With enough time all the civilias gone, the celebrities hosted a ""Charity Chain Reaction"" game in one celebrity led to another. Literally. Joyce Beaulifant and Betty White gave a question to Ron Silver, landing $100 for charity, but then everybody took a step left.

After rerunning the original series, USA revives Bob Stewart's old game. The New Chain Reaction starts up from the studios of CFCF in Montréal. No more celebrities, and it's all Canadian money.
