Doug: Thanks, D.J. Welcome aboard players. You've all played before. So, we're just going to dive right in to the game. Ten points for each of you to start. Time to play some questions worth 10 each and away we go...
Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas were...
\ married in 1994
\ separated after being married for a year
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Rick.
Rick: Seperated after 1 year of marriage
Doug: Not the right choice. Anyone else. (Michael buzzes in) Michael.
Michael: married in 1994
Doug: Right.

Doug: Drew and Jeremy went to Splitsville after just six weeks of marriage. Cindy and I can safely say we've eclipsed that mark. :) Next question for all...
"Grazing In The Grass" was a top five hit in the '60s for...
\ Friend of Distinction
\ Hugh Masekela
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Rick.
Rick: None of the above
Doug: No, not right. Michael or Brian? (Michael buzzes in) Michael.
Michael: Hugh Masekela.
Doug: Also not right. Bri--
Judge Von Erik: (over loud speaker) Excuse me, Doug.
Doug: Yes, Your Honor.
Judge Von Erik: Technically, Michael is correct. The first choice should've read "*Friends* of Distinction". But, since there's a missing "s", that makes it a wrong choice. So, Michael should be awarded 10 points.
Doug: OK, very well.

Doug: Well, Michael, your eyes must've been better than mine. Hugh's original version, an instrumental, topped the charts in '68. The remake by *Friends* of Distinction, with added lyrics, charted third in '69. And of course Hugh Masekela can now be seen hosting GSN's BallBreakers.
D.J.: Uh, Doug, don't you mean *Sal* Masekela?
Doug: Oh, yeah.
D.J.: BTW, that's another modeling gig I lost. I wanted to be the rack girl. :(
Doug: While D.J. sticks pins in the Adrienne Curry voodoo doll, let's turn back the clock to the '80s with this...
In the year 1983,...
\ The Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour debuted on NBC
\ U.S. ZIP codes expand to nine digits
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Michael.
Michael: all of the above.
Doug: Three in a row for you.

Doug: Yeah, I can remember Gene Rayburn giving out the postal address for the Telephone Match contest. He raised some issues about the Zip+4 deal. Michael has a big early lead. Next query...
The phrase "red letter day"...
\ was first used in 1904
\ refers to holy days marked in red letters on a church calendar
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Refers to holy days marked in red letters on a church calendar.
Doug: There ya go.

Doug: Phrase dates back to 1704. Last question before we go to the video screen...
December 26th is also known as...
\ Boxing Day
\ the holy day of St. Stephen
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Boxing Day.
Doug: Not right. Rick or Michael? (Rick buzzes in) Rick.
Rick: I'll say all of the above.
Doug: And you're 10 points richer.

Doug: After five question, Michael has 40 points. Rick and Brian tied at 20. Let's go to D.J. over at the big screen.
D.J.: OK, Doug. Players, just to refresh your memory, you'll have up to two chances to make a high-scoring poker hand. As you know, we're playing with every Ace, face card, 10 and 9.
|
D.J.: If you end up with a pair of just Jacks or less -- or worse -- we take five points away. And if you can make a natural royal flush in this or any other round, you'll probably win the round and definitely win CY$100,000 plus what else, Rich?
Rich: For your driving enjoyment, 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.
(music fades)
Doug: OK, Rich Jeffries. Thanks. Rick, you're tied for last place. Since you're the champ, you start this half of the round first. Before you do, we've been away for so long, refresh Mr. & Mrs. Internet with your life's story.
Rick: I'm from Spokane, WA, where I'm a school bus attendant. In my spare time, I like watching hockey and I'm an avid blackjack player.
Doug: Oh, you and my brother need to get together. He used to be part of the University of Alabama-Huntsville hockey radio broadcasts. Well, you're about to play some Poker here as you pick five numbers.
Rick: I'll take 3, 9, 12, 17, & 24
Doug: Very well. Let's see if those numbers hide good cards.
|
Doug: Well, the only thing good about 3 and 9 is they'd total 21 in Blackjack. But with all five of those cards, they total negative five. So, you'll want to take that second chance.
Rick: I'll keep the 2 Jacks and take 6, 18 and 23
Doug: OK. Hangs on to the fishhooks and what joins them?
|
Doug: Well, you're still in it mathematically with three of a kind.
