[NOTE FROM DOUG: Misspellings aren't penalized as long as it's "close enough". Diane is actually spelled with one less "n".]
Doug: Dean, let's see if you can make this a three-way tie with this.

Doug: Mathias again.

Doug: Got it again.

Doug: Mathias with a hot hand after five questions. A big 50 for him. Chris has 20 and Dean with 10. Remember, the first third of this round has just been completed. We've still got to deal with the video screen and the Poker Run before we declare a winner.
Now let's bring out the lovely D.J. Hamilton for the next phase of our round.
(audience cheers as D.J. enters from stage right)
D.J.: Thanks, Doug. Good evening, Chris, Dean and Mathias. Here's how this next part of the round works.
|
 
 
 
 |
|
D.J.: On the screen, we have the Ace through 9 of each suit behind the numbers. You may each take up to two consecutive turns.
On the first turn, pick five numbers and if you like the cards hidden behind those card, take the points associated with the hand and pass control on to another player. But if you want to take that second turn, go ahead and make exchanges. Just remember your possession ends with that second turn.

|
|
|
D.J.: As always, you'll need something better than one pair of Jacks to earn any points at all -- or else we take five points away.
Doug: And don't forget, a natural royal flush in this or any other round pays an instant CY$1,000,000.
Doug: Dean, we'll begin with you. First, please tell Mr. & Mrs. Internet and all the ships at sea a little something about you.
Dean: I'm 33 and from Johnston, RI, and I'm currently looking for a position in tech support or help desk. And I am also a retired 'NetGame host.
Doug: Ah, yes, awesome job you did on FastTalkers, Net 10-to-1, Net U.S. MasterMind and more. Let's see if you have better luck with the cards here. Pick five of 'em, please.
Dean: Let's go with 2, 3, 8, 12 and 15.
Doug: Okie doke. Let's have a look at 'em.

Doug: A pair of Aces and that's it. Only worth 5 points. Remember the most points gets the most letters in a head start before the Poker Run begins.
Now I should note you have three Clubs. If you successfully trade in the Hearts for the two remaining Clubs higher than a 9, you win 1000 points and CY$1,000,000. (a few "woos" from the crowd) But, of course, it's your call on how you want to play it.
Dean: I'm surprised you left out 'Net Lingo and 'Net Deal or No Deal.
Doug: Oh, man, those were great, too. How could I forget? I'm terribly sorry -- S-O-R-R-Y.
(audience laughs) (Trivia Trap sfx) (more laughs and applause)
Doug: For those wondering (points to gray hair), this is all real -- not due to the studio lights. (more laughter) Now, back to the game, going for the royal?
Dean: I'm not going for a flush, Doug, sorry. (audience groans) I don't think I'll find that many Clubs.
Doug: How quickly they turn. What'cha gonna do?
Dean: I will keep the Aces and go with 6, 17 and 19.
Doug: OK, basic move. He's assured of at least 5. Are more on the way?

|
|
|
Doug: No, 'fraid not.

Doug: Got a nickel out of that -- and a few laughs at my expense. Still have a ways to go yet. Chris, great to see you back here. You've been tremendous in waiting while we had the Net Definition tournament of champions going on in this studio. You've got to wait a little more while we shuffle.

Doug: OK, before I turn you loose, tell us what you've been up to since we last saw you.
Chris: Well, let's see. I was able to find a new job as a lab technician for a food processing company. And my daughter just turned 5 months ago. She's getting so big. LOL. But it was a nice wait, and I'm very glad to be back here.
Doug: Ah, well happy five months to your daughter. Many there be many more. Five numbers, please.
Chris: Going with 2, 3, 10, 19, 20.
Doug: All righty, then. Let's have a look.
|

Doug: Just Ace high. Minus five if you stopped here. Go ahead and take that second turn. Oh, before you do, I should note you have three Spades. If you successfully trade the Ace and 9 in for the other two Spades higher than a 9, 1000 points and CY$1,000,000.
Chris: I remember doing this last time and it worked out. I will trade the Ace and 9 -- (scattered cheers from the crowd) -- and go with 14 and 24.
Doug: Ah, control room going for the dramatics.
If
