Doug: We'll shift gears and talk celeb-reality.

Melissa Rivers finished in second place in a season of...
\ "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here!"
\ "The Celebrity Apprentice"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Matthias buzzes in)

Doug: Matthias again.

Matthias: "The Celebrity Apprentice"

(buzz)

Doug: No, she finished second on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here!" in its 2003 version. Matthias now needs five to win. Brian needs two to win.

The term "North Star" can currently be associated with...
\ an NHL player who plays his home games in Minnesota
\ a star in the night sky also known as Polaris
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Brian buzzes in)

Doug: Brian.

Brian: A star in the night sky, known as Polaris.

(ding)

Doug: That's right.

Doug: Brian's one away from the championship. Matthias still needs a big comeback.

The number 747 is often associated with...
\ a jumbo jet
\ Archie Bunker's house number on Hauser Street
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Brian buzzes in)

Doug: Brian for the game.

Brian: A jumbo jet?

Doug: Good guess -- you're the new champion.

(dings; audience cheers)

Doug: Archie Bunker called *704* Hauser Street home on "All In The Family". Brian, congrats. A chance to win a lot of cyber-money and prizes before you play for CY$75,000.

Matthias, great game. Unfortunately you ran up against a buzzsaw here in the final round. You do collect CY$10 per point in this round -- so another CY$250 in your coffers. Grand total of CY$2750. Nice hand for Matthias Lamers.

(audience cheers)

 
 



 
 

Doug: Brian, you'll tackle our new champion's game shortly. First, please pick two letters in "POKER". If you can find CY$7500 and CY$5000, I'll double the payoffs for a total of CY$25,000.

Brian: I'll take the P and the K.

Doug: P and K. First, let's see what's behind the P.

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching)

Doug: CY$2500. Well no big bonus in play here. Let's hope for CY$7500 behind K.

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching)

Doug: Nope. A grand. (smattering of applause) CY$3500 added to your winnings as we get set for more winning.

 
 



 
 

(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: This is our new side game -- Joker. Behind one of these numbers is the Joker. Find the Joker and you win the side pot worth CY$10,000. The other numbers hide special cards determining either an instant payoff or something that will happen to you in Deuces Wild Poker. Pick a number.

Brian: I'll take number 4.

Doug: You'll take number 4? It's amazing what you have in common with the Minnesota Vikings. (audience laughs) Is the Joker behind number 4?

 
 



 
 

(ding)

Doug: Nope -- but it's a trip. Oh, I hope it's not a trip to Mansfield, Ohio.

(tropical trip music plays)

Rich: No, Doug and Brian, it's an exotic vacation in Jamaica. (audience cheers)



Rich: You and a guest will fly first class, round trip to Negril, Jamaica where you'll spend six nights at a luxury hotel. Lay on the beach, snorkel, dive, fish or sail in this thriving vacation paradise. Enjoy Jamaica -- compliments of Club Universe. A vacation worth -- CY$9,150. Plus there's more, right Doug?

(music fades)

Doug: That's right, Rich. Brian, you actually uncovered one of the two trip cards on the board. With each trip card, there's an amount of cyber-money to take along. So you have that Jamaican trip plus -- flip that card around fellers.

 
 



 
 

(ding)

Doug: CY$2500.

(audience cheers) (smooth jazz theme plays)

 

 

 

BRIAN
MATTHIAS

Doug: So that brings your total winnings to CY$20,150 -- including that trip. And a chance to win CY$75,000 in Deuces Wild Poker -- that's next on The New Net Poker.

(audience cheers)

[NOTES FROM DOUG: Since any future tournaments of champions would be of an invitation only affair, we're now doing away with so-called "tournament scores" and calculating values of trips and other prizes into a player's total winnings. So Brian has 11-grand in cyber-cash plus the virtual trip to Jamaica.

For those playing "the home game", Joker was next door at #5]
