Since this is a celebrity edition and the celebs are playing for charities, the Cash-Builder Round starts with $5k and they receive another $5k for each correct answer.
Seamus got 11 of 11 in 60 seconds, for a total of $60k. Dean Cain christens him "The Mini-Beast" for how he played the Cash-Builder Round. He then went 5 for 5 to bank it and qualify for the Final Chase (along with Dean Cain's $40k)
In their Final Chase Round, the pair started with 2, since there were 2 of them competing. In the next (1:24 of 2:00) Dean contributed 4 answers and Seamus contributed 10, with neither giving any wrong answers.
The final 36 seconds went as follows:
36 - Who was the U.S. President the day that man first walked on the moon? Seamus blows his first question by answering "Johnson." (s/b "Nixon")
30 - A caterpillar becomes a butterfly while in what type of protective silk casing? Seamus correctly answers "cocoon."
25 - A hex key is a six-sided tool best know by what trademarked name? Seamus rings in but then blanks and answers "cantaloupe," which Dean Cain had earlier established as his go-to answer instead of "pass." (s/b "Allen Wrench")
17 - The drug codeine is derived from what plant? Seamus correctly answers "the poppy."
12 - What's the only mythological creature among the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac? Dean rings in but answers "cantaloupe." (s/b "dragon")
5 - Every word in Pig Latin rhymes with what vowel? Dean and Seamus thought they were done and didn't pay attention to this question. Brooke repeated it in a little over a second. Seamus responded with "a" just after time had run out.
They finished 18 steps ahead of "The Beast."
During his "chase," the Beast fumbled on 6 questions. I don't recall ever seeing him play that poorly. Of those, Dean provided 2 correct answers, Seamus provided 3 and they both knew the 6th one. In his defense, the Beast knew he was under the gun and provided 2 wrong answers before Brooke had finished the question and a third before he had a chance to digest it.
Time ran out for the Beast at step 14. Contestants WIN!!!11
