Welcome to Super Greed!

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


We welcome back our team who has a decision to make:  Monique, Jared, Elizabeth, Deborah, and their captain Eddie.

The $200,000 category is:  Media Giants
Does Eddie want to keep the cash, or does he feel the need for Greed?
He's got the need!  They're moving on!

And the Terminator is about to make its choice...and it's chosen Eddie!!!  
He's going to take the $10,000 and challenge Deborah!  The winner becomes captain.

Terminator Question:

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:

Monique:  Playing for $1,200,000; $120,000 guaranteed; $10,000 in pocket
Elizabeth:  Playing for $400,000; $40,000 guaranteed
Jared:  Playing for $400,000; $40,000 guaranteed

Does Monique want to keep the cash, or does she feel the need for Greed?
They're stopping!
