Doug: And after the fifth question, we'll go to the video screen where more points can be won or lost. And maybe by then, we'll have Deej. In any event, hands on the buzzers and good luck.

Doug: First points of the game to Andy. Next question for all.
During the New York Rangers' 1994 victorious run to the Stanley Cup, Mike Richter played what position?
Doug: And that's Will.
Will: Goalie
Doug: Correct. (audience applause) FWIW, we couldn't take "goaltender". Rick, let's see if you can make this a three-way tie.
The co-hostess of "Lingo", Shandi Finnessey, knows this five-letter word is a synonym for her belly button. What is this five-letter word?
Doug: Will again.

Doug: Right again.

Doug: Will's in the lead now. Fourth question.
What title is shared by a Rolling Stones hit song and a sitcom with Donna Pescow in the title role?
Doug: Andy.

Nelson: (over loud speaker) Hey Doug!
Doug: Yes, Nelson.
Nelson: Guess what? We found Deej.
Doug: Where?
Nelson: Take a lookie at that thar video screen, remember our theme, remember what happened last season and it ain't gonna surprise ya.
(screen changes to live images of D.J. smooching in the parking lot with Jesse Metcalfe) (hoots and hollers from the audience)
D.J.: (realizing she's on camera) Ack! I guess we've started. Jesse, you've got my number. Next time you're in town, lunch or dinner -- even breakfast in bed -- *my* treat!
Jesse: But Miss Hamilton?
D.J.: It's D.J., OK! How many times do I have to tell you that? Listen, I've really gotta get going.
(audience laughs and applauds as D.J. scurries from the parking lot into Studio 63)
(D.J., wearing a pair of jeans shorts and a "I (heart) Gardeners" t-shirt, tries to catch her breath)
Doug: Hi, Deej. Nice of you to join us!
D.J.: I'm so sorry, Doug. I lost track of time.
Doug: Yeah, funny how you don't lose track of time on Sunday nights.
|
D.J.: Yeah, yeah, whatever. In any event, ya'll know what happens here. You'll each take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen -- trying to build a poker hand.
On your first turn, pick five numbers and we'll reveal the cards hidden behind them. As ya'll know, there's nothing lower than a 9 hidden on the video screen. If you're happy with that hand, take the points associated with the combination and pass control on. But if you want a second turn, exchange one, some or all your cards.
|
D.J.: And as always, the better the hand, the more points you score. But if you have only a pair of Jacks or something worse, you lose five points.
Doug: And if you can make a natural royal flush in this or any other round, you win CY$100,000, an invite to our Quarter Million Playoff and this spiffy prize.
Rich: For your driving enjoyment, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR! (audience cheers) The Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible -- an exciting car built for power and precision performance. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, 8.3 liter V10 engine and much more. The Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible!
(music fades)
Doug: Now, as I was about to say before all this happened, Will leads with 40 points, Andy has 30 and Rick still with 10. Rick, you'll start us off.
Rick: Gimme 4, 7, 14, 19, & 21
Doug: We giveth and you'll taketh...
|
Doug: ...just a pair of Aces. Only gives you 5 points. Go ahead and make exchanges.
Rick: I'll keep the bullets and replace the rest with 12, 17 & 2
Doug: Smart move -- let's see if it's the lucky move.
|
Doug: Oh, got another Ace out of that deal -- but that's all you get.

Doug: Trips give you 15 points -- but that's all you'll get. Andy, we'll get to you after we shuffle.
|
Doug: And now the board awaits your five picks.
Andy: 1, 6, 12, 19, 24
Doug: OK, going with all four corners and a card under one of them. Let's have a look.
|
Doug: You have a King high straight for 20 points. Gives you the lead -- but Will has yet to take possession. Do you want to take the 20 -- or make exchanges and try and do better?
Andy: Too risky to exchange (I could do worse). I'll take the 20 points.
Doug: Thought you might. Give him 20 points, fellers.
