"The Great Escape"- (FIRST SEASON) FINALE
The last featured attraction, at least for this season, is a Southern California skyscraper that's nearly 30 stories tall. They all start on top of it:
Matt & MichaelCarol & Sally (identical twin sisters)
Sarah & Nicholas (he's the boyfriend; they've been together for six years)
DZ: Metal air duct system
(Note: The sound to start the season finale game was the same alarm system heard on the Nintendo 64 version of "Goldeneye".)
S1 (29th floor balcony): Using a pulley, they have to navigate a video camera station & scan each floor until they find one w/ a scrolling four-digit code (3826) on an LED readerboard. Once that's done, they can retrieve a remote control joystick.
FIRST $100K DESTINATION CLUE: ...GHT H...
S2 (24th floor clean rooms): The joystick has to be used to operate an iRobot & have it pick up a white case & drop it into a locked security drawer that can be unlocked w/ the previous four-digit code. Inside the drawer's infrared goggles.
SECOND $100K DESTINATION CLUE: ...OUSE (..GHT HOUSE)
S3 (10th floor red laser vaults): Once they're through all the lasers, they must simultaneously press their thumbs on the biometric scanners to deactivate the lasers & pick up a USB drive.
THIRD $100K DESTINATION CLUE: LB HAR...
COMPLETE $100K DESTINATION: L.B. HARBOR LIGHTHOUSE
The BT quickly trips a laser & gets CAPTURED TWICE as a result, which could help out the RT... BUT THEY'RE CAPTURED AS WELL JUST AS THE BT GETS CAPTURED FOR THE THIRD TIME. Thus, the GT takes first place away from them.
S4 (code wall): Each horizontal line has to be scanned & the letter or number in between the two nines for each line will form an alphanumeric code (B1ST2SK8P) that they need to enter in an IT security room w/ their USB drive inserted. After that, they'll see where a Volvo S60 key's located & they can also collect a climbing clip.
Make that FOUR CAPTURES for the BT. Incidentally, the GT gets CAUGHT for the first time while in the code room.
TZ: Rappel down a rope before falling into a dumpster.
WINNERS- GT (RT was second)

"Big Brother" 8/26
HoH Competition #7 ("Hole Some Strings"): Using the strings, each houseguest tried to raise the bar & get a ball into as high of a number as possible from 1-25. After the post-first round rankings were determined, a tournament was held; each round's winner thereafter was determined by whoever got their ball into the hole w/ an arrow on top of it. The eventual HoH also had to name the sole Have-Not for the week.
R1:
Danielle: 8
Frank: 5
Shane: 17
Jenn: 6
Joe: 10
Britney: 7
Dan: WIPEOUT
Bottom Two (Frank vs. Dan)- FRANK
#5 (Jenn vs. Frank)- FRANK
#4 (Britney vs. Frank)- FRANK
#3 (Danielle vs. Frank)- FRANK
#2 (Joe vs. Frank)- FRANK
#1 (Shane vs. Frank)- FRANK WINS HoH FOR THIRD TIME
Dan was deemed the H-N.
PANDORA'S BOX: W/ the chance to win up to $10K, Frank went for it & chose three cubes, but when he was finished, he was locked inside for an hour.
1. $1.05
2. $7.11 ($8.16)
3. $3,333.33 ($3,341.49)
The ? cube inside that 50-cent crane machine was replaced by a golden PoV ball...which was claimed by Ian & it was raining balls outside)! But he's ineligible to compete in future PoV Competitions until he uses it.
Nomination Order:
1. Jenn
2. Ian
3. Joe
4. Britney
CURRENT NOMINEES- Dan & Danielle
IMPORTANT NOTE & BURNING THOUGHTS: The producers have advised Ian not to use it this week so he can "work" w/ Frank. Guys, this is NOT "The Joe Schmo Show" (that's coming back for Season 3 next year on Spike TV, BTW) or professional wrestling. It's been reported that the production team has come up w/ games &/or twists that favor Frank recently. If Frank should go on to win the $500K at the end of this season (nothing personal to him or his family), either some of the offended houseguests need to take legal action against Fly on the Wall Entertainment/Endemol USA or have any producers involved in this mess fired/pressured to resign.

8/23 Quick News & Notes
-The original version of "The Final Countdown" was previously used as an entrance theme for "The Queen of Wrestling" Sara del Rey (who has just signed a WWE developmental deal) & was also heard late on today's episode of "SportsNation".
-The $15,995 sign above the car during selected Dodge Dart commercials is similar to the cash jackpot sign from U.S. "$ale of the Century".
-"Millionaire" has moved into a new studio this season & the set's smaller & rounder.
-UFC 151 was cancelled after light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones refused to fight Chael Sonnen (who is the organization's highest-paid fighter) as a replacement for Dan Henderson in the main event, who tore his MCL. December 1 is the next date for "The Ultimate Fighter Finale" from The Palms in Las Vegas.
-The next season of "Figure It Out" is expected to start taping next month.
-You might win $500 at tomorrow's "Let's Make a Deal" tapings if you bring along the 16th page of any car owner's manual or a blue crayon.
