It's the title of a hit song by The Beatles, it's the title track of their fifth album -- and it's also the title of a movie starring those lads from Liverpool. Give me the shared four-letter title ending in an exclamation point.
Doug: Barry.
Barry: Help!
Doug: That's correct. (audience applause) Barry scores first. Next question for all.
Name the manufacturer of such gadgets as the iPhone and the iPod.

Doug: Oh, come on, Erik. Let me have a *little* fun.
Judge Von Erik: Just be glad this isn't Net America's Got Talent.
Doug: Next question.

Doug: Last question before we go to the big screen.
What brand of soap shares its name with the molten rock that comes from a volcano?
Doug: Eddie again.
Eddie: Lava.
Doug: Right again.

Doug: All right, after five questions, the challengers are tied at 30. Josh, our champ, with 20. D.J., time for the next half of the round.
|
D.J.: All right, Josh, Barry and Eddie, you'll each take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen. On your first turn, you'll choose five numbers and we'll reveal the cards behind them. As always, we have nothing lower than a 9 in the main game.
If you like the combination those cards make, take the points associated with the hand and pass control on to another player. If you think you can do better, take that second turn and exchange any or all cards for new ones. Once you take that second turn, you're stuck with whatever points you get.
|
D.J.: Remember, you need at least a pair of Queens to gain any points at all. Anything less than two Queens and you'll lose 5 points.
Doug: And remember, if you make a natural royal flush in this or any other round, you win CY$100,000 plus this spiffy prize.

Rich: For your driving enjoyment, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR! (audience cheers) The Porsche Boxster. This high performance roadster offers dynamic styling and thrills aplenty. Comes with a 2.7 liter H6 240 horsepower engine -- plus five-speed automatic transmission, trunk anti-trap device, all-speed traction control and much more.
(music fades)
Doug: Now that's the car Josh will win if he wins this game. Should he win the game *and* make a royal flush naturally, he'll have that car plus CY$200,000 -- 100-grand represented by the royal, the other 100-thou represent by the third straight win.
Josh, since you are going for win number three, we give you a chance to say hello to friends and loved ones.
Josh: I'd like to send a shout out to my lovely fiancee Jessica :-)
("awws" from the crowd)
Doug: The two J's getting married. Congratulations and hope you two have many years of wedded bliss. Now on to the matter of picking numbers.
Josh: Let's go with 3 6 10 14 and 20
Doug: Okie doke, let's have a look.

(FF reveal sfx) (audience cheers)
Doug: WOW! Josh! A full boat right off the bat. Queens of Diamonds, Spades and Hearts join the Nines of Clubs and Spades. If you stopped your possession right now, I'll give you 40 more points. But if you want to go for four of a kind, a straight flush or royal flush, you do have a second turn.
Josh: I think I'll stay with the full boat.
Doug: Somehow I thought you would. Give him 40 points, fellers.

Doug: He's answered the questions well and luck's been on his side. That's why he's the champ. Challengers, the only way you'll stay in this round is if you build a full house or make something better than a full house.
Now, we have a tie between Barry and Eddie. Player to the left goes first. That's Barry, but first we shuffle.
|
Doug: They're ready. Now it's been awhile since you've been with us -- so tell the nice folks about yourself.
Barry: Well, I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I work in retail, I enjoy movies a great deal as well as game shows, video games, and music. And, most importantly, I have a cat named Phoebe. Hi Phoebe!
Doug: Hi, Phoebe. Wish Barry good luck as he picks five numbers.
Barry: I will go for all even numbers...4, 8, 10, 18, and 20.
Doug: OK, let's have a look
