Greed: College Rivalry

[@SigmaRho2922]

This was one of the few episodes after Super Greed to have a qualification round. The round was removed beginning with the first episode of Super Greed and this continued for the rest of the show’s run except for special episodes.

[@artvandelay7687]

Not often we saw a losing team meet in the middle, usually they just walked off the stage unhappy.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

If you're talking about that first team that lost on the $75,000 question. I hate when a team loses at that level or lower because of teammates not getting to play.

[@artvandelay7687]

That's Greed, the majority of losing contestants lost because of someone else's decision. If we're talking about feeling bad for contestants who didn't answer a question, then the three contestants I feel bad for are the three who did not get to answer a question on teams that had no qualifying question (guy in $100K seat on team that lost on $75K question about Kodak colors and the two people in the $75K and $100K seats on the team that lost on the $50K question about Eugene Cernan). In this college Greed episode they all had the QQ, so think of that as the first question of the game, and their opportunity to play. Note: I also feel bad for Dan Avila because I don't think it was made clear to him that there wouldn't be any bailout for 3 correct answers at his $2.2M question.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

@@artvandelay7687 If there's anyone on Dan Avila's team I personally feel bad for, it's Jackie Brakeman (the blonde lady in the $50,000 seat). Why? She was taken out of the game by Curtis Warren before the $1 million question. I really liked her. When Curtis challenged her to that terminator match, she was visibly upset, whining "Why me?" and in the brief split second you barely see her face, when she's hanging her head down on her way off the set, it seems to me like she couldn't get off the stage fast enough so she can go cry her eyes out backstage. Too bad she was a little slow in ringing in. But hey that's Fox for ya. Also, since she IS a historian, I like to think that if only she was faster than Curtis on that buzzer on that Teddy Roosevelt question, she would've won. If there's a reason why I dislike Curtis even more for challenging Jackie it's because (this was talked about on the Google Groups forums and confirmed by a contestant on the show named Tom Galloway, from the 11/18/1999 episode) she had fainted after they'd won that $500,000 question about cheese, probably from a panic attack. But to be rational, I guess i could see how that would make her prey for a Terminator match. Worse yet, later that following February in that Dan vs. Jackie Million Dollar Moment at the end of the losers episode, she ended up reliving that nightmare by losing ANOTHER terminator match before ANOTHER Million Dollar Question and ended up going back home with nothing but the clothes on her back... AGAIN! Well, both teams of losers who they invited back for that episode ended up losing again and even Dan Avila lost again at that Million Dollar Question on tourism destinations but at least he ended up winning $100,000 on WWTBAM four years later. I still have yet to see Jackie go on another game show and win at least some of that $200,000 that Curtis stole from her because I feel worse for her than I do for Dan.

@@hiltonlive32grnrngr you have to admit though, Curtiss was a pretty smart man. He said we got this. This is easy money! Then when he returned he got his answers right off. I remember on his 100k question he said it's a no brainer. When you're on a gameshow like Greed that's what happens. People are out there for money, and he new he could beat Jackie. So while I feel bad for Jackie, that's how games go.

[@AlexRossi5398]

32:06 Actually a really mature decision. If this were a regular episode I'd definitely want to see them play on, but it's hard to complain about stopping at $100,000 when it ensures every college student on the team pockets $20,000 for themselves.

[@ramibaghdadi1255]

I remember the one episode where the question was on what show was Chuck Woolery not the host. The team incorrectly said Wheel of Fortune.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

And on top of that the contestant who got that question claimed to have been following Chuck's career yet still got it wrong! Way to play yourself on national TV like an idiot! What an embarrassment! AND they were the only team in the whole run of of the show to bomb on the $25,000 question.

[@artvandelay7687]

@@hiltonlive32grnrngr I believe only two other $25K question contestants gave wrong answers to their questions, both of whom were saved by their captain. The first save was the Davey Jones' Locker question, that team unfortunately went on to lose at $100K anyway. The second save was by the final team of the show, which went on to be $200K winners.

Two losses at first. If I had been on that second team, I'd have gone after Erica for blowing it.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

Even though they lost on Brendan's guess? At least Erica wasn't one of those boneheaded captains who blew it for the whole team due to changing a right answer to a wrong answer... like a certain contestant did two teams after hers.

33:02 Sarah's voice sounds like Joey Lauren Adams from "Chasing Amy", and both of them kind of looked similar, at the time.

I liked her voice because I thought she sounded like a robot 🤖 Partly why I can't wait to see the June 2 episode so I can hear her voice during that team's failed attempt on that $200K Teen Life question

[@AA-dd3we]

The concept of the question is very very good (kudos to you for that) but the answers are a little vague. Sociology and History being grouped together doesn't make much sense, nor does Communications / Journalism or Biology / Medicine. BUT the concept - most common majors - is good, so again, props to you for that one. I'm a trivia writer in real life and last time I hosted Greed games for my friends, I did one with a specific university that published the most common majors (UC Davis). That was a fun one. Whenever you make and write trivia questions, for anything like Greed or fun, always make sure you have the highest quality sourcing possible. People have been sued and fired because game show stuff they wrote was wrong. That probably won't be you but it's just a little tip. One day I hope they bring Greed back. A TV journalist argued in a 2019 essay that a streaming service like Netflix could 100% bring it back.

@ryanm it's not "canned tuna fish" it's just simply tuna. There is no way you can possibly differentiate between the smell of tuna and other fish.

At least the second team made it to $200,000. I am not too pleased that Meghan stopped after $100,000. Two other teams in the show's entire run (that I can recall) stopped after $100K, and both those other times the sitting contestants looked highly upset. Meghan's team didn't seem to mind, although they looked like they wanted to, especially Mike, but then again, they were college students and college kids are typically broke and have to pay back student loans, so I guess her team was a little more forgiving.
