Doug: King of Diamonds. Full boat.

Doug: John, that means you're going to need to build a full boat to tie Robert ahead of the Poker Run. Anything better than a full boat gives you the outright advantage ahead of the Poker Run. Let's shuffle the cards.

Doug: All right, cards are in place. John, introduce yourself, please, to Mr. and Mrs. Internet and all the ships at sea.
John: I'm John Menjes from Hollywood, Florida. My hobbies include bicycling, puzzle solving, reading, and everything Walt Disney World.
Doug: Wide variety of interests. Draw five cards, please.
John: I'll go with 10, 1, 19, 8, and 2 please.
Doug: Okie doke, let's have a look.

(FF reveal sfx) (a few woos; many applaud in the crowd)
Doug: Well, *you're* starting out with two pairs -- Aces and tens.
Make a full house and you and Robert will each have two free letters in the Poker Run with Evan receiving one letter. If you want to go for something better than a full boat and succeed, given the quirks of the rules, you'll have at least three letters, Robert one and Evan none.
I'm going to assume you don't want to stop here.
John: I'd like to drop the spade 9 and take what's behind 17, please.
Doug: All right, the 9's outta there. If there's an Ace or 10 behind 17, we have co-leaders going into the Poker Run. What's there?

(FF reveal sfx) (audience groans)
Doug: Queen of Hearts. No full boat. Well, that means 10 more points and second place to yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doug: That completes our second phase of the round. Now to the phase that determines our winner of the round -- the Poker Run.
|
|
|
|
Doug: It's a race to collect five letters in the word "POKER". Our top two scorers in points get head starts.
|
|
|

Doug: Robert, since you had the most points, we give you two free letters. John, you had the second highest point total; we give you one free letter. Evan, you're starting from scratch -- but anything can happen.
In the Poker Run, the objective is to correctly complete analogies. If you chime in with the right answer, you collect a letter. The first to collect all five letters wins the round and a possible CY$7500.
Hands back on the buzzers -- because the Poker Run starts -- NOW!
In basketball, a coach making the letter "T" with his hands is to a timeout as a referee making the letter "T" with his hands is to a...
Doug: Evan.
Evan: Technical foul.
Doug: That's right.
An exocannibal is to enemies as an indocannibal is to...
Doug: Robert.
Robert: Friends?

Doug: That's right. We're comparing certain type of cannibals to who they eat. Moral of the story: Don't make friends with a cannibal. (audience laughs) Next analogy.
"The Simpsons" is to "The Tracey Ullman Show" as "Beavis and Butt-Head" is to...
Doug: Robert again.
Robert: "King of the Hill"?
Doug: Good guess -- but we're looking for "Liquid Television". We're comparing an animated series to where it started.
