer Price Index B: Employment Cost Index C: Producer Price Index D: Misery Index After some thought, Blake goes with B... but it's actually D! That sends him home with $5,000. Alison McPherson (San Antonio, TX) :15 - Helpful Products, Idioms, Entrepreneurs, Baseball, Charles Dickens :30 - Motown Hits, CELEBRITY Q, Greek, Math Problems, States of the Union :45 - Common Names, Le Tour de France, Vice Presidents, The Globe, Big Brains Alison gets to $2,000, but that's as far as she can go today. She'll be back tomorrow. Let's see what happens with the Tournament of Ten's 8th seed, Sam Murray (Philadelphia, PA). He was the last contestant who could attempt to qualify for the ToT, and he did so on the Nov. 6 episode, winning $50,000 in 1:52. He racked up 2:38 of banked time then, and that means he has 3:23 on the golden clock to think about this one... [$1 MILLION] According to the Population Reference Bureau, what is the approximate number of people who have ever lived on earth? A: 50 billion B: 100 billion C: 1 trillion D: 5 trillion Sam said at the start of the show that he was going to go for it regardless of the question. He remembers that the current population of the earth is approximately 6 billion. He takes his time thinking about it and talking to himself quietly about it. Then, Sam says this... "What the hell. B: 100 billion. Final." He had 1:40 left on the golden clock. Either he just gave back $25,000, or he just put himself in the running to gain $950,000. Is he right? Meredith's response: "No, it's not 100 billion. It's actually 106.5 billion, but we rounded it down to 100 billion!" As a result, Sam Murray is now in the running for the million dollar grand prize! His son, Tim, who drove in at the last minute to surprise him, comes down from the audience to join him! Of course, Sam is not guaranteed the million yet, which explains the lack of confetti. There are still 7 players waiting to knock him out, and 7th seeded Robin Schwartz will have her chance tomorrow, when she will see the next million dollar question in the ToT. |
