GOOD MORNING, WORLD.
Martina Jiménez here.
Your host for this year's championship.
Why hasn't James come back?
A very important question, indeed.
NO ONE CARES!
AND LEAST OF ALL ME.
I'M CASHING HIS PAYCHECK AFTER ALL.
Ah.
I can't say that?
Fine.
WELCOME, EVERYONE
TO THE FINAL SHOW!
IN THIS 49TH EDITION, WE HAVE TEN TEAMS COMPETING.
YOU ALREADY KNOW THE RULES.
Teams of three will go through multiple rounds.
The last team standing
WILL WIN 50 MILLION DOLLARS.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THAT MONEY?
I'd probably donate it to charity…
Not true.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid to do that.
I'd disappear somewhere no one could find me. I owe a certain family of… questionable lineage.
Alright, alright.
Back to business.
The sponsor of this edition:
Lux Cola. A flavor…
I'm not reading that. Forgive me.
Ha ha.
What does it say there?
A STUPEFANTASTIC FLAVOR!
What a ridiculous word.
Oh? I can't say that either?
And what happened to freedom of speech?
Our first team: The Black Roses.
Made up of three women:
Lily.
35 years old. Retired from the police at a very young age.
She tried opening a bar to make a living, but that didn't work out, did it?
That's why she's here.
Marlem.
5'9". Slim build.
Skills—
19 years old. Single mother of two.
Her parents kicked her out after finding out the father was her high school teacher. Oh, this just keeps getting worse.
And you look like the kind who'd blush during biology class.
Where's the father now?
Well, lately he's been spotted hopping from airport to airport.
Oh.
Yes. I see.
Right…
Moving on to:
Miriam.
23 years old. Mechanical engineer. Currently pursuing a PhD.
Owns a profitable tech company.
What are you doing here?
Did you get bored of your perfectly structured life?
Oh, Miriam. You have no idea what you've signed up for.
The second team is…
Thunder and Lightning?
What a childish name.
Ha ha.
Kevin:
24 years old. 6'6". Athletic build.
Former member of the S.A.S.
Three service distinctions for participating in and helping liberate Easter Island.
Good for him.
Also facing a lawsuit over unpaid child support.
Harold:
19 years old. 5'5". Build: unfortunate.
Spent his entire life trying to breach computer systems. Never quite succeeded.
And when he almost did, he got caught and arrested.
He's here under detention status.
If he wins, he'll be able to pay his one-million-dollar fine and keep the rest.
Tennisson:
34 years old. 5'10". Build: office worker.
A life of sedentary habits and excess has gifted him that belly currently fighting for survival against his shirt buttons.
The third team: The Howlers.
Such originality.
Ha ha.
Oh.
THEY'RE FROM THE DEATH SQUAD.
God…
You really enjoy this kind of thing, don't you, boys?
All three names are classified:
X, Y, and Z.
I'm not joking. If you scan their fingerprints, that's literally what comes up.
Uh, yes.
Not much to say about them.
Death, death, death.
Would you like a more graphic description?
Ah—
I'm being told I've gone over time.
We'll be back after commercials.
If you want, skip them. They'll run continuously for ten or fifteen minutes.
Oh.
Fine. I won't say anything else.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
THE FINAL SHOW
WILL BEGIN
Right after these commercials.
