Should The Buried Lifers Have Stopped Betting At $250,000?

Posted 11/29/10 11:00 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in The Buried Life, Top TV Shows


After valiantly migrating throughout the country, it was fitting that "The Buried Life" boys wanted to close out the season with a massively difficult task (No. 75--Make a Million Dollars). To get started, they accepted a $100,000 sponsorship deal from Pizza Hut, split up the money between themselves and set out to make major financial moves. Duncan came the closest (he made $90,000 $140,000 playing the stock market with Jim Cramer), but they still weren't ready to call it quits. The foursome grabbed their remaining money and headed to a roulette table in Las Vegas. After one spin they were up to $250,000, but they lost it all on the next run.

Even though the guys failed to cross this one off the list, they managed to turn things around in the end. With a gracious donation from the owner of the Golden Gate Casino (and some hidden cash from Duncan), The Buried Lifers connected with a young student and contributed $100,000 to the World Food Programme!

+ Duncan and Ben are determined to eventually complete No. 75 so you're gonna have to keep your eyes peeled to find out if they get another opportunity (We want a third season!). In the meantime, tell us if you think they should have walked away after winning 250k or kept playing (and losing) like they did. You can't say it wasn't a ballsy move!
