Mike and Shana are the contestants for the third episode of The Wall Season 1. The show is hosted by Chris Hardwick, and this week's game has the potential to reward the couple with a grand prize of millions of dollars.
Mike and Shana are a married couple from San Diego and are both veterans of the U.S. Navy. They met while serving together in the Middle East and have been inseparable ever since. Mike and Shana have been dreaming of starting a family, but their military careers have kept them apart. Now that they are out of the service, they are ready to settle down and start a family. Winning big at The Wall would enable them to buy a home, pay off debt and start their family.
The game has three rounds, each with different challenges that Mike and Shana must face. The first round starts with seven balls that need to be dropped down a wall. The balls are color-coded and correspond to cash amounts, with the highest being $250,000. The couple chooses where to drop the balls from, and each ball that lands in a bucket represents their winnings. However, the game has a twist: The balls can easily fall into the 'drop zone,' which reduces the couple's winnings by that amount.
The second round is called Freefall. Mike and Shana are sent to separate booths and must answer a series of multiple-choice questions. They have four choices for each question, and they must select the correct answer before a giant ball falls into one of the numbered slots. Each numbered slot has a different cash amount, so the higher the number, the higher the prize. If they answer correctly, they can move on to a second question and receive more points. However, they only have 60 seconds to answer as many questions as possible, and each incorrect answer results in a 'killer ball' that reduces their total winnings.
The third and final round is called The Final Drop. Mike and Shana each get to drop one final ball down the wall, but they must choose which slot they want to aim for. The final drop can either increase their winnings or reduce it to nothing.
Throughout the game, Chris Hardwick interacts with Mike and Shana, providing them with support and guidance. He also reveals the first few bounced balls so that they can see how much they have won or lost. The emotional moments come when Mike and Shana talk about what the winnings would mean to them. They share their hopes and dreams, which are all tied up in the millions of dollars that The Wall could give them.
As the game progresses, the stakes get higher, and the tension builds. Mike and Shana are playing for a potentially life-changing amount of money, and the outcome is unpredictable. The show keeps viewers on edge as they wait to see if the couple will win the grand prize or leave empty-handed.
The audience gets invested in the contestants and their stories, rooting for them to succeed. The thrill of winning big and the agony of defeat both play out in real-time with every dropped ball. The Wall is a unique and exciting game show, and episode three featuring Mike and Shana is no exception.
