#Applauses#

Wow, this is tough.
These are the percentage between your score and your match opponent's. But we still don't know who got the more score.
But, only one contestant in each match will advance to the next round.

So, show us the money.

This round offer is $10,000.

If you think you got less score than your opponent, and you think you won't win. Then take this money and sit down, let your opponent advances to Semifinals. But that means

you're going to throw away your chance of $1,000,000.

But if you both decline this offer, the final score will decide who will go to the Semifinals, and who will go home empty-handed.

Think wisely, you have until (expired on 2015-04-05 20:00:00) to decide if you want to take the offer.

Accept this offer by post

ACCEPT

in bold. Only you or your opponent can accept the offer.

[JDGA]

Ahahahahaha that's hilarious. So much for a confident category...

[McMenno]

wow I really screwed up. Or did I? I dunno really. Will think about it.

[xofelf]

huh, either way i did better than i thought.

[Axxle]

Hmmm... tough one.

[Blackberry]

Good luck JellyBean!

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

You too Blackberry!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Remember, if you don't want to take the offer, just stay still.
If you want to take the offer post

ACCEPT

in bold.
There's still a plenty of time.

[McMenno]

I think I answered last, so I didn't get that one point... I won't accept.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Time's running up.
Remember, you would like to take this money if you're not really sure you would win.-
Just 90 minutes left. After the deadline, that means you decline this offer.
Ask yourself: Do you win?

Ps. Right NOW, The Winner Is is having the 2nd season premiere in Thailand!!!

[JDGA]

ACCEPT

I thiiiink I'm just going to take the money and run on this.

[Tatsuya Kaname]
