MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

Doug: Well, Rei, we'll see if your half of the round is just as wild.

 

 

Doug: I have a TV Guide listing.  Thursday night, CBS, "Survivor: 
Australian Outback".  The tribe members down under are going one better
than their counterparts from Pulau Tiga.  Instead of eating rats and 
larvae, these folks are eating << BLANK >>.

Doug: OK, Rei, looks like they're all ready.  Let's see how well you
do on this one.

I have a TV Guide listing.  Thursday night, CBS, "Survivor: Australian 
Outback".  The tribe members down under are going one better than their 
counterparts from Pulau Tiga.  Instead of eating rats and larvae, these 
folks are eating << BLANK >>.

Rei: Well, there's a lot of good answers...  Wombats, koalas, the
Crocodile Hunter...  But I'm gonna go with "kangaroos."

(audience applause)

Doug: Kangaroo's a good answer.  However, for my money, there's a 
real hilarious answer.  Let's see if Tom and Frank thought of it.

Frank: OW!

Tom: That's RIGHT, Frank.  I'd say they're eating  "Each 
other".

Frank: DOUBLE OW!

(buzz) (audience laughs and applauds)

Doug: Yup, "each other" -- my answer.  Jay?

Jay:  Well, it sure isn't Lobster Thermadore. Maybe they're eating 
the host with the most, Jeff Probst.

(buzz)

Frank: DOUBLE OW!

Doug: Frank's not a fan of cannibalism, obviously.

Frank: RIGHT!  (audience laughs)

Doug: Over to Kev.

Kevin: I tried to think of something somewhat unappealing yet 
appealing to some. So I said (flips card)

+--------------------------+
|  Chocolate Covered Ants  |
| and a Month old slice of |
|      Anchovy Pizza       |
+--------------------------+

(buzz) (audience boos)

Kevin: Is that a Boo I hear?  (Throws a fastball at the rowdy 
audience member)  Thankfully, I've got 492 left.

Doug: Uh, the bad part is looks like the dude in the third row caught 
it bare-handed and might wanna throw it back.  Anyhoo, over to Ryan.
TV Guide listing, Thursday night, CBS, "Survivor: Australian Outback". 
The tribe members down under are going one better than their 
counterparts from Pulau Tiga.  Instead of eating rats and larvae, 
these folks are eating... what?

Ryan: Well, thanks to multiple viewings of "The Facts of Life Down 
Under". I know that the Australian slang word for food is "tucker". 

So, their "tucker" is... 
+--------------+ 
| Kangaroos    | 
| Zonked out   |    
| By Boomerang | 
+--------------+ 

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Rei's on the board.  And it's a good thing no tribe member in 
the outback has the last name of Tucker.  (audience laughs)
Mystic one, what'cha got for Rei?

Mystic Girl: I know "Survivor," and it seems that some people are 
getting ticked off with, well, you know...one person.  Instead of 
eating rats or larvae, I said that they're eating "Jerri".

(buzz)  (Jerry Depew looks borderline perplexed)  

Jerry: That's with an 'I', right? (audience laughs)

Doug: LOL!  Yup.  The tribe's not after you, my man.  But, call me 
crazy -- I kinda like Jerri.  Any brunette lady in a blue bikini 
grabs my attention.  :)  Jerry with a "Y", finish out the round for us.

Jerry:  I'll have to say the obvious answer... 
+----------+ 
| kangaroo | 
+----------+ 

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Rei takes the lead.  Let's recap the answers and scoring...

 

 

EACH OTHER/OW! | JEFF PROBST | ...ANTS...PIZZA
KANGAROOS... | JERRI | KANGAROO

 

 

Doug: One round's complete and Rei has a one match lead.  But anything
can still happen as we search for a challenger for John Menjes.  Round
2 commences after these words of wisdom from our sponsors.
