"How many testes does the South African Bull Frog have?" (Answer: none as the frog does not exist)
"How long until there is only a night side and day side to the earth? Answer withing one million years." (Answer: the sun will swallow it before that happens)
Of course he got the answers wrong and both of the other two were smart enough not to buzz in on them. Now James was $4000 in the hole and the game was over. So he screamed.
"Now, Jim," said the host, "I know that you're frustrated, but please try to control yourself on stage."
"No," said James. "And my name is James. Not Jim. As I've told you six times."
"Well, I'm sorry about that, but there is still no call for screaming."
"Yes. Yes there is. You [beep]-ers have this whole thing [beep]-ing rigged. I don't know how. I don't know why. But you do. And I'll [beep]-ing scream if I [beep]-ing want to."
"James, please. You know we can't air that kind of language. Anyway, we have some nice parting gifts for you."
"What? I years supply of laundry detergent? [beep] that. I want some [beep]-ing money."
"You had your chance. The same chance that the other two contestants had."
James looked at them. Denise and Ralph. They looked smug. He screamed again."The [beep] I did! The [beep]-ing buzzer was rigged!"
"Now you know that's not true. You did very well in the qualifying."
"And that's why it has to be rigged!" James kicked his podium and hurt his toes. He screamed a third time and pushed at the podium, which fell over. James reached to his right and pulled over Denise's podium, pushed her aside and then pushed over Ralph's. Both of the other two backed away, hands up and watched James, wary of what he would do next.
With the podiums down, James jumped on them. He wanted to break them, make them feel the way he did. Hurt them. Make sure that they would never cheat another contestant.
The in-studio audience has watched all of this with the usual oohs and ahhs, but now a few of them felt it was time to get in on the act. A couple of college kids jumped the railing and started to kick attack the podiums as well, yelling "It's rigged! It's rigged!" Soon the podiums were nothing but splinters.
At this point, the host left the set. He took Diane and Ralph with him and disappeared. The rest of the audience started to split between those looking to escape and those looking to get in on the destruction. This caused everyone to get stuck in the bleachers and started some fights.
The camera men kept filming.
