Doug: Now we decide who wins this round with another Poker Run.

 

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: In this Poker Run, the players build on their current point totals in a race to 100 points. Each question is worth at least 15 points. If one of the next two cards is a face card, we play for 20 points a question. If both are royalty, it's 25 a question.

Let's have the cards, please, for the Poker Run.

D.J.: The Queen of Diamonds and the 9 of Spades.

Doug: So the lady in red boosts the value to 20 a question. Evan, that means you need three correct answers to face Robert in Joker Poker. John, you'll need four right answers.

Hands back on the buzzers, please, because the Poker Run stars -- NOW!

(John buzzes in)

Doug: John.

John: Kelly Ripa.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. Wouldn't it have made sense to have Faith Ford play Faith? No wonder it lasted just three seasons.

(light laughter from the crowd)

Doug: Next question...

Doug: That's right.

Beaver Cleaver is to Wally Cleaver as Sherlock Holmes is to...

(John buzzes in)

Doug: John.

John: Mycroft Holmes.

(ding)

Doug: *That's* right. We're comparing fictional male characters to their older brothers. John's one away from winning. John still needs two.

In NATO's phonetic alphabet, A to Alfa as Z is to...

(John buzzes in)

Doug: John for the round.

John: Zulu.

Doug: John, let's see if you can top off a win here with CY$7500. It's behind one of those letters in "POKER". Which one?

John: The E, please.

Doug: The E hides what?
