OK, friends. Here it is. Ten episodes of Net Poker wouldn't be possible without you. So, to thank you, we're throwing in a chance at a maximum CY$10,000 bonus in qualifying for this audience game.
Just like with qualifying for any other audience game, I have a question with a numerical answer. The three players closest to the right answer, high or low, get to play A Day At The Races. The winner there moves on to play the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge.
Now, here's where the CY$10,000 fishbowl comes in. Along with the qualifying question comes a follow-up question. To play the follow-up, you've got to participate in qualifying. Those who correctly answer the follow-up question correctly will either win or share in that CY$10,000. And if no one answers the follow-up correctly, we'll just hold a random drawing among those who've played in qualifying.
Got all that? Hope so. 'Cause qualifying starts now with this picture...
This is Erica Simoneaux -- one of the ladies who models my radio show t-shirts on DougMorris.net. Erica once danced with a man who hosted at least one game show. How many letters are in his last name?
CY$10,000 FISHBOWL FOLLOW-UP: Give me the last name of the man who danced with Erica.
(time passes)
Well, let's see how ya did. Someone's winning 10-grand on skill or luck. Let's see the answers to the questions...
QUALIFYING ANSWERS |
That's right. Erica was in the front row of a Sha Na Na concert, Jon "Bowzer" Bauman saw she was having fun and invited her up on stage and they danced the night away -- or at least the rest of the show. You know Bauman from his work on The Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour and The Pop 'N Rocker Game. Now, let's see if anyone nailed these answers...
Robert McBride 6 Osmond Steve Michaels 6 Barris
Well, Robert and Steve, you got the number question right -- but not the follow-up. Good guess with Donny Osmond, Robert. The game we're playing won't matter who goes first or second -- but just for the heck of it, who rang in first?
Robert McBride 6 Osmond
OK, Robert, you'll take the first podium; Steve, the second. Who's playing third base?
Andy Geller 4 Eure Joe Van Ginkel 4 Eure Stephen Pallo 8 (no response to follow-up)
Well, one of you three. Andy and Joe, I gotta tell ya, Wesley Eure's a great guess. In DougMorris.net's scrapbook, there's a picture of Wesley and me when he visited the TV station I work for. He was on a book tour plugging "The Red Wings of Christmas" at the time and is a native of South Mississippi. But what you *really* want to know is who chimed in first in this trio?
Stephen Pallo 8 (no response to follow-up)
All right, Stephen, you're in it. Now, this means we hold a drawing and we turn to Earl. He's got the names of everyone who tried to qualify. Earl, draw a name and tell us who's winning CY$10,000?
Earl: All right... (reaches into drum; draws slip) ...Dean Scungio.
Doug: Dean! Way back in the last row. CY$10,000 *and* the fishbowl. Oughta buy lots of fish and food. Meantime, Robert, Stephen and Steve are off to the races after this short break.
