Chapter 3: The Main Event: Angel vs. Jeff Hardy
When the producers came back from a commercial break, they showed a replay
of Sidney Prescott taking the fall. The camera cut back to Mark.
Round 3 Scores Angel (last name unknown): $4,400 Jeff Hardy: $4,050
"Well, welcome to the last round of the game." Mark said. "In this round, every question is worth $350. Also, if you want to make it to the final round, your strategy and survival depends on it." The audience applauds. "Also, in this round, you can challenge someone to answer the question or you can risk all of your cash by answering it yourself. Since you're in first place, Angel, you get this question. The questions get even harder in this round. In the game Press Your Luck, what symbol does the Whammy wear on his chest? You can challenge, or take it yourself."
"I think I'll take it myself." Angel said.
"OK. For $350, is it a "cape", a "W", a "dollar sign", or "nothing at all"." Mark said.
"It's a "W"." Angel said.
"Is it a 'W'?" Mark said. A guitar riff sounded because it was the 2002 version. Angel now had $4,750.
"We'll add two drop zones. Here's your next question. It's another fill in the blank. "Complete this next line. Why can't I breathe, what? You are now the challenger, Angel." Mark said.
"I think I'll challenge Jeff." Angel said.
"Jeff, is it 'whenever I think about you', 'whenever I'm talking about you', 'Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right', or 'We haven't ----- - yet, but my head's spinning'. The audience laughed. Mark said yet another cussword and the result was that it was bleeped out with a car horn.
"I know, Angel, that it is 'whenever I think about you'." Jeff said.
"Is it 'whenever I think about you'?" Mark said. A guitar riff sounded. The audience applauded. Jeff went to $4,400.
"We'll add three drop zones. Here's the next question. On the soap opera 'Days Of Our Lives', who plays the villain actress Sami Brady?"
"That's the same incorrect answer Lucas got in the first round!" Jeff schemed. "If I pass to Angel, he'll get it wrong and drop, and I'll have the money all to myself!"
"You may challenge now, Jeff." Mark said.
"Oh. Challenge Angel." Jeff said.
"Angel, is it Jewel Staite, Christina Ricci, Alison Sweeney, or Clare Kramer?"
"Yeah, right, Jeff. It's Alison Sweeney." Angel said. The audience laughed.
"Is it Alison Sweeney?" A guitar riff sounded. Angel went up to $5,100.
"We'll add three drop zones now. Here is your next question. "Where's Mark? Hey, look, a question about me. How cute. NOT!" Mark said. The audience laughed harder and applauded. "If I traveled to see Clare Kramer, what state in the city of Atlanta would I be in? You may challenge, Angel." He said, laughing.
"I don't think Jeff knows about Clare Kramer. I'll challenge him."
"Jeff, is it Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, or Louisiana?"
"I'm not sure. I'll take a wild guess and say Alabama." Jeff said.
"Is it Alabama?" A buzzer sounded.
"Oooh, I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer. All of your money now goes to Angel. And now you must play Russian Roulette with three drop zones. Unlock Jeff's zone." A loud thump was heard. "Any last words?"
"I hate it when Angel does that!" he said.
"Let's play Russian Roulette." Mark said. The jingle played. "Pull the handle, Jeff."
The drop zones spun around the game floor. Jeff did not land on his drop zone. A sigh was heard and the audience applauded.
"Well, Jeff, you're still in this game, but you have $0. We'll add four drop zones. Here's your question. "What Buffy: The Vampire Slayer villain needed a key in season 5 to destroy the world? You can challenge or take it yourself." Mark said.
"I'll take it." Jeff said.
"OK. Is it Glory, Spike, Drusilla, or Warren?"
"Not sure, again. I'll take a wild guess and say Glory. HA! Beat that, Angel!"
"Is it Glory?" A guitar riff played. Jeff started at $350.
"We'll add five drop zones now. Here's your next question. What city in California did the rock band Trapt originally originate? You can challenge Angel and hope he gets it wrong, or you can take it yourself."
"I'll take it." Jeff replied.
"Is it Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, or Los Gatos?"
"I don't know much about Trapt," Jeff said. "I know Angel deserved to win, so I'll say San Francisco."
"Is the correct answer San Francisco?" A buzzer sounded. "You showed sympathy for Angel, but you now must play Russian Roulette with five drop zones. Unlock Jeff's zone AGAIN." Mark said. A loud thump was heard. "Any last words, Jeff?"
"Good luck in the next round, Angel!" The audience applauded. "I knew you deserved to win!"
"You played really well, Jeff!" Lita said from the audience. The audience laughed.
"Let's play Russian Roulette." Mark laughed. "Good luck, Jeff." Jeff pulled the handle. The drop zones spun around the game floor until it came to a stop on Jeff. He was half mad and half excitedly laughing.
"Holy smokes, guys-NO!" he said for about 1 second. The audience applauded and some people yelled. Jeff dropped when the trap door opened.
"And by the way, Jeff, the correct answer was Los Gatos!" Mark yelled when the door closed slowly. "Well, that was a little too late, but Angel, you have won $9,850! We'll play the bonus round right after this! Oh, what a game."
