Doug: Doubled up to 20 points. We'll see if that holds up. Raymond, your turn to bat after we shuffle 'em up.

Doug: Now before we turn you loose, let's get the Raymond Weaver story.
Raymond: My name is Raymond Weaver, I'm 22 years old and I'm an aspiring baker.
Doug: Aspiring baker. Ohhhhh, see me after the show. Perhaps we can get you to make a cake for some bikini-clad girl to jump out of.
(audience laughs; men in the crowd cheer)
D.J.: (shakes head) MEN!!!
Doug: Before we get in trouble with Deej, please pick five numbers.
Raymond: 3, 8, 11, 14, 22.
Doug: All right, let's have a look.

|
Doug: Pair of Aces. Raymond, if you stopped here, you'd have five more points and clinch second place ahead of the Poker Run. Might as well make exchanges.
Raymond: Keep the Aces and go with 4, 12 and 21.
Doug: Again, going with the basic strategy. What joins the Aces -- if anything?

(FF reveal sfx) (scattered applause)
Doug: A third Ace. You've got the lead.

Doug: All right. Raymond now with 25 points. The others tied at 20. But Brian's about to go to bat. Maybe we'll have a tie for first. Let's see after we shuffle.

Doug: And we're all set. First, let's get the Brian Moore story.
Brian: Hello Doug, I'm from Cloquet, Minnesota. I'm a fan of game shows, stand-up comedy, and Conan O'Brien.
Doug: I've like Conan's work as well. Shame NBC gave him the shaft after that "Tonight Show" debacle. Brighter days have since come for him. Brian, give numbers, please.
Brian: I will choose 5, 22, 13, 14 and 9.
Doug: OK, let's take a look.

Doug: Two Aces for five points. Brian, if you stopped right now, you and Raymond would each have 25 points. With Robert's 20, that means we'd spot Robert with one letter in the Poker Run, Raymond with two letters and you with two letters as well.
Then again, if you think you can do better than a pair of Aces, go back to the board and exchange cards.
Brian: I'll keep the two Aces and exchange the rest for 11, 19, and 6.
Doug: Very well. The two R's, Raymond and Robert, want to see nothing join the Aces. You want to see something to join the pair. Let's see what's behind 6, 11 and 19.
