Well-known news magazine.
Doug: Robert.
Robert: Change the D to a T.
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Right you are. I didn't know this. "TIME" is an acronym for "The International Magazine of Events". All these years, TIME really does a great job of keeping its readers abreast.
D.J.: (shakes head) MEN!
Doug: In any event, Robert with the early lead. Next clue.
Citrus fruit.
Doug: John.

|
|
|

Ohio city that's home to the "Glee" kids.
Doug: Evan.
Evan: Change the E to an A.
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: And it's a nice city. Lima is also where the best in-laws, nieces and nephew can be found. Not that I'm biased. (audience laughs) Each player with 20 points. Next clue.
"Stretch" vehicle which can be colored black or white.
Doug: John.
John: Change the A to an O.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Doug: After five words, Robert and John are tied at 30. Evan's at 20. We're now entering the next phase of Video Poker. Deej is over by the big screen with more.

D.J.: All right, Robert, John and Evan, 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: Evan, you have the lowest score -- so you start first. Before you pick some numbers, please tell us something about yourself.
Evan: Hi everybody, my name's Evan Hatfield. I'm a student that enjoys video games, game shows, and comedy, especially improv.
Doug: Various group of interests. Unlike some improv game, the points here *do* matter. Let's see if you can score some more with five cards.
Evan: I'll take 23, 14, 11, 16, and 4.
Doug: Okie doke. Let's take a look.

(FF reveal sfx) (a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: Close to a straight. Reading from top to bottom, left to right, you got a 9, Queen, King, Ace and 10. We'd dock you five points if you stop here.
As you make exchanges, it's worth pointing out you're 2/5 of the way from a royal flush in Hearts. Your call how you play it.
Evan: Audience, if you don't like this, don't hurt me. I'm tossing everything but the Ace and picking 2, 10, 18 and 21.
(a few groans from the crowd)
Doug: Don't worry, Evan, they'll get over it. Let's see if you've managed to trade up with 2, 10, 18 and 21.
|
|
|
|
(FF reveal sfx) (audience applause)
Doug: I'd say so. Total of three Aces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: Brings you up to 35 points. We'll see if that holds up. Tie between Robert and John right now. Since this tie involves the champ, Robert will play next. But first, we've got to shuffle the cards.
|
|
|
|
Doug: And, Robert, since you're on the verge of an undefeated reign, we give you a chance to send shout-outs to friends and loved ones.
Robert: I'd like to send a shout-out to all my followers as GSK's about to conclude its sixth year.
Doug: Congratulations on that. Let's see how you do with the cards.
Robert: #1, #6, #7, #13 and #14.
Doug: Okie doke, we'll take a look.
|

(FF reveal sfx) (audience applause)
Doug: Two cowboys and two niners with a 10. Robert, two pairs mean another 10 points in your coffers if you stop here. Or you may take that second turn and try for something better.
Robert: Dump the 10 for #15.
Doug: All right, 10 of Clubs heads for the dumpster. If a King or 9 is hiding behind 15, you've built a full boat for 40 points. What's behind 15?
