CY$500 Round Doug: We'll get back to our game between Ian and Jay in just a moment. But first, let's meet our players. First, Ian, tell us a little about yourself.
Ian: Well I'm Ian Laudato from Dallas, Texas and I like Poker and Blackjack.
Doug: Well, at least you're in the studio where we *tape* Net Poker and TBR, which includes Blackjack. Good luck in this game. You're down 250-0 -- but the night is young. And Jay, tell us about yourself please.
Jay: My name is Jay Cross, I'm 21 years old, I'm soon to be completing my junior year of college, and I'm the host of Net Catch 21.
Doug: Best of luck in your studies, Net Catch 21 and here on Net Definition.
Jay: I also wouldn't mind some more breast related puzzles :)
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: We'll see if there are more puzzles about hooters in this game. CY$500 round coming up. Ian will start -- with this next definition.
Rich: Free tickets to a David Soul concert. Sorry, Jay.
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Free tickets to a David Soul concert. Ian, go ahead and give a letter away.
Ian: X of course.
Doug: No X -- now take a letter.
Ian: A?
Doug: There is one A.
Doug: Chance to get on the scoreboard -- and even take the lead. Free tickets to a David Soul concert.
Ian: Pass to a great contestant.
Doug: Ah, if that's not sportsmanship, I don't know what is. Jay, over to you.
Jay: Thanks for the complement Ian. I'll give Ian the Z.
Doug: Ya know, you *could* have given him a letter that worked. (light laughter from the crowd) But it doesn't work -- so you may take a letter for yourself.
Jay: Try the E again.
Doug: E's gonna be...
Doug: ...next to the A. With those two vowels, you're entitled to a guess. Free tickets to a David Soul concert.
Jay: I have an idea but I'm not sure enough to try -- so no guess.
Doug: That means control goes back to Ian.
Ian: Y
Doug: No Y. Take a letter.
Ian: O
Doug: O no, no O. And since there's no O, no guess from Ian. We're back to Jay.
Jay: Give Ian the Q.
Doug: No Q. Take a letter.
Jay: I'll take T.
Doug: How about -- *three* T's?
Doug: The first in the middle of the first word -- the others starts and end the second word. For CY$500, the definition is -- free tickets to a David Soul concert.
Jay: Is it Hutch Treat?
Doug: It *is* Hutch Treat.
Doug: David Soul had a hit in the '70s with "Don't Give Up On Us, Baby" -- and he was perhaps better known as the latter title character in the cop show "Starsky and Hutch".
IAN JAY Doug: So that increases Jay score to CY$750. This next round is worth CY$750. If Jay wins this round, he wins the game in a sweep -- and plays two rounds of A to Z for a possible total of CY$100,000. If Ian wins the round, he ties the game and has an important choice to make ahead of Round 4.
Right now, let's get to Round 3.
