Way to copy this word-for-word from the article you linked from. I know GSN's boards allow this to go on...but...you may want to read this (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=3\"), specifically, entry #11.

Someone who wants a seven-figure judgement or settlement, that's who. Can you say, "Oooooooh, deep pockets"?
