(station music)
- [woman] That is so much money.
- [Chris] I've never seen this happen.
- [man] Let's Go!
- [Chris] So far.
The Wall has paid out over 25 million dollars.
- [Chris] All time record!
(screaming)
- [Chris] Is the correct answer!
- [Chris] Get the answers.
- [Chris] Drop it.
- [Announcer] The Wall adds money.
And now with even more exciting ways to win.
- [Chris] We're in wall to wall.
- Obviously you want to go big
- [Announcer] But make a mistake.
And The Wall. Takes away.
- Tonight.
The dream shot goes to a husband and wife
from Lubbock, Texas.
- [Chris] So, Jeremiah and Nikki have known each other
since kindergarten.
Jeremiah's a cowboy and a saddle maker,
and Nikki runs the business side of the shop.
They also volunteer together.
They recently traveled the villages in the Middle East to
teach refugees how to successfully farm goats.
- These two Texans are ready to take on The Wall, right now.
- [Announcer] Welcome to The Wall on NBC.
(theme music)
- [Chris] Please welcome to The Wall, Jeremiah and Nikki.
- [Jeremiah] Yo, oh man.
- [Chris] Come on. - [Jeremiah] Look at that.
- What's goin' on Chris? - What's up man?
- [Jeremiah] Holy smokes! That thing is big.
- This is so cool. - Is it surreal?
- [Nikki] I think I'm in a dream right now,
- so I need someone to pinch me.
- This is totally real.
- [Chris] And what's also real is there's
- up to, eh, a little over $12 million dollars
- [Chris] potentially at stake.
- [Jeremiah] Oh my goodness.
- [Chris] But, before we get started,
I want people to get to know y'all a little bit.
- Okay.
- [Chris] Jeremiah and Nikki are from Lubbock, Texas.
They both have huge hearts.
They've been married seven years,
- [Chris] but they've known each other their entire lives.
- [Jeremiah] We met the first day of kindergarten.
- I saw this punk walk in and
I just knew that's the guy I'm gonna get married to.
- [Jeremiah] We did the whole awkward,
slow dance from middle school.
I hadn't grown into my head yet.
- Oh my goodness.
- Jeremiah's a good old Texas cowboy at heart, but currently,
- [Chris] they pay the bills by working together
in their own small business
where Jeremiah is a skilled custom saddle maker.
- And even though Nikki and Jeremiah love what they do,
- [Chris] they've had their hearts set on something else--
running their own cattle ranch.
- [Jeremiah] In 2016,
- we had an opportunity to get into ranching,
but unfortunately because of the economy and just everything
was working against us,
we ended up having to get out of ranching.
- [Jeremiah] Then it was,
it was a tough transition for us.
But even though we lost our own ranch,
- we were able to go to the Middle East and
- [Jeremiah] in Jordan,
we worked with Global Hope International.
We were able to volunteer there
and help with people who are
starting their own ranches.
So with just a handful of goats,
they're taken from a place of poverty
to where they're in business
and they're supporting their village.
(applause)
- [Chris] That's incredible. That's really incredible.
- [Jeremiah] You know, you would think
in the middle of the desert, in the Middle East,
- we're cattle people, they're goat people,
there's this big divide, but at the end of the day,
it's not.
It's a group of people trying to support their family
- with animals. - 10 Goats.
What that would do for a family is
change their life completely.
- Amazing,
- Man, by the time we we left and
the people we were working with,
they were making yogurt. They were making milk.
They were making butter.
- Right.
- And they weren't just getting by. Like, it took 'em from
nowhere to live to like middle class
in their little community.
- [Chris] That is fantastic.
You are a working cowboy, first and foremost.
- I have all the respect in the world for,
and I hope that we're able to help you make
- that dream come true today. - All right,
- [Chris] So, let's see if we can get
- a lot of money up here.
- [Chris] Later in the show,
the million dollar bin is on the line.
We're gonna give you 10 chances of that million dollars,
but to earn a shot at the millions we
- gotta get into Free Fall plus, first.
- [Chris] Let's load up those free balls!
- You have to lock in your answer before the first
- [Chris] ball breaks the plane on the top of the
slots right there.
And then we just have to finish Free Fall in the positive
for a chance to go on to play for millions of dollars.
- There's a golden touch pad in front of you
with a plus sign on it.
If you feel really confident about an answer,
you can hit that.
- [Chris] The balls will turn gold
- and double the amount. - Yeah!
- But you can only use it once. - Okay.
- [Chris] So use it wisely, my friend.
- [Jeremiah] We can do that.
- Are you ready to go?
- We're ready.
- Let us begin.
- [Chris] Here is the first question of Free Fall.
Academy Award nominee, Margot Robbie,
grew up in the Gold Coast,
a city on the shore of which country?
- Is it
- [Chris] Australia or New Zealand?
- A. Australia.
- Australia.
- [Jeremiah] Come On, Wall.
- [Chris] I see 1 dollar.
10 dollars.
What the heck. Come on, Wall
100 dollars
- Alright, we'll take it.
- [Chris] $111.
That is a correct answer.
Australia.
- Hey. Alright.
- [Chris] Alright. That's hundred $111 on The Wall.
- Here comes question two of Free Fall.
A hockey player who scores three goals in a single game is
said to have accomplished, what?
Is it?
A hat trick or a threepeat?
- A threepeat.
- Are you sure? Okay, I'll go with you. Threepeat!
- [Jeremiah] Come on. Come on.
Twenty five thousand!
- [Chris] We got a twenty five
one hundred there,
five thousand dollars.
- Five thousand!
- Okay. I'm not super confident.
- I gotta say, sweetie.
There's not a lot of hockey going on in West Texas.
- You said threepeat. It's a hat trick.
- [Chris] So sorry. I'm so sorry, but that's okay.
Hey, all we have to do is finish Free Fall in the positive.
So that's all we have to worry about.
- It's okay. We've just gotta be in positive.
- [Chris] There's $0 on The Wall.
- We have three questions left.
You still have a plus to use.
- Okay. Yeah, we got time.
- [Chris] Here is your next question.
- [Chris] The genre of action movies
that were made by Italian studios
in the 1960s and seventies
- are referred to by which noodely name?
Is it,
- [Chris] Fettuccini Western or Spaghetti Western?
- It's spaghetti. Spaghetti.
- Spaghetti. B.
- [Chris] You turned them all gold!
We plussed up on Spaghetti Western.
A hundred dollars. One dollar? A hundred dollars?
- All right. We know this one.
- [Chris] You activated Free Fall Plus.
- $201 Would be $402.
That's a correct answer.
- [Chris] That is a correct answer.
- All right!
- Absolutely. Yes!
- [Chris] Yeah. On The Wall right now $402.
- Here is your fourth question of Free Fall.
- [Chris] In a it hit single from Avril Levine in 2002.
- She sings, "see ya later, boy".
- [Chris] To what kind of boy?
- Is it
- [Chris] Surfer boy or skater boy?
- Skater boy!
Skater boy. B, skater boy.
- [Jeremiah] Come on 25,000. Everything in the middle.
Over. Over.
Twenty five thousand!
- [Chris] Ten thousand, five thousand
fifteen thousand and a hundred dollars.
- Hey, this is our generation.
I may not look like a skater boy, but I've sang this.
- [Jeremiah] I know for sure.
- He used to wear vans.
- Nikki.
- And he had frosted tips.
- [Chris] Yeah, everybody had frosted tips.
Yeah. No, shut up.
- Come on.
- [Chris] Frosting your hair was cool.
- Guys, that's a correct answer though.
- [Jeremiah] All right.
- [Chris] Your total on The Wall.
- $15,502.
- Woo!
- All right.
- Here's your last question of Free Fall.
Roy G Biv
- [Chris] is a mnemonic device
used to teach school children what?
Is it the
- Colors of the rainbow
- [Chris] Order of the planets
- [Nikki] A. Rainbow
- [Chris] Colors of the rainbow
$20,000 on The Wall.
$10,000!
$30,100.
- Alright.
- That is a correct answer.
- [Chris] Your total on The Wall now is
$45,602.
- 45,000 - Yes
- Oh man.
- [Chris] That's gonna be the base of your guarantee,
plus a bonus for every answer that's correct.
Which is gonna make the decision real hard.
- Do you keep guaranteed money?
- [Chris] Do you tear up a contract
and risk it all potentially for
whatever could be left on The Wall?
- [Chris] Hopefully, it's millions of dollars.
- Before the game. You decided, Nikki,
you're gonna go back behind The Wall into isolation.
- Yes.
- [Chris] Why did you decide this?
- He's so hardworking.
Like, he only looks at leather all day long.
- Yeah.
- So, I really feel like
I would do better with the questions.
He's gonna be more calculated and steady headed down here.
- [Chris] Well, the next time you see each other,
- Hopefully, you'll have millions of dollars.
- I cannot believe we're here right now,
two kids from the country where it's dusty, it's flat.
I see prairie dogs more than I see people.
You've got all the grit, you've got all the try you need.
You're gonna do great out there. Just go get 'em.
- Darling.
I love you.
And,
in our marriage,
just these seven years you have gone through more than most
people go through in a lifetime.
We've had some ups and downs in the business.
We've lost our cattle.
You're just a trooper.
I love you and
there is no amount of money that can change that,
but I believe in you and I trust you completely.
- [Nikki] I love you
- [Chris] Oh, that's amazing.
- This show needs a saddle. - Yeah.
- Cuz it is a wild ride.
- [Chris] Alright, I gotta take you back.
- Okay.
- Love you. - Love you.
- [Chris] You're gonna be great back there.
We're gonna be out here cheering you on
and we'll see you in a little while.
- [Jeremiah] I love you.
- [Chris] From this point on
she's gonna have no idea what's going on out here.
She doesn't know if you're up a million or down to zero or
back up again, but I'm here.
- We're gonna do this together.
- All right man.
- [Chris] And coming up.
- [Chris] The million dollar super drop kicks us off.
- [Chris] Everything over to the 150.
- [Chris] And later. How risky will Nikki be
with her decision?
- [Nikki] Signing this could mean
- he could finally be a dad.
Do I risk all of that?
- [Announcer] How much will the red balls
take from their total?
- To the right.
All the way!
Yeah!
(theme music)
- Welcome back to The Wall.
I'm here with Jeremiah from Lubbock, Texas.
His wife Nikki is back in isolation.
Their total on The Wall right now is
$45,602.
So before we start round two,
- Jeremiah, who have you brought in the VIP section?
- So, over here I've got my
- [Jeremiah] wonderful mother-in-law, Crystal.
- Hi
- [Jeremiah] And my father-in-law, Larry.
- Hello.
Do you remember this guy from kindergarten?
- Oh yeah. - Well, yeah.
- I mean, it's a pretty small school.
- Well, I'm so glad y'all are here
to support.
- [Chris] Let's get back into it.
Right now, up on The Wall,
we have $150,000 bin.
That's our top value on The Wall this round.
- [Jeremiah] Wow.
- We're gonna start with the Super Drop.
- [Chris] Seven green balls - Yeah.
- [Chris] are gonna rain money into your life.
- This is awesome.
- [Chris] We're gonna load every slot up with a green ball.
- All right!
- [Chris] Let's load 'em up.
Later on those are gonna turn red.
But, right now,
you could earn more than a million dollars in seconds.
- Come on!
- [Chris] And drop 'em.
- [Jeremiah] Come on! Everything over.
- We can really build up a lot of money here.
- [Jeremiah] Come on. Everything over to the 150.
- Come on! Everything over to the 150!
Everything over!
- [Jeremiah] Come on!
Get in there!
150!
Get in there!
- [Chris] You have one more chance!
- 150.
$150,123!
- Oh!
- That is - That's all right.
- a lot of money.
- Oh my, God!
- [Chris] So your total on The Wall right now
195,725.
- Man.
- [Chris] Now we're gonna get to the questions.
- So, this is where your strategy's gonna come in.
- [Chris] You're gonna decide where to play the ball from.
Five, six, and seven
can be a little riskier
because you can see the
higher amounts are underneath.
One, two, and three
can be a bit safer.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- [Chris] Then later,
a new thing we've added this season's called "Wall to Wall",
where I'm gonna turn a ball gold.
You drop it in.
Seven gold balls up there.
We're gonna give you the option to try for more money
than ever
if you choose to do that.
- Oh man.
- Here are the answers to your first question.
- [Chris] Buffalo,
Jacksonville,
St. Louis.
- Based on those, where do you wanna play this?
- These are obviously all towns.
- [Jeremiah] I really feel like she can
figure this out.
- I think I'm gonna play this one from a six.
- [Chris] All right, six.
- [Jeremiah] Alright, come on.
Be good to me.
Here it comes.
Come on, babe. You can figure this out.
- [Chris] Alright, let's send her the question.
(country music)
- [Announcer] In 1996,
Johnny Cash famously covered the song.
I've been everywhere
per the lyrics of his version.
Where has Johnny Cash not been to?
Buffalo?
Jacksonville?
St. Louis?
- [Jeremiah] Thing about St. Louis
- It doesn't rhyme very well.
- [Nikki] Okay.
- Country music.
I'm from Texas.
Like, Johnny Cash is
like, worshiped there.
- I think she's heard it.
- [Nikki] St. Louis.
I feel like that one's kind of
- like, harder to sing, maybe?
I'm mean, St. Louis.
I'm gonna go with C.
St. Louis.
Lock it in.
- [Jeremiah] Alright.
I don't know for sure, but,
- I think this is the best answer.
- [Chris] You said, oh, it doesn't really rhyme
- that man, doesn't rhyme
St. Louis.
Yeah, it doesn't fit.
And that's the right answer.
- Yeah!
- [Chris] Number 6.
Good, risky play.
- [Chris] Let's drop that green in the 150.
- Come on.
Come on.
- [Jeremiah] Everything over to the 150.
Come on!
Over to the 150!
Come on! Come on!
Over this way. This way.
Come on. Come on.
Keep going. Over, over, over.
Come on. All the way over again.
Get over there.
75!
- Oh man.
- [Chris] Your total on The Wall is
195,726.
- That's a lot of money.
- Well it is.
And the good news about that is
because you got a right answer
that's $20,000 added to your guarantee,
- That's true, Yeah.
- which puts you over 65 grand now?
- All right.
- Here are your next set of answers.
Sulfuric acid.
Carbon dioxide.
Sodium hydroxide.
Would you like to double up?
- We were in the same science class in high school and
I know she was not paying attention or was I, so,
I think I'm gonna play this one from a before.
- [Chris] All right. Not gonna double up.
Put that in there.
- [Jeremiah] You got this.
- [Chris] Four is loaded up.
Let's send Nikki the question.
- [Announcer] The candy, Pop Rocks,
gets its signature pop from gasified bubbles
from which chemical compound?
Sulfuric acid.
Carbon dioxide.
Sodium hydroxide.
- [Nikki] Y'all,
- Sulfuric acid? That sounds pretty harsh.
Like, I'm not sure that that should be in candy.
- Sounds like it would hurt.
- [Nikki] Carbon dioxide?
- Makes soda fizz.
So maybe that has something to do with it.
- Carbonated water. I can see where she's going.
- [Nikki] Sodium hydroxide,
- doesn't sound like that's what they
should put candy either.
So, B.
Carbon dioxide.
Lock it in.
- [Chris] Alright.
I heard you say it over there.
You said, oh, like carbonated.
- And she said like the fizz in soda.
That's correct.
- Carbon dioxide.
- [Jeremiah] Alright.
- You did so good.
- [Chris] Pop rocks.
- [Jeremiah] Come on!
- [Chris] Let's see if we can get this in 150
and get that total up.
Drop it!
- [Jeremiah] I Need a big number.
- Come on.
All the way to the right.
Come on.
Come on!
All the way over!
- Come here.
Come on. 150!
Come on.
Please, please, please.
- It's okay, Jeremiah.
- [Chris] Oh my God.
- Okay. It's fine.
It's fine.
- [Chris] That was really close.
You know what though?
It is fine
cuz she's killing it with the answers
$195,727.
- Okay.
- Alright. Here is your next set of answers.
- [Chris] Who?
What?
Why?
Now,
- you can play a single ball,
- [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- [Chris] you can triple up,
- Yeah.
- [Chris] or you can say,
- I wanna go Wall to Wall!
- Oh man.
- Where we're gonna make that fancy ball, Gold.
And then we put seven fancy balls up there.
Wall to Wall
could get you over 1.2 million,
but it could also wipe you out.
- Man.
I think right before the evil Super Drop,
we need to keep adding money.
So I'm gonna be risky, safe.
- Okay
- I'm gonna play from a four.
- Okay.
- And triple up.
- [Chris] All right.
We're tripling up from four.
This is for a chance for a lot of money, Nikki.
- [Jeremiah] There's two. One more.
- [Chris] And the third.
All right.
- Come on babe.
I know you got this.
- [Chris] We're tripled up from four.
- Let's send Nikki the question.
- [Announcer] In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Juliet famously asks, "Where for art thou Romeo?"
With where for meaning,
which of the following?
Who?
What?
Why?
- Man.
- [Nikki] Okay,
- I'm trying to channel my middle school
- [Nikki] teacher here.
So who art thou,
- Romeo.
I don't know why she would say who
I feel like she would know it's Romeo.
What art thou Romeo.
- [Nikki] What does that mean? Like,
I don't know.
- Why art thou Romeo?
- That one sounds the best to me for some reason.
So I'm gonna go with
C. Why.
Lock it in.
- Oh man.
- Where for does mean why?
That's a correct answer.
- Yeah.
Oh man.
- [Chris] So you tripled up from 4,
which was great.
Let's get some money up in here.
Come on.
Drop them.
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
All the way to the right.
All over in the big number!
Come on over!
Come to the right!
$50,000
- [Chris] Alright.
We got $50,000.
- 50,000.
- [Chris] That's not bad.
- Yes.
- [Chris] That means you're total right now is
245,729.
- $245,000.
- She's three for three. - Yeah.
- You're doing great. - Oh, man.
- Let's keep that positivity going
as we have to plow through the evil Super Drop.
- Oh man. - This is how we restore
- balance to The Wallverse. - I know.
- [Chris] We gotta turn those red.
Let's load up the evil red balls.
- Come on.
Oh man.
- [Chris] We are protecting $245,000.
That's what we have to keep safe.
Evil Super Drop it!
- No, come on.
- [Jeremiah] Everything in the one.
Come on. Everything in the $1.
Come on right here.
- [Chris] Let's see.
Two more left over there.
- [Jeremiah] Get over there. Come on.
- [Chris] There's a 5 thousand
There's a hundred
There's a hundred!
Oh my gosh.
That was too close.
It was in and out the hundred.
It could have been so bad.
- Nicely done. - Woo.
- [Chris] You still have a $140,319.
- Man.
- [Chris] That's all right.
We're gonna add a million dollar bin to The Wall
when we come back.
- [Jeremiah] Get along.
Get along, Wall.
- [Chris] With four free shots at it,
- Get right here in the millions.
- [Jeremiah] Come on. Yes, yes.
Come on.
Oh my God!
- [Chris] how many millions will Jeremiah add to The Wall?
Okay.
- [Jeremiah] Stay to the right.
(theme music)
- Welcome back to The Wall.
- [Chris] I am here with Jeremiah.
He's an amazing saddle maker
and cowboy from Lubbock, Texas,
who's looking to get back to his dream
of running his own family ranch.
With land prices sky high
and drought being a constant issue,
a few years back, he and his wife Nikki,
had to sell the cows and
close up shop on their small operation.
- They're hoping tonight
they can get closer to doing the work
they truly love in west Texas.
Nikki's behind The Wall in isolation.
She's crushing it right now.
- She's got three for three, right.
Their current total on The Wall is
- [Chris] $140,319.
- And, everything can turn around real quickly because
- [Chris] we have the million dollar bin
up there on The Wall.
There it is.
Gold - light it up!
- Million dollars!
- As you know, we start this round with four green balls.
- [Chris] That's four free shots at the million.
- And later on at the end of the round,
- [Chris] those turn red.
We play 'em from the same spots.
And then there are those three questions in between where
you can tip the scales in your favor or against it.
- Let's just get to the green balls
and get some money up there.
Where do you wanna play this first one?
- We have. We've got a lot of money on The Wall.
Think I'm gonna play it from a number two?
- [Chris] Number two. All right.
- [Jeremiah] This two, I wanna play for my mom and dad.
- My dad is,
he's the reason I wanted to be a cowboy.
- [Jeremiah] He's had a ton of open art surgeries.
- Oh my God.
- He's just a fighter.
He keeps coming back.
He's still running some cows.
He just, he doesn't, he doesn't quit.
- [Jeremiah] this number to is for them because they,
- they just made me who I am.
- [Chris] Alright. Number two.
- [Chris] Were trying to add a million dollars to this wall.
- [Jeremiah] Come on, we gotta add some money.
- This is for you mom and dad. - [Chris] Come on.
Let's have some good drop now.
- Come on. - Drop it.
- Come on all the way over to that million.
We can go across The Wall.
- [Jeremiah] Come on all the way across.
Go to the right!
Come on!
All the way across. All the way across.
Come on, come on, come on.
All the way over. All the way over.
Come on, come on.
- [Chris] Get to the right.
- [Jeremiah] 50, 100.
Okay.
- [Chris] It's hundred dollars.
- Okay. Hey,
- [Chris] Your total on The Wall now is 140,419.
Where do you wanna play your next green ball?
- [Jeremiah] I think we need a little more money.
I'm gonna play this one from a four.
- [Chris] Okay. A four.
Alright.
Number four.
Right down the middle.
This can take you over 1.1 million.
Let's go ahead and drop it.
- Come on this one go all the way to the right.
Come on.
Go to the million.
Come on. All the way to the right.
Come on, keep going.
To the right, to the right. Come on.
All the way over. Come on.
200 thousand. We'll take it.
- Okay. Man.
- [Chris] 140,420.
- We still have two more.
So where do you wanna play that third ball?
- I think I'm gonna be a little risky and
play this one from a six.
- [Chris] Okay. A six.
- I wanna play this one for Nikki and I's
nephews and our niece.
We've got six of them.
Nikki and I haven't been able to have kids yet,
but in the meantime,
our family means so much and getting to be around these kids.
So, I wanna play this one for our nephews and our niece
and for our kids we're gonna have one day.
- Fantastic. Okay. Number six.
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
- [Chris] We are due.
We are due for a good drop.
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
- This Wall is being a stubborn cow.
What are you supposed to do when a cow just won't walk.
- That's right. Come on, get-along!
- [Chris] Get-along Wall.
- Come on. - [Chris] Drop it.
- [Jeremiah] All the way to the right.
Come right here in the million.
Come on. All the way over.
Stay to the right. Stay to the right.
- Okay. - Come on.
Yes, come on.
Yes. Come on over, over, over.
Come on to the million. Come on to the million!
Come on to the million.
Oh God.
Oh.
- [Chris] So close.
So close.
- [Jeremiah] Oh man.
- [Chris] All right, $140,520.
- You have one green ball left to play.
Where do you wanna play it?
- We need another shot at that million.
So
I'm gonna,
I'm gonna take the risk.
- All right.
- [Jeremiah] I think I'm playing from the seven on this one.
- [Chris] Alright, we're going on the seven.
I understand why we gotta get that bank up.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah, we're due for a million.
- Come on.
- [Chris] This could take you over 1.1 million.
Drop it!
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
- I'm playing this one risky.
I need to pay off.
- [Jeremiah] We need a big number here.
- Come on. Come on. Right here. Come on.
All the way over. That way to the million.
Come on to the million. All the way over.
Come on to the million. Come on.
All the way over. All the way over.
- Yeah!
- [Chris] Finally.
- Oh my God! - $500,000.
- [Jeremiah] Oh.
- [Chris] Finally! Finally!
500,000.
- [Chris] Brilliantly played.
- [Jeremiah] Oh.
- [Chris] 640,520. - $640,000!
- Whoa. - [Chris] Fantastic.
- Oh.
- What's your policy on hugging?
Because if, if it gets any more Western up here,
I'm a hugger.
- Hugs are free and hug are welcome.
- Okay man, I'm close.
Oh. $640,000!
- [Chris] $640,000.
This is going very well.
So we're gonna go onto the questions now.
- I'm gonna give you the first set of answers.
- [Chris] Tiger Woods
Wolf Blitzer
Seal
Megan Fox.
- I think this is a trick question.
I don't think it has anything to do with celebrities.
I think it has to do with tigers, wolves, seals and foxes.
Nikki, however, was not an animal science major,
so I'm going to play three.
It's towards the middle.
It's not too risky, but it's not too safe.
- [Chris] All right, number three.
Number three
Let's send Nikki the question.
- [Announcer] Which of these celebrities
shares a name with a mammal,
classified as an omnivore?
Tiger Woods.
Wolf Blitzer.
Seal.
Megan Fox.
- Okay.
I hope you played pretty risky on this one because,
- Oh.
- [Nikki] we actually have Fox's back where we're from and
- we also had this one Fox who was really mad
that we built our softball field in his habitat.
So he would leave us little
- Fox gifts,
if you know what I mean,
on the bases.
Anyways, it was disgusting.
I was usually the one that had to like clean it off.
So Fox, I know what they eat from seeing their
gifts that they leave us.
- Man, you never know what's gonna help in trivia.
- [Nikki] So, I'm gonna go with
- D. Megan Fox.
Lock it in.
- [Jeremiah] Okay.
- Megan Fox.
- Is the correct answer.
- Yeah,
- [Chris] Alright! she's four for four.
You played number three.
- Still a good play. - [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- [Chris] 640 grand. Let's get over a million.
- [Jeremiah] Come on. - [Chris] Drop it.
- [Jeremiah] We can take this one all the way to a million.
We need a lot of money here. Come on.
- [Jeremiah] Come on. Over to the million.
Come on over to the million.
Over to the right. Come on.
All the way to the right.
- [Chris] Hundred thousand! - Yes!
- That's a hundred thousand. - [Jeremiah] Yes!
- A hundred thousand dollars. - $100,000.
Who would've ever thought that picking up fox poop
would be worth a hundred thousand dollars?
- A $100,000.
- [Chris] That makes your total
- $740,520.
- That is a lot of money.
- [Chris] Things are going very well up here right now.
- And there's still two questions left in the game.
He's gonna be able to double up, triple up.
Can Nikki keep the streak going? We'll find out.
- With a massive total on The Wall
and millions still up for grabs...
You can triple up if you want.
- Alright.
- [Chris] Will this young couple from Texas
walk away Millionaires?
- No! - [Jeremiah] To the left.
To the left. All the way. No! No!
(theme music)
- Welcome back to The Wall.
Alright.
We have two questions left.
Nikki is four for four.
- [Chris] You have $740,520 on The Wall.
- [Chris] Here are your next set of answers.
Saxophone
Mandolin
Clavichord
Glockenspiel.
Now you can double up if you want.
Two balls could be worth 2 million
or they could wipe you out.
- To me. We're getting to the point.
This is enough money I need to protect.
- Okay.
- I think I want to go all the way to a one here.
- Okay. And you're so you're not doubling up.
- I'm not. I'm just gonna do one ball from a one.
- [Chris] Okay.
One ball. Drop it in.
Come on. Come on, Nikki.
- [Chris] Alright, can we go five for five?
Let's send Nikki the question.
- [Announcer] Patented in 1846.
What musical instrument
is named after the man who invented it?
Saxophone.
Mandolin.
Clavichord.
Glockenspiel.
- Okay.
- Come on Nikki.
- I am kind of hoping you played it safe.
- I did.
- So because I've never heard of a Clavichord or the
Glockenspiel.
I'm going to eliminate both.
Saxophone to me doesn't really sound like it would be a last
name for some reason. Like I'm thinking,
like Bob Saxophone,
- [Nikki] I am really leaning towards mandolin.
- Jeremiah plays mandolin.
He's really good at it.
So for no other reason than that,
I'm gonna go with
B. Mandolin.
Lock it in.
- Alright. - Alright.
So you played one ball from number one.
You did not double up, which was a good move.
Saxophone was the correct answer.
- Oh, okay.
- [Chris] Sax was the last name of the guy.
- Saxophone. - Sax.
- [Chris] His last name wasn't saxophone.
- Okay.
- So let's go ahead and drop that.
- Come on. We need a one, a 10.
I'll even give up a hundred.
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
Everything to the left. Come on.
Go to the left.
Yeah, to the left.
- [Chris] Hundred thousand.
- Okay. - 100,000.
- Now we have to subtract that hundred thousand 640,520.
- It could have been a lot worse.
- Could have been devastating. We have one question left
before we have to drop the four reds.
- Okay.
- [Chris] Here is your last set of answers.
1825 years.
2050 years.
3300 years.
4615 years.
Based on that.
- You can triple up if you want. - Yeah.
- [Chris] It's a potential $3 million question.
- Yeah. - Or it could wipe you out.
- She's done so good though.
I have every reason to believe in her.
But this question just could be anything.
I think I'm gonna play one ball.
I think I'm gonna play with a three.
- [Chris] Okay. One ball from three.
- [Jeremiah] One ball from three.
- [Chris] Alright.
- This is our last question.
Potentially a million dollar drop.
- [Jeremiah] Okay
- [Chris] Let's send it over.
- [Announcer] Steve Martin first performed
his owed to a Pharaoh, King Tut,
on Saturday Night Live in 1978.
Approximately, how many years were between that performance
and the end of Tut's reign as king of Egypt?
1,825 years.
2,050 years.
3,300 years.
4,615 years.
- Y'all.
This is like, not my subject.
Seriously.
Like, why couldn't you ask me a question about cows or
something?
- [Nikki] I don't know.
- Okay, let's just, let's just narrow it down here.
- Come on.
- I'm in between thirty three hundred and forty six hundred.
- Come on Nikki.
- I'm gonna go with
D
4,615 years.
Lock it in.
- [Chris] Okay. She locked it in.
- [Jeremiah] Oh.
- I don't know.
- It was 3,300 years.
- Oh - [Chris] She was so close.
- Almost landed on it. - Yeah.
- [Chris] She did a great job. But you did a great job because
- of how you played this. - I'm glad we played
from a three.
- [Chris] So...
Drop it in a dollar.
- Come on, we've got this.
We've got a lot of money to protect.
Come on.
Stay to the left.
- [Chris] No, that's right.
Stay to the left. Left.
- [Jeremiah] Come on over, over, over, over.
Over. $1.
$1.
- [Chris] $100!
- Yes. - Yes.
- [Chris] Oh my gosh.
You are playing
an excellent game out here.
You've only lost a hundred dollars that time.
Your total is 640,420
- Oh my goodness.
- [Chris] All right.
- Oh man.
- [Chris] It's deliberation time.
- Nikki has a seemingly
- [Chris] impossible choice of taking guaranteed money
or whatever is potentially left on The Wall.
She has no way of knowing how much money that is.
But right inside this tube is a contract.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah. - And
- [Chris] everyone who plays this game
has a chance to leave with guaranteed money.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Your free fall amount was $45,602.
Nikki got four questions right.
So, 20 grand for each one of those.
That's an additional 80,000.
If she signs a contract,
it was worth 125,602.
- Alright!
- [Chris] If she tears it up,
you'll be leaving with whatever amount
- is left on The Wall after the game.
Right now that number's 640,420.
But we still gotta get through those red balls.
- [Chris] Let's bring her up on The Wall.
She can't hear you or see you.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- [Chris] but you can still talk to her
and I'm gonna send her this contract.
- [Jeremiah] Okay.
Hi sweetheart.
- We're not like most people.
We don't know what our paycheck's gonna be
every month cuz we're self-employed.
So
you've always been willing to give up the guarantee
to take a risk cuz that's what mom and pop businesses are.
You're mom and I'm pop in this business.
But you know,
I think we can survive those four red balls.
I want you to, I want you to tear up that contract, babe.
I think we're gonna survive this and
I think we're gonna be fine.
I want you to tear it up.
- [Chris] She has a contract now. Everything's in her hands.
We're gonna cut off this feed so she can
make her decision in private.
We're gonna find out what decision she made
at the end of the show.
- [Nikki] I am confident in like
- one question, maybe two.
Do I sign this,
take the guarantee,
or do I risk...
do I risk all of that?
Jeremiah and I have gone through seven years of trying to
have a baby.
- [Nikki] It's been difficult.
- And signing this contract could mean that...
- [Nikki] I just wanna make you proud and
- I just wanna make you a dad.
- Welcome Back to The Wall.
- [Chris] I'm here with Jeremiah.
There's 640,420 on The Wall.
We're just waiting for Nikki to make her decision.
- 640 is a lot.
- [Chris] I hear the con.
Oh, well, it's done.
- [Jeremiah] It's done.
- Whatever she did is contained within that tube.
One last terrible part of the game we have to attend to.
We have to drop four red balls from the same number as the
beginning of the round with 640,000.
Any one ball could wipe you out at this point though.
- [Chris] We're just gonna get through this as best we can.
- Yeah. Yeah. - All right?
- We can do this.
- The first number you chose was two.
- [Chris] Drop it in there.
- We've had lots of $1 drops,
so I think we can do it again.
- [Chris] Alright.
We're trying to protect the $640,420.
- Man, Nikki worked so hard for this money.
- [Jeremiah] Let's just keep this to the left.
- [Chris] Drop it.
- [Jeremiah] Just stay to the left.
- All the way to the left.
- [Jeremiah] Let's just put it right here on the one.
All the way over.
Come on.
Get to way to the left.
Get to the left.
Come on, get the left.
All the way to the left.
To the $1. All the way to the left.
To the $1.
$10.
Yes.
- [Jeremiah] $10. Yes.
- Very nice. Very nice.
- [Jeremiah] Oh.
- [Chris] Alright. $10.
You have $640,410.
- Woo.
- The next number you selected was four.
- [Jeremiah] Okay.
Come on.
- [Chris] We're in the number four. Right in the middle.
Can go anywhere. 640 on The Wall.
Drop it.
- Keep this all the way to the left.
Go to the left. Come on, go to the left.
- [Chris] Get to the left!
Okay. Come on.
Over to the left.
Over to the left. To the left.
Come on in the one. In the one. Come on. Come on.
Oh.
- Yes! - [Chris] Oh my gosh.
- [Jeremiah] Oh
- [Chris] That just kissed out of the 300.
That was so close.
- Oh.
- [Chris] You still have on The Wall
640,409.
- Oh man. - [Chris] Okay.
You got through half of it,
but the third number you selected
- Man.
- was Six.
- [Jeremiah] Okay, come on.
We've got this, man.
I've seen it go all the way across the board.
- Let's make it happen right now.
- [Chris] Drop it.
- [Jeremiah] Come on all the way to the left.
Stay away from the million.
Come on.
We've got this all the way to the left.
All the way over. Come on. No, no.
All the way. Yes. Yes.
To the left. To the left. All the way.
No, no to the left.
I'm goin' for a hug. I'm goin' for a hug.
- [Jeremiah] We've survived so far.
- Hugs are welcome.
- Oh.
- [Chris] Oh my God. - Oh.
- [Chris] That ball was dancing over the million,
but only took $1.
We have one ball left. Your total on The Wall right now
$640,408.
- But, we ended with the seven.
- We ended with the seven.
- [Jeremiah] Oh no.
- [Chris] Put that in.
- This one's gonna go all the way across Chris.
- [Chris] Yep.
Whatever's meant to happen is gonna happen.
You've done everything you can do.
- [Jeremiah] Oh man.
- [Chris] We're trying to protect $640,408.
We gotta keep this out of a million.
- [Jeremiah] Come on.
- Drop it.
- Drop it right now.
Come on to the left.
- [Jeremiah] To the left.
Just stay away from the million.
Come on.
Just stay away from the million.
- [Jeremiah] All the way over.
- [Jeremiah] Come on, drop all the way.
Get over there.
Get away. Get over there.
Get to the left.
All the way over. Get to the left.
Yes. Yes.
To the left.
Get away from there.
- [Chris] Oh my God! Come on!
You did it! Come here. Come here.
Yeah!
- [Chris] What
an epic
run.
- [Chris] You only lost 10 bucks.
- Holy cows.
640,000.
- Woo.
- Oh my god.
- That's was so rough. Oh!
- Okay, in just a minute,
we're gonna find out how the story ends.
What decision did Nikki make behind The Wall?
Will it be a signed contract for $125,602,
which is a lot of money?
Or, did she risk it for $640,398,
- which is a lot more money. - [Jeremiah] Yes.
- We're all out of breath up here.
We're gonna catch our breath. You catch yours
and then come back to The Wall
on NBC.
- Yeah.
- [Announcer] Coming up.
- [Chris] If you tore up the contract,
you're risking it all for whatever's left on The Wall.
A decision worth more than $600,000.
- A million things were going through my head.
Your dream is to be a dad, and not having you there was
really hard. So the decision I made was to...
(theme music)
- Welcome back to The Wall.
It's time to end the suspense
and find out what Nikki decided.
Let's bring her out.
Nikki, come on out.
- Hello. How's it going?
- Oh, it's going.
- [Chris] It's going.
Before you tell us what you decided,
I'll bring you up to speed.
- You got four questions right.
Which means that if you sign the contract,
it was worth $125,602.
If you tore it up,
you're risking whatever's left on The Wall,
which you don't know.
There's nothing else for me to say.
I'm gonna bring you over here to Jeremiah.
This guy loves you more
than anything in the world.
So just let him know what you did.
- That was nuts.
And not having you there was really hard.
I remember the day the phone rang,
and when you got off the phone,
you told me that we had to sell out.
We had to sell our cows. We lost the lease.
Our hearts were shattered.
And when the contract came,
a million things we're going through my head.
I thought,
Jeremiah's dream is to be a dad.
And I thought this guarantee could not only make you a dad,
but it could buy cattle and our dream could come back.
But then I thought, what if there's millions on The Wall
that could buy a whole ranch
and we could have kids and raise them on the ranch how
we've always wanted.
But that was just the hardest decision I've ever had to
make.
So
after considering everything,
the decision I made was to
tear up the contract.
- Okay, darling,
when we lost the ranch,
like you were the one who said,
I trust you, you'll figure it out.
And you immediately started consoling me. Like,
you're just made different.
And we've had some zeroes in our life and stuff's been tough,
but we've come through everything
and we've learned that
money doesn't have anything to do with being happy.
Nikki, we have $640,000.
You way made the right decision.
- [Chris] $640,398.
This is
life changing.
They played a great game.
The strategy was there,
the answers were there.
They're gonna be able to start the family they want,
the ranch that they want,
and I'm so happy that we got to be a part of their story
here on The Wall today.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope made day a little bit better.
It certainly did for me.
$640,398.
