Jim Carrey, Russell Crowe or Matt Damon. Who starred in the 2001 movie "The Majestic"?
Doug: Will.
Will: Russell Crowe.
Doug: No -- Jim Carrey starred in that movie. And that means Eddie earns a free roll of the dice. Eddie, you know this by now. For those who don't, we'll take the sum of the roll, multiply it by CY$100 and seed the pot with that much moolah.

|
Doug: Four and a three for CY$700. Now, Eddie, as you know, any 7 outside of the free roll results in a bust -- meaning everything in the pot goes bye-bye and you score nothing for the round.
Also going forward, the double decision board is active.
Doug: Those screens hide big and small additions to the pots, surprises and, unfortunately, a bust -- which is just as bad as rolling a 7.
Eddie, as you know, you may bank the CY$700 right now and we start a new round -- or you may roll again and try to build up the pot.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Hope that got the red out. Let's roll 'em!
|
|
Doug: Rats -- a 2 and a 5. I'm not sure if adding Visine to the dice pips is allowed. (a few laughs from the crowd) Well, in any event, no score for the round. Round 2 starting now. You're both back in on this question.
Las Vegas, Reno or Carson City. In a 2011 list from U.S. News & World Report, which of these Nevada cities ranked among the top three drunkest cities in America?
Doug: Will.
Will: Las Vegas.
Doug: Couple of my co-workers went to Vegas just within the last month -- and they can make a case for Vegas based on what they saw. But Reno is the right answer.
Eddie: I guess what happens in Reno doesn't stay in Reno, eh?
Doug: I suppose. In any event, Eddie, that means another free roll for you.
|
|
Doug: And a better start -- 3 and 6 for CY$900. Bank the nine bills or roll for more thrills?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Well, maybe now we're out of the red. Let's roll'em...
|
|
|
Doug: And a 6 and 2 nearly double the pot. You're up to CY$1700. Bank 'em or roll 'em?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: OK, once more...
|
|
|
|
Doug: Oh, Eddie -- a 2 and a 5 bust you out again. Will didn't mind that at all. We're still scoreless as we start Round 3 with this question.
Manila is a certain country's capital city. Now, to spell the country's name correctly, do you need two consecutive L's?
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: Nope -- two consecutive p's but just one l.
Doug: He's right and all over it. (audience applause) The Republic of the Philippines, or just simply The Philippines, is not spelled with a double L. Eddie, maybe the third round's the charm.

|
|
(mixed reaction from the crowd)
Doug: Then again -- with this 5 and 2, maybe the dice are trying to tell you something. Now you can't bust on a free roll, as you know, so we have seeded the pot with CY$700. What'cha think -- go for more bread or quit while you're ahead?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Oh, let's roll'em again.
|
|
|
Doug: Eddie -- a 6 and 1 have busted you out. This is the fifth roll of a 7 this game -- two of 'em free rolls, the others busts.
Well -- Round 4. The only person in the building liking this scoreless tie is our accoutant.
Sam (from outside his office): I heard that!
Doug: Moving on. New toss-up question.
The University of Arkansas, the University of Mississippi or the University of Alabama. Which university's home football games feature halftime entertainment from the Million Dollar Band?
Doug: Will.
Will: Alabama.
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) All right, the dice are hot for you for the first time in the game. Take your free roll, please.
|
|
|
|
(mixed reaction from the crowd)
Doug: And -- what do you know? A 2 and a 5. But it's a free roll. You cannot bust on free rolls, Will. We've seeded a new pot with CY$700. You may roll again if you like, Will. Just know the next 7 in this round forfeits everything in said pot.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Will: You know what, Doug. The odds are same this roll as they were last time, so I'm going to roll again. Come on, yo!
|
|
|
Doug: And it's a 6 and a 3. Pot's up to CY$1600. Now, you calculated the odds on rolling a 7. Chances are just a good that you'll roll a double -- and that's when the double decision board become available.
What'cha think -- bank the sweet 16 or roll for more green?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Will: Let's see -- this is round 4 -- I'll bank it.
Doug: Banking the 16 bills.
             
|
Doug: Will, that's yours to keep regardless of how you finish in the game. Speaking of "finish", we've got this round, one more round and the catch-up round. So, everyone, please play carefully. Next question.
Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly or Cote de Pablo. In a recent survey, which cast member of "NCIS" was named America's favorite TV star for the second straight year?
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: Oh, I'll guess Mark Harmon.
Doug: Good guess. That's right. (audience applause) Although Cote would get my vote. Eddie, please take your free roll.
|
|
|
Doug: And it's a 2 and a 3 for CY$500. Just to recap, Eddie, you've yet to score, Will's banked CY$1600 and we're in Round 5.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Despite the chilly nature of these dice of late, I shall roll on.
|
|
|
Doug: And it's a good one -- 6 and 2 -- boosting the pot up to CY$1300. Bank now and you'd trail by just CY$300. Next roll could either put you ahead or back behind CY$1600. What'cha think?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: (deep breath) OK, once more...
|
|
|
|
Doug: And -- the sum's on the other side of the 7. A 1 and a 5 bring the pot up to CY$1900. Bank now and you'll lead for the first time in the game.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: I'll stick to that once more declaration. Bank, please.
Doug: Being a man of your word. CY$1900 heading for your bank.
 
|
Doug: Well, we're at Round 6, folks. The catch-up round comes after this round. This question is an important one -- so play carefully.
