Rich: The championship's on the line. Jay and Andy play Joker Poker where one of them could instantly win CY$10,000 and a trip to San Francisco. Back to Doug Morris and Net Poker.
Doug: Thanks, Rich. Yes, one of the executives here at VBS63 in Hattiesburg just got back from a family vacation in San Francisco -- and loved it. So, Andy and Jay, one of you could be headed that way.
|
Doug: As always, the final round's theme is General Knowledge Multiple Choice. Jay, you know how this works. Andy, this is a refresher. I'll give you a question with four possible answers -- the last two of which are always "all of the above" and "none of the above".
Buzzing in with the right answer earns 10 points and a choice of card. We'll then play a 15-point blind card question to complete the hands. High hand for 25 points. High score wins the game.
Remember, there are two Jokers in the deck -- hence the name Joker Poker. Collect one of those and you may use it for anything when your hand's complete.
Andy cut the cards during the break -- and let's see those first two cards.
  |
D.J.: We're starting with the 9 of Clubs and the Queen of Hearts.
Doug: And here's the first question. Good luck...
James Cameron directed...
\ "The Abyss"
\ "Apollo 13"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Andy.
Andy: "The Abyss"
Doug: That's right

    |
  |
Doug: First 10 points of the round belong to you. Which card?
Andy: Playing with the Queen of Hearts.
Doug: A Juice Newton fan, I assume?
 ANDY  JAY |
Doug: In any event, Jay gets the 9 out of the deal. Two more cards.
  |
D.J.: The King of Diamonds and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: And more entertainment trivia on the way...
In the year 1978,...
\ "Taxi" debuted on CBS
\ the movie "Halloween" was playing at a theater near you
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: All of the above
Doug: Sorry, not right. Andy, chance to steal.
Andy: The movie "Halloween" was playing at a theater near you.
Doug: That's right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Taxi was on ABC at the time -- later moving on to NBC. Which card, Andy?
Andy: King me.
Doug: More royalty for Andy...
|
ANDY JAY |
Doug: ...Jay gets a pair of 9s. But he could use some points here. Next two cards.
  |
D.J.: The Jack of Clubs and the King of Spades.
Doug: And let's see if Jay can get on the scoreboard or if Andy will increase his lead.
"The Big Show" was the title of a...
\ short-lived NBC variety show
\ weekly program on Fox Sports Net hosted by Keith Olbermann
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Jay.
Jay: Short lived NBC variety show
Doug: Correct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: K.O.'s "Big Show" was on MSNBC. Jay, you're on the board. Which card?
Jay: I'll take the King of Spades.
Doug: Denying Andy of a pair.
|
ANDY JAY |
Doug: Though he is 3/5 of the way toward a straight. Two more cards, please.
  |
D.J.: The Joker and the Jack of Spades.
Doug: Hey now! First wild card of the game up for grabs with 10 points on this...
The Canadian province of Quebec...
\ produces the most maple syrup in the world
\ tried to secede from the rest of the country
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Andy.
Andy: all of the above
Doug: Yes indeed. (audience applause) Which card -- as if I didn't know?
Andy: Joker. Make it a King.
Doug: Well, we'll give you the Joker...
|
ANDY JAY |
Doug: ...but we won't hold you to that call of a King. You may get an Ace, 10 or 9 and want to use that Joker to complete a straight. With that said, let's bring in the final two cards for the round.
 |
Doug: And, Jay, I have just come to the unfortunate conclusion you can't win. Even if you score on this question and got another 9 or Joker, the best you could do is three 9s. Andy's either going to have trip Jacks, trip Queens, trip Kings or a straight.
So let's go ahead and play this question -- and I'll attach a chance at a CY$2500 bonus. First the question...
The movie "The Godfather" is...
\ based on a novel written by Mario Puzo
\ the most rented video of all-time
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Andy.
Andy: based on a novel written by Mario Puzo
Doug: That's right.

|
 
|
|
|
|
 |
(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: Well, you've won the game on points -- but we'll proceed with your chance at CY$2500, Andy. First, go ahead and pick a card.
Andy: Left
Doug: OK, for CY$2500, predict its suit -- Spades, Hearts, Clubs or Diamonds.
Andy: Diamonds
Doug: All right, Deej, turn that left card over.
 |
(a few groans)
Doug: It's the 10 of *Clubs*. Now you know why we recommend you wait 'til the hand's complete until declaring the Joker. That 10 gives you a straight. Jay, I think it's safe to say you lost this game fair and square. If something awry did happen, we'll let you know. Otherwise, you'll have to wait out the next three episodes before trying again.
Good news is you racked up a nice piece of change and it adds up to CY$6800.
|
Doug: All right, champ, you know the drill. Pick two letters in "POKER". Uncover a total of CY$7000 and I'll throw in an extra three-grand.
Andy: I'll pick the vowels... O and E
Doug: Look, just because you have CY$500, don't feel obligated to buy them. (light laughter from the crowd) They're free here. Let's see the O first.
|
(rimshot; ca-ching) (smattering of applause)
Doug: Good beginning. CY$2000. Let's see five-thou behind the E.
|
Doug: Well, we'll settle for another CY$1000. OK, now let's play for a trip.
|
Doug: OK, big screen being generous. You have to find a card higher than a 10. Do that and you win this trip.
Rich: A trip to San Francisco. (audience cheers) You and a guest will fly round trip coach to San Francisco, California, for a six-night stay at a luxury hotel. See the Golden Gate Bridge, visit Fisherman's Wharf and ride the famous trolley cars. All in the city by the bay -- San Francisco. Compliments of Club Universe.
Doug: All right. Great trip. Which number will get you there?
Andy: Since San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California, 4.
Doug: Interesting logic. Does it work?
|
(winning bells; audience applause)
Doug: It does. Congratulations.

Doug: CY$3500 and a trip to San Fran--
Andy: Was the right card Diamonds?
Doug: Was the right card -- OH! You really wanna see the right card? Ya know, it won't matter in the standings. (some folks in the crowd say "Show the card!") OK, OK. Deej, settle 'em down and show 'em the right card.
 |
Doug: See, now it's only gonna make Andy feel worse -- as he plays for CY$67,500 in Deuces Wild on Net Poker.
ADVANCE TO DEUCES WILD POKER
