Default Melbzetec on Channel 9's Temptation

Hi guys and girls.

If you want a laugh, I appear as a contestant on Channel 9's Temptation this coming Wednesday night (June 13)

The bad news: I was shithouse (and knew I was after about 4 questions)
The good news: I am possibly the most successful one night loser in the history of the game!!!

You'll have to watch to know what I mean!

Now THIS is funny! I missed my audition on Wednesday for the show, but am planning to go on it again soon to audition. Free money (if you're more successful than Melbzetec at least).

Looking forward to it mate!

Well done Steve, if you hadn't played the vault, and had taken the pick again option instead of the 2k, you would have won by a country mile! Oh well, eleven and a half grand aint bad! So is $9500 the most anyone has ever won from the vault?

Thanks guys. Yeh, we reckon that $11,500 in one night as the loser must be some sort of record.

Frankly, I was just too slow. I don't think the other two women were much good, and I was just as bad... that's why I took the $2000..because even if I'd won, I reckon I would probably get thrashed the next night.

Mind you, the woman that won (and they were both really nice people) still had not won a single thing after two nights as champion. And she was worried, because she reckoned she was pretty lousy too.

Unfortunately, the money won't be going on mods, but is going on school fees for my two boys. They are both in secondary school now, and going to a really really great school, but the fees are killing me.

And worst of all... "who is Michael Schumachers brother?".... and I didn't answer it!!! An 11 year old kid I know has already rang and told me that is pathetic for a petrol head.

All I can say is, the game is a lot easier when you play it at home!
