Doug: We're back on Net Definition. Jay leads Shawn by a score of 1250-250. But we're going to get a winner soon. Let's go to the championship definition.

Rich: A Hawaiian high-rise.
Doug: A Hawaiian high-rise. Now, in this round, we start it a bit differently. Jay, since you won the CY$750 round, you may give away the first letter to Shawn -- and then possibly take one for yourself. *Or* you may pass control to Shawn -- meaning he'd give away the first letter of the round to you -- and then possibly take one for himself.
Who's giving away the first letter?
Jay: I'll pass it to Shawn.
Doug: He passes to Shawn. Shawn, give away a letter you do not want.
Shawn: Hmmm.....I think I will give him the A.
Doug: *Giving* an A? Well...
Doug: ...he's either feeling charitable or putting some Hold 'Em strategy to work.
Jay, he gave you two A's. Did Shawn give away the game in the process? For the game, the definition is -- a Hawaiian high-rise.
Jay: No answer.
Jay: I'll give him the X.
Doug: No X. Take one now.
Jay: I'll take the E for myself please.
Doug: One E appears...
Doug: ...in each of the last three words. Can you win the game with the five vowels? A Hawaiian high-rise.
Jay: Can't think of it just yet. Gotta pass.
Doug: All right. Shawn, your back in command.
Shawn: I'll give the Q.
Doug: No Q. Take a letter now.
Shawn: I'll take a T.
Doug: T's a great choice -- three of them.
Doug: You've got letters in all the words. Do you have an answer for the game? A Hawaiian high-rise.
Shawn: A hut above the rest?
Doug: He takes a guess...

Doug: ...but this is for sure. Shawn Wells is our new champion.
(bells; audience applause; The Mad Dash victory music plays)
Doug: Much like a Hold 'Em player, Shawn took a chance when he gave the A away -- and that chance paid off.

Doug: Shawn, CY$1500 for you -- and a chance at much more at the A to Z Round.
Jay, a short stay -- but a profitable one. CY$1250 today -- added to your earlier winnings gives you a total of CY$32,750.
