Line 6:
Following the Instant Bargain was the Fame Game, but this wasn't your mother's Fame Game (or, for that matter, anything decent) — while the "Who am I?" clues remained, the solution was revealed much like a Toss-Up on ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]''; a correct answer won a flat T$15. The commercial bumpers promoted special offers, read by announcer Rolonda Watts.
 
The game then continued with "Knock-Off", a wholesale ripoff of ''[[Wipeout 1988 (TV)|Wipeout]]'' despite the whole "not owned by [[Fremantle Media]]" thing. A category was given, with 12 possible answers — nine right (for amounts of T$2, T$5, T$10, or T$15), three wrong (which Rossi compared to knock-off handbags or jewelry).

* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Instant Bargain and Instant Cash. Knock-Off was a knock-off of ''Wipeout''; Super Knock-Off was a rip-off of ''Wipeout'''s bonus round, or at least the giving of a category and the correct/incorrect answer layout.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Quite a few, including Mark Coyle, got handed this during the run.
* [[In Name Only]]: ''The New "Sale Of The Century"''. Sure...
