Round 2

Doug: Robert leads 250-0 over Anson. We'll give Anson a chance to get on the scoreboard in a bit. But first, a new wrinkle to Net Definition. The winner of today's game not only plays for a possible 50- or 100-grand in A to Z -- but also gets a chance to win a bonus prize from the winner's board. Here's Scarlett to tell us about the biggie on said board.

(new car music plays)

Scarlett: That's right, Doug, Anson and Robert. One of the prizes at stake on the winner's board tonight is A BRAND NEW CAR!

(audience cheers)

Scarlett: Step in to luxury when you take to the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport Sedan. Comes with a 3.5-liter, 268 horsepower engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, six-disc CD changer, 1000-watt sound system and much more. A terrific prize worth CY$40,650.

(audience cheers)

Scarlett: And now, back to Doug Morris and Net Definition.

Doug: All right, Scarlett, thanks. Let's get to meet our players -- starting with Anson. Great to see you back in the neighborhood.

Anson: Well, Doug, I'm 29 years old, from Lansing, Michigan and I enjoy playing and hosting netgames, such as Net Card Sharks, and watching classic game shows.

Doug: Nice to have you here. Good luck in NCS and in this game. We also wish good luck to Robert. A word or two about you, please.

Robert: I'm Robert McBride and proud to be a graduate college student since May of last year, and I'm still working on my Game Show Kingdom blog and MMA Examiner jobs.

Doug: Well we wish you good luck in those pursuits. Again, good luck to both players. Let's start our second round for CY$500. Anson's going to start it off with this definition.







(FF reveal sfx)

Scarlett: Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Doug: Interesting definition. Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere. Anson, give a letter away you do not want.

Anson: Give the X.

Doug: And there's no X. Take a letter.

Anson: Take the N, please, Doug.

Doug: No N. Sorry about that. Robert, over to you.

Robert: Give the Z.

Doug: Could be bad news. Giving the Z means...






(ding)

Doug: ...you just gave Anson the last letter of the second word.

Anson, let me explain what this means for you. You're entitled to a guess. If you're right, you win CY$500, of course. If you're wrong or don't want to attempt a guess, you may at least give a letter away to Robert.

So, on this free guess, the definition is -- hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Anson: I don't know it, Doug.

Doug: All right. (buzz buzz) That will count as a wrong answer. But it's still your turn since you were given that Z. Now you may give a letter away.

Anson: I'll have to give the Q.

Doug: There's no Q. Take a letter.

Anson: Take the E.

Doug: And there are two E's.






(ding)

Doug: One at the end of the first word, the other is right next to the Z. Another chance to win the round and CY$500. Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Anson: No guess.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: Okie doke. Robert, you've been granted a reprieve. Your turn.

Robert: Give the J.

Doug: There's no T. Take a letter.

Robert: I have to go with the T.

Doug: And I have to tell you it's the first letter...






(ding)

Doug: ...in the first word. Your first chance to win the 500 is now. Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Robert: I don't know.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: No guess from Robert. Back to Anson.

Anson: Give the K.

Doug: And there's no K. Take a letter.

Anson: Take the R.

Doug: One R.






(ding)

Doug: There it pops in as the last letter in the answer. Another chance to take the 500 and the lead. Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Anson: No guess.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: Alrighty then. About half the alphabet's left in play -- so play carefully, everyone. Robert, your turn.

Robert: Give the V.

Doug: And there's no V. Take a letter now.

Robert: Take the S.

Doug: There's one S.







(ding)

Doug: You now have at least one letter in each word exposed. Do you have the winning answer for 500? Hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Robert: I'm still drawing a blank.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: All right. We're back to Anson.

Anson: Give the W.

Doug: There's no W. Take a letter now.

Anson: Take the L.

Doug: We've got one of those.






(ding)

Doug: Still one letter exposed in the third word. Two letters in the others. For CY$500, hey, I've seen that hat somewhere.

Anson: No guess.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: No guess from Anson. Exactly half the alphabet left in play now as we go back to Robert.

Robert: Give the Y.

Doug: No Y. You may take a letter.

Robert: Take the P.







(a few groans in the crowd)

Doug: No P, I'm afraid. Sounds like some folks in the audience know it. Please do not shout out answers. Anson, back to you.

Anson: Give the M.

(more groans in the crowd)

Doug: Turnabout is fair play.
