He was number 4 in the program and number 1 in the hearts of the fans of the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons and Jets? Eh, maybe not so much. Name this quarterback.
Doug: Dom.
Dom: Brett Favre.
Doug: That's right.
Doug: Dom with the early lead. Next question for all.
He was half of "Simon & Simon", starred in the title role of "Major Dad" and was in the cast of the short-lived series "Undercovers". Name this Collins native.
Doug: Dom again.
Dom: Gerald McRaney.
Doug: Right again.

Doug: I remember when Gerald and Delta were grand marshals at a downtown festival in Collins. Fun day. Andy, Brian, I see ya try to chime in. Dom's just beatin' you to the punch. Let's see if one of you can beat him to the punch on this.
A longtime CNN correspondent, she wrote a book about how Hurricane Katrina devastated her hometown of Bay St. Louis. Name this Southern Miss graduate.
Doug: Brian.
Brian: Soledad O'Brien.
Doug: Oh, sorry. Looking for Kathleen Koch. Gotta take 10 away. Dom with 30, Andy with 10, Brian, let's see if you can get back on the scoreboard.
This Purvis native's first major TV role was Claudia in "Party of Five". Who is this actress?
Doug: And it's Dom.
Dom: Lacey Chabert.
Doug: Correct.
Doug: Says on my card Lacey's now 28. 'Scuse me I feel another gray hair coming. (light laughter from the crowd) One more question before we go to the video screen.
This quarterback, who played his college ball at Alcorn State, helped make sure Tennesseeans would always remember the Titans. Name this native of Mount Olive -- who died in 2009.

Doug: Dom with a big 50 points. Andy with his original 10. Brian with a lot of nothing. But a chance to turn nothing into something with Deej.

D.J.: All right, gents, since you've been here before, I'll briefly remind you you'll each take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen. On your first turn, you'll draw five cards and try to make the best possible hand you can. If you're not happy with it, you may take the second turn and exchange some or all of your cards for new ones.

|
|
D.J.: And there's the break down. You need to do better than a pair of Jacks to earn any points at all.
Doug: And remember the bonus for a natural royal flush in any round -- CY$1,000,000. (audience cheers) Brian, no points to your name at the present time. Let's see if you have better luck with the cards.
Brian: Okay -- 3, 8, 11, 15, and 22
Doug: Okie doke. Let's have a look.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well, ya got some potential. Three Kings; find a fourth and you'll win 125 points. In addition, you have two Diamonds and two Clubs; potential for a straight or royal flush.
Then again, you *could* quit here, take 15 points and have second place for the moment. How do you want to play it?
Brian: Okay I'll keep the cowboys and take 18 and 24.
Doug: All right, that's how I'd play it. You've got three cowboys. Is the fourth behind 18 or 24?

Doug: No -- but you found both ladies in black. That's a full boat.

(ding) (scattered applause)
Doug: Not enough for the lead. But if you can maintain second place, you'll get one head start letter in the Poker Run. Andy is about to say something about that. First, let's shuffle 'em up.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Andy's going for his third straight win and trying to add to winnings that total CY$97,200 -- including a trip to Montreal he won the last time out. Champ, the board awaits your selections.
Andy: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21
Doug: The 1, the 6 and the others that end in 1 or 6. Let's see how those work.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Well -- some potential for you. Trip Aces -- find a fourth for 125 additional points. Two high Clubs -- so that's a royal potential.
If you stopped right now, you'd earn 15 more points and secure last place -- and something tells me you're not going to do that. What say ye?
Andy: Looking for the fourth Ace. I'll throw out the 9 and the King and exchange them for 12 and 24.
Doug: Again, that would be my move. Behind the multiples of 12 we find...
