Doug: And we're back on the Net Definition Mega Playoff. Michael Clifford's waiting in the wings. He'll be back later tonight in the championship game playing against the winner of the 2-3 game.

Doug: Back with CY$149,000 in winnings is our second seed, Shawn Wells. (audience cheers) And not too far behind is the third seed who won CY$146,000 in regular games -- Andy Silikovitz.
Doug: Remember, each round is worth CY$500 and the goal is CY$1500.

Doug: Shawn, since you're the higher seed, you'll have the first crack at the first definition in this game. The loser of one round starts the next one. In the event the score is tied at CY$1000, the player who created the tie chooses who goes first in the fifth and deciding round.
Best of luck to all as we begin with this definition.

Scarlett: What MTV used to be.
Doug: What MTV used to be. Shawn, give a letter away that you do not want.
Shawn: I'll give the X.
Doug: And there's no X. Take one now.
Shawn: I'll try E.
Doug: Just the one.
Doug: As in the regular games, when you take a letter that appears in the answer at least once, you're entitled to one guess. For CY$500 and the first round in this semi-final game, what MTV used to be.
Shawn: Have to pass.
Doug: And that means we go over to Andy.
Andy: Let's go with Roman numerals. I'll give the V.
Doug: There's no V -- or 5, depending on your view of things. Take a letter.
Andy: I'll take the C.
Doug: Great choice -- three C's.
Doug: Now even though three C's add up to 300 in Roman numerals, this is a chance to win CY$500. What MTV used to be.
Andy: With apologies to Bill Haley -- Rock Around The Clock.
Doug: That's right.
Doug: MTV used to be rock videos around the clock. Nowadays, you're lucky to find a video on that channel.
