06:49and one wrong answer Liz here we go what language is spoken by most of the people in the world
06:56Chinese
06:58Lee Merriweather what language is spoken by most of the people in the world English all right Glenda
07:07Wilson for six pardon me yes for six to four six hundred dollars and the game is it Chinese or
07:15what did you
07:15say Linda Lee English is it English or is it Chinese Glenda there are more people in China so Chinese
07:21you have won the game in
07:29and of course Ralph since you did not have a chance in that game to go to the board you're
07:36still alive so you're going to play another game and Glenda has won her very first game six hundred bucks
07:40and Johnny what else did she win well Tom it's music music music with your records and stereo equipment the

08:06Glenda Wilson welcome to the champion circle and since the bank was not broken we're going to add five hundred
08:14dollars to our bank and the next game will be worth five thousand five hundred dollars okay and on we
08:20go
08:21we'll do that in just a moment
08:29well Glenda Wilson won our very first game and incidentally she did it on the first three boxes rather phenomenal
08:34incidentally one of the questions that we did not give the answer to was according to scholars when was Jesus
08:39born the answer four to six years BC we now have in our bank five thousand five hundred dollars for
08:45this game and since Glenda won the last one that makes you Ralph the challenger
08:49so start us off would you pick a box yes box number 17 number 17 could we see box number
08:5517 and you found a money bag now
08:59you have a decision to make any player who gets three money bags breaks the bank which is worth five
09:04thousand five hundred dollars now the rule of the game is you can keep this money bag without having to
09:08answer a question but you lose your turn or you can refuse to take the money bag and then you
09:12keep on playing so what do you want to do keep the money bag and force it your turn or
09:15refuse it
09:15and keep playing Ralph I'll keep the bank he's going to keep it you now have one money bag get
09:20two more and you break the bank and Glenda Wilson back to you
09:24okay I want to start with number five this time
09:26could we see box number five what did she find there she found a $100 box connected to Pat McCormick
09:33and Lee Merriweather
09:35Patrick my boy Raquel Welch stated they are the biggest things in my life
09:42what was she referring to
09:44may I ask how many of them there are
09:49it doesn't say
09:50she was referring
09:53I remember this
09:55to her two Golden Globe Awards
09:58I was there
09:59all right
10:00Lee Merriweather
10:03no I really I really think that she
10:06she considers her two children
10:08uh-huh Glenda
10:10her two her two Golden Globe Awards
10:12or her two children
10:14don't know a lot about Raquel Welch
10:16but I hope it's her children
10:17is that your answer her children you have a $100 box right there
10:21there are two children
10:23pick another box now Glenda
10:25they put lips on that that means they belong to you
10:27the mustache means they belong to Ralph when he gets them
10:29all right go ahead Glenda
10:30okay I'm looking for another hundred and I hope it's behind number four
10:34well it could very well be because they touch on at least one side
10:36could we see box number four
10:38and there's a flank back to Ralph
10:40I'm gonna go with box number three please
10:42box number three could we see it
10:44box number three is a $200 box connected to Jan Murray and Lee Merriweather
10:52Jan you're looking at a sex lineatus
10:55sex lineatus
10:57and it's pardon me it's a it's not just that
11:00it's a sex lineatus grouper
11:01you're also looking at a humma humma
11:04and a leery guramas
11:06and nuka nuka pau from Hawaii
11:10Jan what are you looking at
11:12the original Supremes
11:15I know because I went with humma humma for about two weeks
11:18and uh
11:20you know I hope
11:21well of course those are tropical fish
11:23so I would say you'd be looking into a fish tank
11:25I see Lee Merriweather
11:27a sex lineatus grouper
11:31a humma humma
11:31a leery guramas
11:33and a nuka nuka pau
11:34what are you looking at
11:36I somehow have the feeling that those are volcanoes
11:41volcanoes
11:41the names of volcanoes
11:42Ralph are you looking at a fish tank or volcanoes
11:44I'm gonna say volcanoes
11:46wrong you're looking at a fish tank
