"Bat is the right answer," Pasquale said to Melanie. "That takes your total to $115,000. Here comes the last question in this round."
The first part of the last question in the game appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads it aloud from his card.
"Which baseball team won the World Series...?" he asked. "Which baseball team won the World Series...? Lock in your wagers."

"Penny has wagered $40,000," Pasquale said after seeing the contestants' wagers, "Melanie has wagered $20,000, and Pepper has wagered $15,000. Penny, you have the highest wager, so you'll have the option to answer or shift this question."
The rest of the question appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads the entire question from his card.
"Which baseball team won the World Series against the New York Yankees in 1960?" he asked.

"The Pittsburgh Pirates is the right answer," Pasquale said to Penny. "That takes your total to $155,000. That was the last question in this round. And this is where we stand. Penny has $155,000, Pepper has $75,000, and Melanie has $115,000. One more person is about to leave here with nothing. Penny, you're in the lead, so you're safe from being shafted off the show, which means that you are guaranteed a spot in the endgame in which your total of $155,000 will be carried over. That money is not yours yet; it's to play for. The question is, which other contestant do you trust more than the other? As the leader at the end of this round, you will get to choose whom to shaft. I'll give you a moment to think about it, and then, I'll ask for a name."
A different music cue was played while the lights on the set lit up in a specific symmetrical pattern. This lasted for about ten seconds, after which the music ended and all the lights on the set lit up white at the same time.
"So, Penny," said Pasquale, "who is the last person to be shafted and why?"

" I'm just thinking about the show and who deserves a spot in the final and that person is Melanie so I'm shafting off Pepper " Penny said

"All right, Pepper," said Pasquale. "Penny has chosen to shaft you off the show. I'm now going to give you a moment to talk to her, and she could change her mind and shaft Melanie if you're persuasive enough."

"You've got to have some self-confidence," Pasquale said to Pepper. "You've got to let Penny know that you're trustworthy enough to move on to the endgame with her. Are you sure that's all you want to say to her?"

"All right, so, Penny is sticking to her original choice," said Pasquale. "I'm sorry, Pepper. You're off the show."
The show's logo then flashed, and Pepper was gone.
"We've started with six contestants," said Pasquale, "and we're now down to two. Penny and Melanie. It's now time for each of you to make that all-important decision. Are you going to share or shaft? You'll each make your choice at those two podiums in the endgame."
He pointed at the two podiums on the other side of the set where he stood between at the beginning of the show.
"Let's all head there, right now," he said, and he walked from his podium to the two that are about to be used in the endgame.

" Yeah I wanna own Barcelona football club and you need to share to do that so I'll share" Melanie said.

"Penny and Melanie," said Pasquale, "please, each of you stand behind a podium. You've gone through a test of greed, you've gone through a test of knowledge, and you're now going to go through a test of trust. Each of you have a touch screen on your podium. You will each use your touch screen to secretly make your decision. The decisions you'll make will determine how much money each of you will be going home with. As always, it's the contestant in the lead at the end of the final previous round whose total is carried over to the endgame. Penny ended that round in the lead with $155,000, so that amount of money is at stake in the endgame tonight. If you both pick 'share', then you both split the money; you'll leave here with $77,500 each. If one of you picks 'share' and the other picks 'shaft', then the person who picks 'shaft' leaves here with the entire $155,000, and the person who picks 'share' leaves here with nothing. And if you both pick 'shaft', then you both leave here with nothing. Now, before you make your choices, we're going to take a look at what each of you had said about yourselves before the show. Here's what each of you said about yourselves."
One at a time, two video clips were played, each one featuring a remaining contestant explaining what that contestant did good for other people. The first video clip featured Penny talking about herself, and the second one featured Melanie talking about herself.

(Raine, please, pay close attention to everything I post in this rp. Pasquale hasn't told Penny and Melanie to lock in their choices yet.)
"You've now heard from those videos what the other has to say about themselves," Pasquale said to Penny and Melanie. "The question is, how much of what you've just heard do you believe? Each of you will make a secret, individual decision using your touch screen. Will you share or shaft? Lock in your decisions, now."
