I am not good at rugby because I have no idea what those terms are, so I have to Phone-A-Friend on this one.

Okay, you'd like to Phone-A-Friend... You have the choice of either @paolo16gula or futuregshost. Who do you think will know this one?

Okay, we'll try and get @paolo16gula on the line, and then he'll have up to 48 hours to give you some advice. Hopefully he'll be able to help you up to £30,000. *Q8 Background stops, PAF Start plays* *Ring, Ring* *Ring, Ring* *Ring, Ri-* @paolo16gula: Hello? millionaireloveruk: Hi, is this Paul G.? Paul G: Yeah, it is, who's this? MLUK: millionaireloveruk calling from 'Who Wants To Be A Super Millionaire?'! Paul G: Oh, hi! MLUK: We've got your friend, JCEurovision here, and he's doing okay but he's stuck on a question and he think you might know the answer. Paul G: Well, I'll try, see if I know it. MLUK: Right, the next thing you hear will be a question, there are still 4 possible answers, one of them's worth £30,000, okay? Paul G: Okay, let's go. MLUK: I wish you both the best of luck, your time starts... Now! *PAF Clock Starts* In a game of rugby, a player dropping the ball forwards and then immediately regaining possession of it has what name? A: Forward pass B: Knock on C: Break down D: Grubber

*sighs* I can only guess on that one. But I'd say it's A, only because it's the only term that I've heard of in a game of rugby. And AFAIK, and I'm not sure if this rule still applies to it since I don't follow rugby at all, that passing the ball forwards in the game isn't allowed. So I'd say A, but I'm only 10% sure.

*PAF End Early plays, Q8 Background music starts again* Okay... Well, JCEurovision, Paul said he's only 10% sure that it's called a forward pass... Which actually means that he's 90% that it isn't A... *Audience laugh* Yeah, thanks Paul... *They laugh again* I'm joking, of course, but he really did not sound sure at all. You can still go 50:50 if you want to, or you can walk away with £20,000, or you can give me an answer, it's your call.

Well, I have to use 50:50 on this one since I don't know.

Okay... Using your last lifeline. Computer, please take away 2 random wrong answers, leaving JCEurovision with the correct answer, and one remaining wrong answer. *50:50 SFX plays* In a game of rugby, a player dropping the ball forwards and then immediately regaining possession of it has what name?
B: Knock on
D: Grubber
Well we know that your friends guess of A isn't the correct answer, but either Knock on or Grubber is worth £30,000 to you. Take your time, but you've used all your lifelines up, so now you're all on your own. You can either give me an answer, or walk with your £20,000.

Well, I have no choice but to guess, since I have absolutely no idea on this one. B: knock on, final.

*Q8 Final Answer Plays* You had £20,000... You used your Phone-A-Friend, which didn't really help... Your 50:50 was also burned to help you get to an answer, which was a guess at B: Knock on... JCEurovision... You've just won thirty grand, it's right! *Q8 Win plays, audience both sigh in relief and cheer* *Q9 Lights Down plays* Wow! That was certainly a lucky guess! Yeah, basically a knock on is when the player with possession drops the ball forwards and then tries to reclaim it, which results in a penalty. A break down is literally when the players in a scrum fall down onto the floor, breaking it, a grubber is a way of kicking the ball, and a forward pass is basically what it says on the tin, although Paul G. was right, it is an illegal thing to do. Well that certainly was stressful for me, I don't know what you could be feeling like right now! *Audience laugh* Seriously though, are you feeling a bit nervous after that one?

Yes. I don't know rugby since I am from the Philippines and it is not my cup of tea.

Is rugby not popular in the Philippines? Well, I didn't know that. Okay, you're doing quite well here. You currently have £30,000, but you're just 7 questions away from winning £10,000,000. You have, however, used all of your lifelines for the time being, so if want to get to the next dimension, you're on your own, unfortunately. The next question is worth £50,000, if you get it right, but a wrong answer will cost you £25,000 of the £30,000 you have at this moment. Please, please do not let that happen. Question 9 of 15 is this, take your time: *Q9 Background plays* (NOTE: All question graphics used until next Monday were made by 97thparallel , and were made available publicly on this site.)

Venice, Bologna, and Florence were all trading centers of Renaissance but at an English play about two star-crossed lovers, I think da Vinci can have a serious problem. Mantua, I never heard of it, but I know I watched some parts of that on YouTube, you know, the BBC drama version of that play, and I don't see gondolas there, so rule out Venice. I don't see any Medici-style markets, so rule out Florence. Bologna sounds pretty off because who can listen to a play set in a weird named city? Mantua, I think Montagues lived there, so lock in C: Mantua, final.

*Q9 Final Plays* You were right to rule out Venice, it isn't there... You were also right to rule out Florence. So the answer to this question is either Bologna or Mantua. You had no lifelines, but you could have walked out of here with £30,000... However, you've decided to play for £50,000 instead. JCEurovision . You had £30,000. You no longer have £30,000... You now have... ... ... ... Fifty thousand pounds! Mantua is the right answer! *Q9 Win plays, audience cheers loudly* *Q10 Lights Down plays, set turns blue.* Romeo and Juliet is mainly set "In fair Verona, where we lay our scene," and of course is about the story of "Two households, both alike in dignity,". There's quite a bit of murder and death really, and "...civil blood makes civil hands unclean.", but throughout all of this, "A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;", and "Do with their death bury their parents' strife.". This is what GCSE English Literature does to you, folks... *Audience laugh* Now, you said that you thought the Montague family came from Mantua, actually both the Montagues and the Capulets come from Verona, but Mantua is the city Romeo is banished to after he kills Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. Right, Shakespeare aside for now, back to the game. Get this next question right, and not only will you be guaranteed a very nice £100,000 sum, but you'll also earn our two other lifelines, which of course are the Two Wise Men, and Double Dip. However, we're not there yet, and this question carries a huge risk, 90% of the £50,000 you currently have. You can walk if you want to, and remember, the 3 lifelines are gone. This is question 10, it's worth a guaranteed £100,000. Good luck, here it comes: *Q10 Background music plays*

The only two I know were Oxford and Cambridge. Oxford was existed way before 17th century, but I highly doubt it was not because no, Oxford wasn't existed yet. So, out of these four, Cambridge seems logical because it was there. It was really there. So, lock in D: Cambridge, final.
