There's no special award at the end of it. 13 00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:37.800 But one of you will retire undefeated, 14 00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:41.240 having taken out eight other players in total to be here. 15 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.120 So...very, very best of luck to you all. 16 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.460 We're gonna get straight into it.

You came in confident. 39 00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.120 But, I'm afraid that is a bar away from you. 40 00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:56.440 Darn. Well, you know... 41 00:01:56.440 --> 00:01:59.000 I do know that's what— the flavours of gin. 42 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.600 So, I know how to play. 43 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:02.740 It was a solid guess.

Not bad. 45 00:02:04.220 --> 00:02:07.360 Would you like Hotels or Numbers? 46 00:02:08.540 --> 00:02:10.580 Whoa, uh... 47 00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:11.940 Numbers.

Yeah, it would be... 50 00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:20.960 ..seven thousand. 51 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.900 Ellen says seven thousand. 52 00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:22.900 Alec, Vanessa: you have a decision to make. 53 00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:25.260 Alec, Vanessa: what do you reckon? 54 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:28.400 Oh, the faces there! 55 00:02:29.260 --> 00:02:31.720 Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna challenge. 151 00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:34.620 Alec has challenged. Ellen, was that a guess? 57 00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:35.660 Yes...! 58 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.740 You're going off sept- and millennium there, presumably. 59 00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:41.520 Yeah, yeah. 60 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.500 It's seven. The answer was wrong. 61 00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:44.500 But that doesn't matter, because they didn't call you on it. 62 00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:48.220 But that doesn't matter, because no one called you on it. 63 00:02:48.220 --> 00:02:51.500 You were confident. Alec, that's another bar gone. 64 00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:53.860 Vanessa, that's a bar gone. 65 00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:57.040 Well, the thing is... the mil is the thousand. 66 00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:58.020 Aight. 67 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:03.180 It sounded like a guess, except it sounded like the right guess. 68 00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:04.840 That's what I was thinking, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 69 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.820 I thought— I thought I might've been right, so... 70 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:11.220 Alec, you are in a precarious position already, I'm afraid. 71 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.340 You can't let a wrong answer get past you, but you also can't give a wrong challenge. 72 00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:18.800 Vanessa, how're you feeling after the first game? 73 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.940 I'm feeling good. I'm very competitive. 74 00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:24.500 But then I also feel bad for not being friendly at the same time. 75 00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:26.140 So you can never win(!) 76 00:03:26.140 --> 00:03:29.220 Would you like Flowers or Body Parts? 77 00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:31.820 I will go with Body Parts. 78 00:03:31.820 --> 00:03:35.140 Alright, which body part is the gland in the human body 79 00:03:35.140 --> 00:03:37.140 in which insulin is produced? 80 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:39.760 That would be the pancreas. 81 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:41.860 Vanessa says pancreas. 82 00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:45.160 Alec, Ellen: how do you feel about that? 83 00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:50.280 I have a feeling... that that... it is right. 84 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.560 I'm not a massive person who knows loads about endocrinology, 85 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.080 but... I just know the word "endocrinology" is related to it. 86 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.040 Yeah, but you do know the word "endocrinology". 87 00:04:01.040 --> 00:02:10.580 Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that's right too. 88 00:02:10.580 --> 00:04:03.000 Uh, Chinese Food, please.

Alec. 96 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.660 You cannot lose this bar of signal if you give the right answer. 97 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:26.720 Good luck to you.

Hmm, do we believe that, Ellen? 116 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.220 Challenge or don't. I'm going to ask for a call or not. 117 00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:33.900 It's up to you, Ellen. I don't know. I don't know. 118 00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:37.520 There's no challenge there. Alec, did you know that answer? 119 00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:39.000 Truthfully, no. 120 00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:44.280 But I—But jiaozi is actually what it is in Mandarin. 121 00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:45.900 I do know that. 122 00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:48.120 Alec, the answer was wrong. 123 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.620 Ah, yes. Ohh! 124 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.440 They could've knocked you out. 125 00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.540 Instead, you got a wrong answer past both of them. 126 00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:58.980 Ellen, you're down to two bars. Vanessa, you're down to one. 127 00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:00.320 Oh no! 128 00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:02.880 It was dim sum. It was dim sum. 129 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:05.360 It's a style of different bites. Dumplings is one of that. 130 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.600 But the translation of "dumpling" is not "touch-heart". 131 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.080 You were in the right area, but literally: dim sum, touch-heart. 132 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:15.880 And Ellen, it is your question. 133 00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:20.600 Would you like Nationalities or Famous Novels? 339 00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:23.140 Twitter, not on the list.

I believe Portuguese. 140 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.320 Ellen says Portuguese. Now... 141 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.980 You're both on one. 142 00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:53.920 If she gets a wrong answer past both of you, you two go to a tiebreak. 143 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.060 But a correct challenge would knock Ellen down to one. 144 00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.760 What do you want to do? 145 00:06:59.760 --> 00:07:03.260 Alec, where's your head at? In the clouds. 146 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.340 Literally(!) 147 00:07:07.580 --> 00:07:10.360 Um, truthfully, I don't know enough 148 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.240 about that sort of history to give a reasonable answer. 149 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.940 But you know what, I'm just gonna challenge it, 150 00:07:15.940 --> 00:02:31.720 because if I don't... I'll be gone anyway. 151 00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:34.620 Alec has challenged. Ellen, was that a guess? 152 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.620 It sounded like a guess. Was it? 153 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:26.460 It was a guess, yes. 154 00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:29.260 But there's only, like, three or four countries to choose from. 155 00:07:29.260 --> 00:07:33.120 I think he could've been Portuguese. And that's why I wasn't really sure. 156 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.260 And he was Portuguese. It was a very, very good guess! 157 00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:40.280 I deserve that for how the first round went. 158 00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:42.000 Alec, congratulations on making it this far, 159 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.000 but that is your last bar of signal gone. 160 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.260 You've been disconnected.

That's it. 171 00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:24.300 There are a few other folks outside in the production gallery, 172 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.720 but that could be anywhere in the world. 173 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.840 Right now, when shows have to be made 174 00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:31.340 while everyone keeps their distance, that's important. 175 00:08:31.340 --> 00:08:33.280 If you don't want just a televised video call— 176 00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:36.880 and let's face it, the world is very tired of televised video calls— 177 00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:41.560 then this SmartStage and disguise's xR pipeline is a brilliant solution. 178 00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:43.840 And if you'd rather the stage go to the talent... 179 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:49.000 Well, White Light are used to delivering enormous live shows in arenas and stadiums. 180 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.540 One of these stages can get packed up, set up in a truck, 181 00:08:52.540 --> 00:08:54.940 and sent to anywhere that there's power. 182 00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:57.380 Broadcasts, presentations, education... 183 00:08:57.380 --> 00:09:01.160 Anywhere that you can get a shipping container, you can get one of these stages. 184 00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:04.460 So, thank you to White Light and disguise for helping pull all this together. 185 00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:06.640 There are links to all of them in the description. 186 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:09.340 I'm so grateful.

You have made it 188 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:17.480 to the final round of the Champion of Champions. 189 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.480 One of you will be getting disconnected, 190 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:24.420 but the other will have defeated eight other players to make it to the end. 191 00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:26.880 So, very best of luck to both of you. 192 00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:28.820 I realise that wishing best of luck to both of you 193 00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:30.420 does absolutely nothing at all. 194 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.840 I'm very nervous. I'm so nervous! 195 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.220 Imagine if you were playing for money or something. 196 00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:39.180 How nervous you would be! I know! I'd be hopeless! 197 00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:43.440 Ellen, you struck the killing blow there, so you're gonna be going first. 198 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.080 You both know how it works. We're looking for things in a category. 199 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:47.700 Challenge if you think there's a wrong answer. 200 00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:50.980 There is no penalty for letting a wrong answer slip past you here, 201 00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:53.280 other than it makes your job harder. 202 00:09:53.280 --> 00:10:00.400 Ellen, we are looking for the 100 most followed individuals on Twitter. 203 00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:04.260 So, just to clarify that, we're looking for the hundred individuals 204 00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.640 whose dedicated Twitter accounts have the most followers. 205 00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:09.440 So, no brands, no abstract concepts. 206 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.720 We just need their usual names. We don't need their usernames. 207 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.240 Barack Obama. 208 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.600 Ellen says Barack Obama. Vanessa? 209 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.040 Donald Trump. 210 00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:21.660 Donald Trump. We're starting with our presidents. 211 00:10:29.380 --> 00:10:31.700 That is a sceptical face. Challenge... 212 00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:21.660 Alright, straight away 313 00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:23.680 Ellen? 214 00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:25.460 Lin-Manuel Miranda. 215 00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:28.880 Lin-Manuel Miranda. Vanessa? 216 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.840 I mean, yes: Barack Obama, Donald Trump, both good answers. 217 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.580 Why did you go for Lin-Manuel? 218 00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:44.720 I-I think 'cause of the political thing in Hamilton. 219 00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.920 But, um... I follow him. 220 00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:49.960 I don't really look at follower numbers a lot. 221 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.180 He gets a lot of engagement, and that kind of gives me an idea 222 00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:55.000 of how many followers he would probably have. 223 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.280 I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the 100 list. 224 00:10:58.280 --> 00:11:01.040 I just thought, there's, like, so many other people 225 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.720 that would probably have more followers than him. 226 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.040 So, that is a formal challenge from Vanessa. 227 00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:10.220 I'll tell you this: Barack Obama, Donald Trump, both good answers. 228 00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:14.120 Lin-Manuel Miranda... not on the list. 229 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.660 Ellen, that was a wrong answer. Vanessa, that was a correct challenge. 230 00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:21.180 Ellen, you're down to one bar. 231 00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:22.920 I should've said a Kardashian! 232 00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:24.960 You should! They're all on there! 233 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.740 They're all on there. It's an endless pit of names! 234 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:34.400 Follower numbers and talent don't have the strongest relationship sometimes. 235 00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:40.460 Bill Gates is on there. Ellen DeGeneres, Ed Sheeran, 236 00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:42.760 Khloé, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian, 237 00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:45.500 and Kanye West as well would've been on there. 238 00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:49.160 Katy Perry, LeBron James, not Lin-Manuel Miranda. 239 00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:52.840 Unlucky, but there's still a chance. 240 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.840 Vanessa, you're kicking off this list. 241 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.180 And we are looking for Best Picture Oscar winners. 242 00:11:58.180 --> 00:12:00.620 So, this is any film that has won the award for Best Picture 243 00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:03.140 or equivalent, if it was called something else in that year. 244 00:12:03.140 --> 00:12:05.640 We are looking for the award for the best film. 245 00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:09.300 Vanessa, it's you to start. Okay. 246 00:12:12.780 --> 00:12:15.640 I'm gonna start with Green Book. 247 00:12:15.640 --> 00:12:18.460 Vanessa says Green Book. Ellen? 248 00:12:19.520 --> 00:12:21.120 The Shape of Water. 249 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.340 Spotlight. 250 00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:29.680 Sorry, you are the definition of a side-eye emoji at that moment. 251 00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:30.860 Like, that was... 252 00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:33.240 I'm sorry, I was just thinking! 253 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.140 That was this incredibly sceptical look. That was wonderful! 254 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:41.960 Titanic. 255 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.580 Titanic, says Ellen. A nod from Vanessa. 256 00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:50.960 La La Land. 257 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.740 La La Land. Challenge. 258 00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:55.220 Ooh! That was quick. 259 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.980 Ellen, why do you challenge? 260 00:12:57.980 --> 00:13:00.660 They didn't win Best Picture. 261 00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:03.020 They were mistakenly given Best Picture, 262 00:13:03.020 --> 00:13:05.280 and then it went to Moonlight, I believe, 263 00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:07.040 which is why I'm a bit confused about Spotlight. 264 00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:09.020 I think that might also have been a fake one. 265 00:13:09.020 --> 00:13:11.160 But yeah, it wasn't La La Land. 266 00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:13.960 I'm pretty sure Spotlight is right, I-I think. 267 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.920 But I can't remember the outcome of La La Land and Moonlight. 268 00:13:18.920 --> 00:13:20.780 I think it could've been the other way around. 269 00:13:20.780 --> 00:13:22.020 Spotlight is correct. 270 00:13:22.020 --> 00:13:25.360 Titanic, Green Book, Shape of Water, all correct. 271 00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:30.740 Ellen, your memory of that Oscar ceremony... 272 00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:33.080 ..is correct. 273 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:34.140 Yes! Damn it! 274 00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:37.080 You were correct to challenge. Vanessa, it did go to Moonlight. 275 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.720 It wasn't La La Land, so that's a bar away from you. 276 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:44.940 And the Champion of Champions comes down to the final list. 277 00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:46.420 Wow... 278 00:13:46.420 --> 00:13:47.800 I watched that one live, 279 00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:50.520 and my jaw hit the floor when that happened! 280 00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:56.820 We are looking for the 100 most valuable brands. 281 00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:01.000 So, these are corporate or product brands with the highest revenue, 282 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.200 before interest and taxes, according to Forbes in 2019. 283 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.620 They do have to have some sort of presence in the US. 284 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:10.040 So this excludes Vodafone and Alibaba. 285 00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:12.760 But other than that, it's pretty much anything you're gonna recognize. 286 00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:16.000 Ellen, we're gonna start with you. Good luck. 287 00:14:16.780 --> 00:14:18.240 Apple. 288 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.660 Ellen says Apple.
