Doug: Robert.
Robert: Jerry Springer.
Doug: That's right.
Doug: The j, the lady's "hair" and the E for "Jerry". The letters sp plus a ring and an ear -- all adds up to Jerry Springer. Have a look at the next rebus.
![]()
Doug: Robert again.
Robert: Income Tax.
Doug: Right again.
Doug: Just as everyone's W-2 forms are printed out at work, right? (a few laughs and groans from the crowd) The "inn" sign plus the "comb" for "income"; the "t" next to the "axe". Income tax.
Robert's up to 30 points. Kevin and Michael still at 10. Night's still young as we look at our third rebus.
![]()
Doug: And it's Robert.
Robert: Zamboni.
Doug: Got it again.
Doug: The z, the "ham", the "bone" and the E give us Zamboni. Let's give you the fourth rebus.
![]()
Doug: And it's Robert.
Robert: Club Sandwich.
Doug: Man's batting a thousand. Right again.
Doug: The club pip, the s, the ampersand for "and" and a witch on the end. OK, Robert with 50 points, the others still tied at 10. Last rebus of the round.
![]()
Doug: And it's Michael.
Michael: (Scottish accent) That would be "Sean Connery", Trebek! (audience laughs and applauds)
Doug: Oh give him 10 points.
KEVIN ROBERT MICHAEL ![]()
![]()
![]()
Doug: The sh and the on switch for "Sean". Then we have the con, the oar and the letter E for Sean Connery.
As we end this first phase of the round, Robert with 50, Michael with 20, Kevin's still at 10. Anything can happen as we move into our second phase with Deej.

D.J.: All right, Kevin, Robert and Michael, behind these numbers are the Ace through 9 of each of the four suits. Each of you may take up to two consecutive turns at the video screen. On your first turn, you may select up to five numbers and we'll reveal the cards hidden behind the numbers.
If you like the hand you've made, take its value in points and pass control to another player. If you want to try to improve your hand, you may exchange some or all cards for new ones.

D.J.: Remember, you need something better than just one pair of Jacks to score any points at all -- or else you lose five points.
Doug: And remember, a natural royal flush in this or any other round means you win a bonus of CY$1,000,000.
Doug: Kevin, you'll start first. Before you do, for those who might have missed the show you won, tell Mr. and Mrs. Internet and all the ships at sea something about yourself.
Kevin: I'm Kevin, a recent college graduate who now has a job as a part-time accountant for a local firm.
Doug: Best of luck in that job and your future pursuits. Let's see how lucky you get with the cards. Five numbers, please.
Kevin: I pick 4, 17, 18, 20 and 24.
Doug: Okie doke, let's reveal the cards behind those numbers.

Doug: Two cowboys, two 10s and a fish hook. Kevin, if you stopped here, we add 10 points to your score. You may trade some or all cards for new ones. What's your pleasure?
Kevin: I'll trade the Jack for what's behind number 8.
Doug: Throwing the Jack away. If there's a 10 or King behind the 8, you'll have 40 more points. What's behind 8?

(FF reveal sfx) (a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: Well, it's an even trade, if anything. One black jack for the other.
KEVIN ROBERT MICHAEL ![]()

Doug: Gives you 20 points, Kevin. Now, before we go any further, it's been brought to my attention that we had a technical mishap on the second rebus. It's not affecting the order of who's going first, second and third in this part of the round. But 10 points could make a difference in the Poker Run.
KEVIN ROBERT MICHAEL ![]()

Doug: So, the best thing to do in fairness to everyone is negate that second rebus. Robert, this means we have to take back 10 points. Hands back on the buzzers, please, because here comes our substitute rebus on the big screen.
![]()
Doug: Robert.
Robert: Ratuki.
Doug: Those 10 points were destined to be yours. You're right and back up to 50.
