(ding; audience applause; MG-HSH win music plays)

Doug: Well, how ya like that?

(John walks over to shake hands with Ryan; comes back to Doug)

Doug: I was thinking Main Street would end up on top.  But Ryan came
through for you on the audience match.  You're up to CY$9050 and we
probably oughta nickname Earl "Ali Baba".

Ryan: Why's that?

Doug: Well, think about it.  He did open "Sesame", didn't he?
(audience boos)  Please, if you're going to throw something at me,
throw money.  (audience laughs)  Speaking of "throw money", John,
you've just won CY$1000 and that means we seed the head-to-head
bank with...

(ding)

Doug: CY$1000.  Now that bank is guaranteed to swell tenfold.  But,
you could escalate the bank to CY$30,000.  And here's how...

 

Doug: Four of our celebrities have been secretly assigned the number
10, four others have 20, one has that big fat three-oh.  You'll pick
a star to team up with in this head-to-head match.  Whatever number he
reveals, you'll be playing for that much in thousands of cyber-dollars.
You want to pick someone who you think will help you out the most -- 
but at the same time, you want to find the big cheese.  Who do you 
want to team up with in this head-to-head match?

John: Ryan, let's see if you're holding the 30x multiplier.

Doug: He had the 30 in the last super match.  Does lightning strike 
twice at the Morris chair?

(Ryan

crosses

his

fingers

and

pulls

the

tab...)

Doug: Nope.  But the next best thing.  A 20.  Meaning...

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: ...you're playing for CY$20,000.  This will still make a nice pay
day if you strike gold here, John.  Ryan, get ready to write down
your answer.  John, here is your question for twenty-grand...

Doug: << BLANK >> Twain.  That's T-W-A-I-N.  << BLANK >> Twain.

(MG '76 Super Match think music plays)

(ding)

Doug: OK, Ryan's in with his answer.  We now call for yours.  If you
come up with the answer Ryan wrote down, you'll win another CY$20,000.
<< BLANK >> Twain.

John: I'm going to say Shania Twain.

(audience applause)

Doug: A good answer indeed.  She's a popular female vocalist.  If 
that's what Ryan had in mind, you collect the twenty-thou.  Ryan?

Doug: Daggummit!

(buzz; audience groans; TPiR losing horns)

Doug: Well, no one did anything wrong.  If there was going to be a 
mismatch, it was going to be between those two answers.  (more groans)
John, despite this endgame, you still have a lot of reasons to be 
happy.  You're the champ, you'll come back on the next show to defend 
the title.  Let's take a break, regroup and punctuate this edition 
of NMG-HSH -- right after this.

(audience applauds; MG-HSH music plays)
