CY$250 Round
Doug: Our first round of the game is worth CY$250. The next round is worth CY$500. We'll play for CY$750 in Round 3. And if we need to go all the way, the final round will be worth CY$1250.
Magic number is CY$1500 -- and the first player to reach that goal wins the game and goes on to the A to Z Round for possibly tens of thousands more. Sweep the first three rounds of the game -- and you'll play our endgame twice -- for a potential total payoff of CY$100,000.
Doug: Shawn, you're the challenger. So you'll get first crack at this definition.
Rich: A comedic actress in the nude.
(men in the audience hoot and holler)
Doug: In case you weren't with us on the last show, we had a definition involving a certain famous female's breasts. Jay said he hoped for more material along those lines and, in this case, the writers are seeing his request and raising him the entire anatomy.
(audience laughs and applauds)
Doug: Shawn, give away a letter you do not want.
Shawn: I'll give him the X.
Doug: No X -- now take a letter.
Shawn: I'll go with an S.
Doug: No S, either. So no chance at a guess. Over to Jay.
Jay: I'll give Shawn the Q
Doug: No Q. Now take a letter.
Jay: I'll try E for myself.
Doug: Try *three* E's while you're at it.
Doug: There they are. When at least one letter goes on the board, you're entitled to one guess. For CY$250, a comedic actress in the nude.
Jay: Pass
Doug: Pass -- goes over to Shawn.
Shawn: I'll give him the Z.
Doug: No Z. Take a letter now.
Shawn: I'll go with an R.
Doug: Here come -- two R's.
Doug: There are the R's. Chance for you to win the 250. A comedic actress in the nude.
Shawn: I will have to pass.
Doug: All right. Control passes back to Jay.
Jay: I'll give Shawn the V.
Doug: No V. Now take one for yourself.
Jay: I'll take A for myself.
Doug: There is one A.
Doug: Almost have the last word filled in. Can you put it all together for CY$250, Jay? A comedic actress in the nude.
Jay: I think I know the bottom word but I'm stumped about the top. Pass.
Doug: All right, it goes back to Shawn.
Shawn: I'll give him a J.
Doug: No J. Take a letter.
Shawn: I'll go with the B.
Doug: B will complete the last word.
Doug: Let's see if you can put the rest of the answer together. For CY$250, a comedic actress in the nude.
Shawn: I was hoping the B would help. I have no idea. I will have to pass.
Doug: All right. We have a little more than half the alphabet in play. So the giving and taking away of letters starts to become serious. Jay?
Jay: Hmm -- give Shawn the K.
Doug: There is no K. Take one now.
Jay: I'll take the T.
Doug: No T. It's back to Shawn.
