Doug: And that's our first half of the round. Before the search for Deej's apprentice goes any further, let's meet the players. Brian, tell Mr. and Mrs. Internet about yourself.
Brian: I'm from Cloquet, MN. I'm a fan of Power Rangers, Game Shows, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. I currently host 'Net Powerball Instant Millionaire and 'Net Hollywood Showdown.
Doug: Both great games here on VBS. Nice to have you here on the show. Jay, one of our leaders going into the next half of this round, a word or two about you.
Jay: Hi, I'm Jay Converse, and I'm a college student currently undergoing his second semester of tort--er, classes. I also work in a local Toys R Us, in the video game section. Would you like a Game Station 2? Only $500.
Doug: Learned a few tricks from The Apprentice, I see. And oddly enough, I'm trying to get rid of my GS1. Anyway, we'll see if we can find a sucker, er, buyer... (more laughs) ...for you later. Robert, nice to see you again. He was our first champion on Net Poker and is aiming to return to the winner's circle.
Nice to have ya'll aboard. Time for the second half of the round. and the Deejald fills us in.
D.J.: All right. Robert, Jay and Brian... (cell phone rings) ...oh, now what? (answers phone) Hello? ... What? ... He told me he had to go to a doctor's appointment? ... And you caught him playing basketball with some kids? ... (audience laughs) ... Is he back in the office? .. Put him on the phone. ... Earl, I understand you were on the roundball court instead of the clinic. ... I have no time for fools, Earl! YOU'RE FIRED!
(D.J. closes her phone) (audience cheers)
D.J.: A tip now for those in executive decision-making positions. Never hire your ex-spouse.
Doug: You mean you hired an ex-husband?
D.J.: Indeed. Now, back to business...
|
D.J.: ...you'll have a chance to improve your score at the video screen. Behind the numbers are playing cards -- Ace through 9 of each suit. When it's your turn, you'll invest in five numbers. If you're happy with the result, take the gains and pass control to the next player in line. But, if you feel you can do better, trade in one, some or all your cards for new ones.
Remember, the player with the best total gets the reward and the exemption. The others go to the boardroom.
Doug: And we should note part of the reward might include a great vacation to Jamaica. Ghost of Jay Stewart, tell us more.
("For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays plays)
TGoJS: You and a guest will fly first class, round trip to Negril, Jamaica. (audience cheers) You'll spend six nights at a luxury hotel. Lay on the beach, snorkel, dive, fish or sail in this thriving vacation paradise. Enjoy Jamaica -- compliments of Club Universe.
And if anyone makes a natural royal flush in this or any other round of Net Poker, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR! (audience cheers) The Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Go off-road in style in this fantastic car. It comes complete with six-speed manual transmission, a 500 horsepower engine, a huge 15 square-foot sectioned glass sunroof, a rearview camera and much more. OK, Doug, back to you.
|
Doug: Thanks, Jay's ghost. Player, just to show you the better the hand you make, the more points you score. Gotta get at least a pair of Queens to have a chance of impressing the boss. Brian, you're the low man on the totem pole. You start first.
Brian: I'll go with cards 14, 24, 2, 12, and 6.
Doug: Five even numbers. Let's see what's behind them...
|
Doug: ...two Kings and two Queens. Good for 10 additional points if you stopped here. But, if you feel you can do better, make exchanges.
Brian: I'll replace card #2 with card #17.
Doug: Smart move, I think. Away goes the Jack of Hearts and he trades it away for...
