Welcome to Super Greed!

Listen to Chuck explain the new Tower of Greed! (RealPlayer required.)

Last time on Greed... (RealPlayer required.)

We welcome back our team who has a decision to make:  Phyllis, Lauren, and David.

Listen to the question & most of the answers... (RealPlayer required; LARGE FILE)

Now here's another interesting wrinkle of Super Greed.  Once a team decides to go for the $2,000,000 question (or beyond), a safety net is placed below them.  They're guaranteed to leave with $200,000 no matter what.   So here's where the money stands as of right now:

Lauren:  Playing for $800,000; $80,000 guaranteed; $10,000 in pocket
David:  Playing for $800,000; $80,000 guaranteed
Phyllis:  Playing for $400,000; $40,000 guaranteed

The $2,000,000 category is:  The '90s
Does Phyllis want to keep the cash, or does s he feel the need for Greed?
Lauren wants to go.  David wants to stop.  Phyllis....is GOING!

And the Terminator is about to make its choice...and it's chosen the captain, Phyllis!  
She doesn't want to challenge, so we're going on.

Listen to the answers being revealed... (RealPlayer required; LARGE FILE)
