Doug: Welcome back to Net Poker. We've all polished off Erin's cake and now she's trying to find us all a good diet plan. (audience laughs) Anyway, you folks at home, did you figure out who originally sang "The Twist"? The song was written and originally recorded by Detroit R&B legend Hank Ballard. As a B-side to one of his records, the song never took off until Chubby Checker performed it on American Bandstand and -- well -- the rest is history.
JOKER |
Doug: Time for Andy or Jay to make a little history in Joker Poker. The high-scorer of this round wins our game and the chance at CY$62,500 in Deuces Wild Poker. Gentlemen, this plays just like the earlier round except that we've added two Jokers to the deck. If you take control of any Joker, you can substitute it for anything when your poker hand is complete. Andy, you got to cut the cards during the stopdown since you won the first round. Let's see the first two cards from that deck. Deej, clue us in.

D.J.: WOW! A pair of Aces. Ace of Hearts and the Ace of Spades.
Doug: Indeed. OK, 10 points up for grabs and your choice of Ace on this question...

Doug: Might have been a big hit if the show actually had a prize budget. Anyway, Jay, which Ace would you like to start your hand with?
JX: Ace of hearts
JX
|
Doug: Andy gets the Ace of Spades by default. Good start for each player cardwise. Let's see if more good cards from Deej come.
  |
D.J.: Well. Another pair. The 10 of Hearts and the 10 of Clubs.
Doug: And another 10-point question on the way. Here goes...

Doug: YMCA was founded in 1844. Which card, Andy?
Andy: 10 of Hearts
|
JX
|
Doug: Breaking up the royal attempt. Well, we've got a tie score in every facet of the game. Each player with 10 points, an Ace and a 10. What next, Deej?
  |
D.J.: Umm... yeah... Queen of Diamonds and the King of Hearts.
Doug: Oh boy. Well, let's just keep truckin'...
In the year 1986...

Andy: Jenny Jones became the first female comic to win on "Star Search"
Doug: That's right.

Doug: By the way, the newsmagazine 1986 was co-anchored by Roger Mudd and Connie Chung. Maury, for what it's worth, was one of only 12 people who actually watched that show. (audience laughs) Seriously, NBC never had success with a newsmagazine show 'til Dateline came along. Anyhoo, which card, Andy?
Andy: King of Hearts
|
JX
|
Doug: Don't you wish you could trade Aces with Jay. Well, Deej, was there still royal potential in the deck?
  |
D.J.: No. But we've got the 9 of Spades and the Queen of Clubs.
Doug: And here's the next question...
Actress Esther Rolle played the part of Florida Evans on...

Doug: Tie ballgame. Which card, JX?
JX: Queen of clubs
|
JX
|
Doug: And with that selection, Andy's working on just Ace high, Jay's got a pair of Queens and we've got a pair of blind cards.
 |
Doug: As you know, the blind card question's worth 15 points. More importantly, you get control of the cards. Then, we'll see who wins the 25 points and the game for high hand. Play carefully and here we go...
