Doug: And we're back. Final round of Net Definition. Plain and simple -- the winner of this round wins the game and plays for CY$50,000. For John, the extra incentive of a new car and 100-grand is in play.
Here's Scarlett with the championship definition.
                             |
Scarlett: "O Canada".
Doug: Plain and simple definition for a deciding round -- "O Canada".
John, as the winner of the third round, you have the option to give the first letter away and then possibly taking the next letter for yourself -- or you may have Jay give you the first letter and then maybe let him take the next letter.
Your call -- who gives the first letter away of this round?
John: I'll give the first letter.
Doug: All right. Give away a letter you do not want.
John: I'll give the J.
Doug: Giving Jay a J -- and there's no J.
John: Take the E, please.
Doug: I'm afraid -- there's no E. Over to Jay Cross now.
Jay: I'll give him an X.
Doug: And there's no X. Take a letter.
Jay: I'll try an A for myself.
Doug: No A either. We've yet to put a letter in the answer in this decisive round. Back to John.
John: I'll give the Q.
Doug: No Q. Take a letter now.
John: Take the O, please.
Doug: There is one O.
Doug: With the one O, you're entitled to a guess. A lot riding on it: the game, 100-grand, a new car and a berth in the mega playoff.
The definition again -- "O Canada".
John: Not seeing it yet. Pass.
Doug: And we'll pass it back to Jay.
Jay: Z for John.
Doug: Giving away a Z -- and there's no Z. Take a letter.
Jay: I'll keep with the vowels and take I for myself.
Doug: There's just the one.
Doug: Next to last letter in the answer. The right solution makes you our new champion. The definition -- "O Canada".
Jay: I'm gonna have to pass unforunately.
Doug: Passing it back to the champ.
John: I'll give the K.
Doug: No K. Take one now.
John: I guess I'll finish the vowels and take the U, please.
Doug: How about *two* U's?
Doug: One U in each word. Can you win it with the vowels showing? If so, it's the game plus CY$100,000 and a new car -- and the tourney berth. The definition -- "O Canada".
John: Yep, those U's did the trick. The puzzle is Country Music.
(scattered cheers from the crowd)
Doug: Keep applaudin' -- cause he's completed the field for the Mega Playoff!
(bells; audience cheers; The Mad Dash victory music plays)
Doug: "O Canada" is country music since the song is Canada's national anthem. And the name of a country, "Canada", is in the title of the song. So a little bit of a double pun in there.

Doug: John, CY$2500 for this game and lots more. We'll get into the specifics shortly. Jay, well-played game. Unfortunately, we send you home with just CY$250. But we have lovely parting gifts backstage and our thanks for playing Net Definition. Big hand for Jay Cross.
Doug: John, as they say, to the victor go the spoils. And here comes your first.
(new car music plays) (D.J. Hamilton drives this in...)
Scarlett: For your driving enjoyment, John IT'S A RESTORED CAR! (audience cheers) This restored 1965 Ford Mustang two-door coupe comes with a powerful V8 engine, chrome wheels, restored leather and a touch of nostalgia. This fantastic car is worth CY$19,000. Congratulations.
Doug: And lest we forget -- for three straight wins, a bonus of CY$100,000. (more cheers) With all these interruptions from the crowd, I'm starting to feel like I'm delivering a State of the Union speech.
