Doug: I thank you, D.J. Let me explain. During the game in which Michael Clifford clinched a berth in this tournament, we had to cancel a round due to Dustin have to leave early. We wouldn't let something like that count against him -- so we're allowing the losing parties from that game play in this regular game of Net Poker that we're starting.
Matt's on board because he'd qualified assuming Michael wasn't available for the start of that last game. Michael made it to the studio *just* in time. So, we're letting him on board in this game.
Now, if you can follow all that, you're a better man than I, Gunga Dinn. (audience laughs)
Seriously, good to see all of you here. Dustin so far as won one game, a trip to San Antonio and CY$12,750. We'll designate him the returning champion. Robert won CY$350 in the game Michael won. Matt, we'll see if you can win something in this round of Video Poker we're starting. And we start with each of you receiving 10 points

Doug: The winner of this round moves on to the championship show where we'll play Joker Poker. Runners-up for this round play the elimination round of 5-Card Poker on the next show in this miniseries. The winner of Joker Poker becomes or continues as champion -- and plays for CY$82,500 in Deuces Wild.
Doug: Now, D.J., we have a theme for this Video Poker round.

UPN AND THE WB:
BEEN NICE KNOWIN' YAD.J.: Yes, with The WB and UPN merging to make "The CW", we're paying tribute to those networks with five questions. Doug will name a show, you tell him if the show aired only on The WB, only on UPN, on both networks or neither.
Doug: Each time you chime in with the right answer, we add 10 points to your score. After five questions, we move on to the video screen -- where you could win more.
One more thing, when we talk about these show, we're speaking in terms of "first run" episodes. Any reruns don't count. Good luck, let's play.

Doug: Despite critical acclaim, the drama lasted just one season on UPN. One of my RockTrax teammates, Marcus Freeman, highly recommends getting the DVD. And if you don't like it -- he'll buy it back from you. (light laughter from the crowd) Only kidding, Marcus. OK, last question and we'll go to the video screen...

Doug: Pepper just premiered on The WB recently. Why? I mean it's going to merge with another network and all. Anyway, Dustin with the lead and 40 points, Robert with 20, Matt's hoping for better luck at the video screen -- where D.J. is standing.
