Applause and cheers from the audience.

"This is it ladies and gentleman, this is the one, the biggest show of the year, the one we've all been waiting for. Yes, it's the final! The moment of truth is fast approaching for our teams. Who is going to be triumphant ? Who is going to go that extra mile give that little bit more and walk away with it all? By the end of tonight we will have answers to all those questions and to some we haven't thought to ask yet. Or is it we just haven't dared to? Why not tell us what you think. This reality television is real, and this is real TV, real people, real lives, 360 vision 24/7. With a global audience of one point five billion people. And we love you all, and that perfect sound perfect vision is brought to you by our sponsors OmniCam...Whatever you see we see there's no escape from our prying eyes.

We never miss a moment of the actions and reactions and consequences that befall our contestants.We started with twelve teams, now we are down to the final two teams who are
going to give us everything they have. $20,000,000 is on the line tonight. Whoever completes our challenge first is the winner. But hey knowing this game if just one competitor finishes that will be enough to win the prize and be named Globetrotters. And what a show we have for you tonight and what a challenge we have for our last two teams. This one is really going to put them to the test, we'll see how far these guys are willing to go for all the money, all the fame. The gloves are off. Were they ever really on? I know what I think. Do you?
And what about last weeks show? Didn't that throw up some surprises? Two teams eliminated.And from those two teams we lost one contestant drowned and three taken into custody by the Australians. And because it's such a special show tonight we are joined in the studio by Sarah and Tommy who are out of hospital and what a surprise we have, live from their hospital beds and just released by their kidnappers are Bill and Stacey, but thats not all folks we have a few more surprises in store for you when we catch up with some of our other previous contestants."

Applause and cheers from the audience. Walks over to Sarah and Tommy. Shakes hands with him and kisses her.

"Sarah and Tommy how are you guys feeling? It must be hard for you knowing this is the final and that it was illness that got you eliminated."

Tommy
"We're just fine thank you Johnny, just gutted that we aren't in the final we would have made it we would have been there. I can't wait to see what the challenge is going to be and more importantly how the teams are going to handle it."

Sarah
"That's right we would have made it except for getting Malaria, we'll be back again I promise you that. But I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish the teams left all the best. They've all played the game the way it's meant to be played."

Johnny Paradis'
"Its great to see you both up and around You're both looking really well."

Johnny walks over to the video screen. We see the hospital room on the screen before it cuts to a hospital room Bill and Stacey in beds hooked up to drips the machine that goes ping etc. Applause and cheers from the audience.

Johnny Paradis'
"Bill and Stacey welcome home! How are you guys holding up? I'm guessing that you are happy to be back home."

Bill
"We're so glad to be back home, I really can't put it into words that really was an adventure Johnny, that really was. At the moment we just need a few days to recover. Glad to be getting some decent food after two months of well eating something that looked like the dog threw it up."

Stacey
"Didn't taste much better either, but like dad said we're both overjoyed to be home and I'm feeling a little sad we aren't in the final but I'm excited to see who is going to win."

Johnny Paradis'
"That really was an adventure you went on. We'll be crossing back to you guys later.Now, normally at this point in the show we recap what happened last week, as if anyone could forget, but tonight this being the final we are going to give that a miss, but don't worry on next weeks show we'll be going back through all the highlights from this series and do we have some highlights. However, before we go any further though we do have an apology to make last week two boats filled with illegal immigrants landed on Australian soil and we did say we would inform the authorities so they could be picked up. Well, in all the excitement we forgot. Our bad I know. We did eventually remember and after four days on the beach they were picked up, the majority of them were anyway. We'll be sending all of the survivors a Globetrotters gift pack. Its just our way of saying sorry we left you there with no food or water. Enjoy all the goodies in the pack. And viewers you can purchase the same gift packs on line, they make the ideal Christmas or birthday present. And now onto tonights show which is something special and I mean really, really special.It's especially exciting! We've saved the best until last. Now we've already caught up with some of our eliminated contestants but look who else we have a chance to talk tonight. Something that took quite a lot of work to pull off. You'll never guess what it is. Should I tell? Do you really want to know? Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls two of our most popular contestants of all time all the way from death row in the Sudan we have Adam and Simon!"

Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to a prison cell, what one imagines a prison cell in the Sudan would look like two unshaven young men in the cell talking into an ipad. A guard has another ipad filming the men.

Adam
"Johnny we are so excited to be back on TV with you on the final, it's a real privilege. I can't wait to see how this unfolds."

Simon
"We sure are, I'd just like to say hi to everyone back home. Thanks for all your support."

Johnny Paradis'
"Its great to have you guys back live with us. So how are things in the sensational, sultry, seductive Sudan?"

Simon
"Well, we got the verdict today in our trial and it wasn't what we were hoping to hear, I'm sorry to say we were found guilty."

Johnny Paradis'
"Oh that's just too bad I hope you can appeal."

Adam
"Oh we'll be appealing ok, but if that goes against us we'd like to auction off the rights to the executions to the highest bidder, no reason we can't turn this situation to our advantage. Fame and money Johnny fame and money!"

Applause and cheers from the audience.

Johnny Paradis'
"That's what we love about you guys always looking at the positive, always trying to turn the situation to your advantage. If there is an angle in there you are the men to find it, you can see why these guys were chosen for Globetrotters can't you? Aren't they just great? Gentlemen I salute you. What an example to the youth of the world you are kids if you're looking for a role model you won't do much better than these two fine young men."
Applause and cheers from the audience.

Simon
"Thank-you Johnny I can't tell you how much that means to us. And we also want to sell our story about our time on Globetrotters now that we can contact the outside world. We feel we have so much to tell so much to give."

Johnny Paradis'
"And on that note that's all down to our good friends at Extreme Tourism. There isn't a place on the globe where they don't go."

Simon
"We couldn't believe it when their local reps walked in and spoke to us. They were so kind. And it was so nice to see a nice smiling friendly face."

Johnny Paradis'
"That's what makes them so special Simon. They go to places where special forces fear to tread. We'll catch up with you guys a little later on. And of course lets not forget about Jack and Brian and Katherine. They didn't make it through last week but they did better than Derrick. Lets have a moments silence for Derrick...Well thats a moment. Hi guys how are you all? Hope you are enjoying Australia?"

Goes back to the video screen. Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to a detention centre interview room. White walls, laminated table. Two guards stand in the background.

Brian
"Hi Johnny"

Katherine
"Good to see you."

Jack.
"Hope you're well, we're still here Johnny."

Johnny Paradis'
"Brian and Jack so close and yet so far. How have you been coping with the disappointment of your elimination?"

Brian
"We were so unlucky Johnny, wrong place wrong time and we got caught. We're dealing with it ok well speaking for myself I feel I am. And when you compare where we are to Adam and Simon it kind of puts it all into perspective. I think they are an inspiration after hearing of their plans its given me the motivation to turn this into a positive for myself and my profile."

Johnny Paradis'
"Thats very admirable Brian. And thats what great about this show not only does it inspire you our loyal audience to be better people but our contestants inspire each other. Jack
you've been through quite a bit how do you feel?"

Jack
"I feel doubly cheated once by, well I won't even say her name and then well my luck just ran out. Theres no justice is there I mean Kurt and Lucy should have been caught. But thats the way things go I suppose."

Katherine
"Oh you two have had it so tough, I nearly drowned and Derrick well he didn't make it and they still haven't got his body...."

Jack
"This is all we've heard it's me, me, me with her all the time. Get over it will you."

Katherine
"He was my partner for fucks sake you insensitive...."

Brian
"And this is all I've heard for days, these are two very bitter people, very self centred, I can't wait to get away from the pair of them."

Johnny Paradis'
"Well, well, well seems like things aren't all that happy on, just wait for the name of this place where they are being held, Christmas Island. Can you believe it? Isn't that something? Is it Christmas day there all day every day?"

Jack
"Funny name hey Johnny and this place is so hot. Nothing like where Santa comes from ha,ha but seriously everyone here has been really nice to us all the guards want pictures with us.
They bring their kids in to meet us. Why some of them are even bringing us in home cooked meals. Being a celebrity is just great."

Brian
"Yeah its true, the locals come down to the fence and have a chat, film us, get us to sign autographs it's been really great to be made to feel so welcome and popular here can't wait to get back home and really milk this for all it's worth."

Katherine
"Thats so true everyone here has been so kind to me in my time of loss...."

Jack
"Enough about Derrick, he's dead, gone, not coming back, we're all tired of hearing about him from you day and night. Just give it a rest will you."

Katherine
"Well I'm not listening to either of them, I'm going to start a memorial blog and Facebook page for Derrick and some footage I've got of us I want to put on youtube make a kind of documentary about his life, show the world what a wonderful man he really was."

Johnny Paradis'
"Just remember any footage of you and Derrick on the show remains Globetrotters property and can't just be used without permission fines for individuals and corporations do apply. We do have to protect our image and good name you know, but good luck with that Katherine. Derrick will always remain with us which is more than can be said about his remains which haven't been found yet I'd avoid the fish if I were you who knows what they've been dining on ha,ha,ha,ha. But seriously who do you think is going to win?"

Jack
"I want Kurt and Lucy to win Johnny."

Johnny Paradis'
"Really after what she did to you, you still want her to win?"

Jack
"Oh yes we're still married but we'll be getting divorced as soon as we can and I'm going to take her for every penny I can get that's why I want her to win just so I can take half her money."

Johnny Paradis'
"Method behind the madness Jack I like that I really do. Why you're a man after my own heart. We'll be cutting back to all our eliminated contestants throughout the show. Whats are catch phrase folks?"

All the contestants images are on the large video screen.They all shout together.
"NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE!"

Johnny Paradis'
"SAY IT AGAIN PEOPLE LET ME HEAR YOU!"

They all shout together.
"NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE! NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE! NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE!"



Applause and cheers from the audience
