Audience Game If you've eaten too much Halloween candy, you might have to shed some pounds. What percentage of men say they've gone on a diet? (time passes) Okie doke, folks. Show us the right answer.
QUALIFYING ANSWER
6%
Just six percent. Let's see who's the closest Michael Clifford 25% It's Michael. Meet your opponents... Mat Tanga 35% ...Mat with 35 percent and... Matt Taylor 43% ...Matt with two T's with 43. All right folks, get ready to battle against danger. ====================================================================== (clips of NPiR, Net Bumper Stumpers and FastTalkers roll as the saxophone solo to The Alan Parsons Project song "Old And Wise" plays) Voice guy: Get reacquainted with VBS's greatest hits on Netgame Marathon. Coming soon. ======================================================================Rich: (sounding eerie) Michael Clifford -- Mat Tanga -- Matt Taylor. Two of you are about to meet certain doom. One of you will prosper. It's -- the Faces of Danger, Halloween Edition! (thunder sfx) And now, here's Count Dougula.
Doug: BTW, in case you're wondering, Rich has been spending all this time auditioning to host the late night horror movie show on VBS63 here in Hattiesburg. Anyway, Michael, Mat and Matt, welcome. Just for making it this far, we'll give you each CY$2500.

Doug: Now, here's how this Halloween version of the Faces of Danger works. Load up that board, please.
![]()
Doug: Behind twelve of these numbers are pieces of candy corn. Find candy corn and your score is safe. But, behind twelve of the other numbers, three different faces of Halloween danger.
There are four Jack O'Lanterns on the board; find one of those and we take CY$500 away from your total. There are four witches hidden; find a witch and the penalty is CY$1000. And there are four ghosts lurking on the board; find a ghost and you'll lose CY$1500.
Now, you'll take turns picking numbers one at a time until two of you have less than CY$500 each. Once you have less than 500, you're out of the game. The last player standing automatically wins. And if you're fortunate enough to avoid danger and hang on to all CY$2500, we'll double that score for CY$5000.
Doug: And of course, the winner here moves on to the Outlaw's Video Slot Challenge where tens of thousands more can be won. Michael, you're up first. Pick a number.
Michael: I will go with 2.
Doug: Number 2. What's there?

Doug: Oh dear.
MICHAEL M. TANGA M. TAYLOR ![]()

Doug: Michael, already your score's on life support. A witch or another ghost and it's curtains for you. Mat Tanga, you're up now.
Mat Tanga: I'll pick Lucky 7.
Doug: Let's see if 7 is lucky.

Doug: Not here.

Doug: Matt Taylor, your turn. Find some of that candy corn and you'll be in the lead for sure.
Matt Taylor: 14 please
Doug: Number 14. What's there?
![]()
Doug: Candy corn for you. So, one trip down the line and indeed Matt Taylor has the lead with all 2500, Mat Tanga with 2000 and Michael with 1000. Michael, your turn again. You want to avoid another ghost or a witch.
Michael: Since my favorite Deal Or No Deal model is Jill Manas, I will go with the suitcase number that she usually holds. 12.
Doug: Number 12 for Jill. Candy corn or a Jack O'Lantern will keep you in business; obviously, you hope for the former. Anything else and it's bye-bye. Show us something good behind 12.

(guy dressed as "The Grudge" takes Michael by the arm; they both exit stage left)
Doug: Uh, really, Michael, no need to worry! He's just the accountant! (audience laughs and applauds) He's just taking you to his office to cut you your CY$100 consolation check! REALLY! Nice hand for Michael.
Doug: Sad thing is that's what our accountant looks like *every* day of the year.
Accoutant: (offstage) I heard that! (more laughs)
Doug: Anyway, Michael's out of the running. It's Mat and Matt now. Next one out also gets whisked away into the accountant's office. Mat Tanga, you're up next.
Mat: Lets go with #21 Doug.
Doug: OK, you'd love to see some candy corn here. Only one safe space has been revealed. How about 21?
