You have one goal here.
What is that goal? Knock him out.
(Chuckles) - You ready? - Yes.
Then let's play 500 Questions.

And three categories you've not tickled.
Yeah.
Um I'm gonna go ahead and go to Random, 'cause now's as good a time as any.
It's Random.
Why not? The question on Random.

- Oh! James, step into play.
(Cheers and applause) (Grunts) (Laughs) - Did that frighten you? - No.
(Laughter) Gentlemen, prepare for battle.
There are multiple answers to this question.
You have five seconds to answer, but it's the first answer, the only one that I can accept.

Too late.
Yeah.
Here are the answers.
You could've gone for Walgreens, CVS - Amazon? - Amazon.
That's not where I was going at all, yeah.
And Safeway.
That's a battle lost.
Mm-hmm.
You have a wrong on the board.
And you're going for question 70 to get rid of the wrong.
Yeah, I've kind of been looking at Historic Ships for this moment, so I'll go there.
Oh, whoa.
With a wrong on the board.
Yeah.
Are you telling us something about your knowledge of historical ships? Maybe.
(Chuckles) (Laughter) - Quest: Keep watching.
- I will.
The question on Historic Ships.
10 seconds.
Um The I don't know.
The Revenge.
The, uh I-I don't know.
Um Yeah, I really don't have much to say here.
Sorry.
Two wrongs.
All right.
You get bragging rights only if you know the answer.
HMS Bounty.
Yes.
That's good.
Okay.
Steve.
Yeah.
You have two wrong answers on the board, and that means that James gets to choose the next category.
He's going to try to knock you out so that he can take your place.
Remember, if you get your next answer wrong, it will be three wrong in a row, and you'll be - Gone.
- All: Gone! James, before you choose the category, I want you to talk me through your thinking for where you're gonna go.
Footwear bit me last time.
Uh, Random could be anything, of course.
He seems I don't know.
There's three categories he's batting zero on, so Uh, I think I will send him to - World Holidays.
- World Holidays.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
To be clear, you are now playing to stay in 500 Questions.
Yes, I am.
- Do you understand? - Absolutely.
Let's have the question.
10 seconds.
Esther, Ruth, Rachel (Ding) Yes! Get rid of the wrongs! Give him $1,000.
(Cheers and applause) They'd have fired me as the Divinity Liaison if I'd have missed that one.
Yeah, absolutely.
(Chuckles) Well, I suppose you had to go on the evidence you had.
But you must be kicking yourself somewhat.
It's bad luck.
He clearly didn't know.
He was rattling off, like, 10 names.
I was making sure it wasn't anyone other than that.
Oh, okay.
There will be other opportunities.
Yeah.
No wrongs on the board.
$9,000 at play.
And we'll take your next question.
All right.
Um, I will have a Footwear.
I'll give up the ghost on that one.
Footwear.
$1,000 if it's the first answer.
10 seconds on the clock.
The question is 10 seconds.
I have no idea.
Guess! I don't have a guess.
Uh, Garibaldi.
I have no clue whatsoever.
I have nothing to say.
I'm sorry.
Aah! I'm not even sure I will have heard of this when you reveal it.
The correct answer was Capezio.
(Laughs) You do realize as a gambler that if you had sent him to Footwear instead of World Holidays, you'd be on this side.
(Laughter) James, keep watching very closely because I only have two eyes.
There's too many categories to pay attention to.
I got four, so (Laughter) (Cheers and applause) You have one wrong on the board.
Yeah.
And you've got there's one category you've not opened up, but you need to get rid of that.
U.
N.
's no longer available to you.
So, where would you like to try? I think I will have World Holidays here.
World Holidays.
50/50 for the oh.
James: Ooh.
James.
Step into play.
(Cheers and applause) Gentlemen, prepare for battle.
Are you going to lead or follow? I'll keep leading.
Let's just remind ourselves.
It's quite critical, this, because if you lose this one, then it'll be two wrongs in a row.

Yes.
(Chuckles) But you still got two questions to play.
Yeah.
If you get them wrong, you will carry those wrongs over to your next 50.
That will give your new opponent an advantage over you right from the get go.
Which one? If I get it wrong, I want to erase it.
I like these Opera questions.

However, if you do not get it right, then, of course, you will have two wrongs.
Any wrongs that you get, you take into your next round.
Yes, sir.
And you want to try as best you can to have a clean slate for a new challenger.

However, none of this will count for anything unless you manage to get rid of Steve.
Yes.
- Can you do it? - Yes, I can.

All right.
You get bragging rights only if you know the answer.
HMS Bounty.
Yes.
That's good.
Okay.
Steve.
Yeah.
You have two wrong answers on the board, and that means that James gets to choose the next category.
He's going to try to knock you out so that he can take your place.
Remember, if you get your next answer wrong, it will be three wrong in a row, and you'll be - Gone.
- All: Gone! James, before you choose the category, I want you to talk me through your thinking for where you're gonna go.
Footwear bit me last time.
Uh, Random could be anything, of course.
He seems I don't know.
There's three categories he's batting zero on, so Uh, I think I will send him to - World Holidays.
- World Holidays.
- Steve.
- Yeah.
To be clear, you are now playing to stay in 500 Questions.
Yes, I am.
- Do you understand? - Absolutely.
Let's have the question.

But you must be kicking yourself somewhat.
It's bad luck.
He clearly didn't know.
He was rattling off, like, 10 names.
I was making sure it wasn't anyone other than that.
Oh, okay.
There will be other opportunities.
Yeah.
No wrongs on the board.
$9,000 at play.
And we'll take your next question.
All right.
Um, I will have a Footwear.
I'll give up the ghost on that one.
Footwear.
$1,000 if it's the first answer.
10 seconds on the clock.
The question is 10 seconds.
I have no idea.
Guess! I don't have a guess.
Uh, Garibaldi.
I have no clue whatsoever.
I have nothing to say.
I'm sorry.
Aah! I'm not even sure I will have heard of this when you reveal it.
The correct answer was Capezio.
(Laughs) You do realize as a gambler that if you had sent him to Footwear instead of World Holidays, you'd be on this side.
(Laughter) James, keep watching very closely because I only have two eyes.
There's too many categories to pay attention to.
I got four, so (Laughter) (Cheers and applause) You have one wrong on the board.
Yeah.
And you've got there's one category you've not opened up, but you need to get rid of that.
U.

Yes.
(Chuckles) But you still got two questions to play.
Yeah.
If you get them wrong, you will carry those wrongs over to your next 50.
That will give your new opponent an advantage over you right from the get go.
Which one? If I get it wrong, I want to erase it.
I like these Opera questions.
