The Finish Line was an unsold pilot where contestants got their partner to say an answer by using part of the clue that they were given.

Gameplay[]

First, Kalter would read a statement and then a clue would be given. The contestant would give his or her partner part of the clue. If the partner got the clue right, the team would win 25 points. The first team to reach 150 points won the game.

Bonus Game[]

Out of a big post would come five letters. The contestant would give his/her partner a question with the answer starting with the letter. If the partner was right, the post would display the letter and the team would win $100. If the team could unscramble the 5 letters in 60 seconds, they won $2,500. They could also win $10,000 if they could guess the first five words and unscramble them.

Trivia[]

Two pilots were taped on the same day. The first pilot had all civilian contestants, while the second pilot had celebrity partners (specifically, Anita Gillette and Nipsey Russell).
