And we're back with the qualifying results. How much in greenbacks did Bob Barker and company give away Friday (11/15/02) on TPiR?
(ding) Only a grand. No perfect bids in contestants' row, no bonus money from the big wheel. The only cash payout came from Spelling Bee when the player elected to stop and take $1000 after seeing three A's. FWIW, she thought about stopping after the second A and taking 1500. But, the audience talked her into going on. Either way, the wiser decison was to stop and take the money. She ended up drawing four A's and one C. Anyhoo, who's playing our cyber-phone match? Robert McBride $1,100.00 Robert! Any relation to Martina? Either way, you're CY$500 richer. A chance at a lot more comes in just a moment. ====================================================================== Voice guy: Net ShowDown's Holiday Audience Game -- this December from Trax Productions on VBS. ====================================================================== (audience applauds; MG-HSH music plays) Doug: And welcome back everyone. We've got some extra time to fill before we roll that movie with Ryan and Seth. Before we do, a proper intro for our other three friends for HS. Ghost of Jay Stewart, who's here? TGoJS: From VBS MarketWatch, Dana Epstein. From Net Fast and First, Tom Sabbatelli. And from FastTalkers, Chico Alexander.
(audience cheers) Doug: Good to have you all here. All nine of you will try to win cyber-money with our cyber-phone player, Robert McBride! (audience cheers) (Doug picks up cell phone) Doug: Robert, tell us a little something about yourself. Robert: I’m a student at Varina High School, and I love to watch wrestling, baby!! Doug: Rasslin', eh. Maybe you can win enough cyber-cash to treat you and your friends to a WWE event. Robert, you're playing the extended cyber-phone match and let me tell you how it works. Regardless of what happens, you're winning CY$500. I'm about to pose a standard MG fill-in-the-blank question to you and all nine celebrities. Robert, each time you match a celebrity, you win an additional CY$100. If you match everyone, we'll augment your winnings to CY$2500. (audience cheers) And that's not all, the more cyber- dollars you win, the higher your head-to-head bank will be because we'll multiply your winnings by ten to determine the value of your super match question. So, potentially, you could win CY$25,000 on one match. (more cheers) But, before we get to that, we gotta start with this question. Everyone on the panel, please put virtual pen to paper with this... The movie usher said to the nudist, "Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your << BLANK >>." (MG '7x cowbell think music plays)
Doug: And we're all ready for you, Robert. Here's the question one more time... The movie usher said to the nudist, "Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your << BLANK >>." Robert: Butt (audience groans) Doug: Umm... not quite the punchline we were going for. I have a hunch somewhere in this sea of celebrity we'll hear *the* answer. We'll start way up top with Dana. Dana: Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your +---------+ | | | stub | +---------+ (buzz) (audience cheers) Doug: There's the answer! I asked to see your *ticket*, not your *stub*. Get it? There's a play on words. On to Tom. Tom: Doug, I'm surprised we're exposing students to this kinds of questions! Doug: Eh, he watches wrestling. That gets pretty racy. Tom: And you wonder why society is spiraling down...it all stems from this show! :P (audience laughs) Anyway, going with society on this one, assuming this nudist had a growth problem, the usher said, "I don't want to see your STUB!" (take that wherever you will, folks) :) (buzz) Doug: Another stub. We move onward to Chico. Chico: I'm not going there... I'll go here... **flips** Boobies ... but not there. (buzz) Doug: I'd believe it if the nudist were a she -- but it's a he. Onward to Mark. Mark: This wouldn't happen to have been the same theatre that Pee Wee was at when he was caught doing you know what? Doug: Mmmm... no. But either way, Paul Reubens *does* know jack. (audience laughs and applauds) Anyhoo, back to the question. The movie usher said to the nudist, "Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your << BLANK >>." And Robert said "butt". What did you say? Doug: Well, it certainly wasn't a candy bar... (flip) (MG98 "censored" cuckoo) (buzz) (audience goes wild) Doug: Mark, don't encourage those college co-eds in the front row! Jay? Jay: (flip) (MG98 "censored" cuckoo) (buzz) Doug: For those of you wondering, Jay's answer's similar to the censored response from Mark. Over to Seth. Seth: Erm... It's official, my answers have degraded to MG '98 level. Ah well... (MG98 "censored" cuckoo) (buzz) (audience laughs) Doug: Well, the question sorta leads to MG'98-esque humor, I'll admit. Everyone in the middle row matched, BTW. Over to Ryan now. The movie usher said to the nudist, "Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your butt," according to Robert. What according to you? Ryan: BUTT (ding) (audience cheers) Doug: Ryan comes through in the clutch! OK, Robert, you're up to 600 as we move on to Dean. Dean: It's very small....his... +------+ | STUB | +------+ If you know what I mean.... (buzz) Doug: Another stub. Last chance for a butt with Matt. Matt: Sheesh, when did this move to the 'Net Playboy Channel? Doug: Hey, don't knock it. The playmates are back stage. :) (audience cheers) Matt: Dirty, dirty, dirty.... He showed him his (MG98 "censored" cuckoo) (buzz) Doug: And that's everyone. You matched just one star. That match is worth CY$100 plus the CY$500 gives you CY$600 and a chance at CY$6000.
(ding) Doug: But wait! You could still win CY$25,000 and here's how. One of our nine celebs is seated in our cyber-phone match secret square. If Ryan's in that secret square, we leave the CY$600 you currently have alone -- but the bank goes from CY$6000 to CY$25,000. (audience cheers) It's a slim chance -- but not impossible. So, let's light up our secret square, please...
STUB | STUB | BOOBIES
(censored) | (censored) | (censored)
BUTT | STUB | (censored)Robert's response: BUTT
(buzz) Doug: Nope. Missed it by a row. It's Mark who's in the secret square. OK, the head-to-head question's still worth CY$6000. To collect, you must match one celebrity exactly. Robert, who do you want to team up with? Robert: Doug, I’ll go with Ryan. Doug: Turning to Ryan Morris for help with breaking the bank. Here's the CY$6000 question...ABRAHAM_________ Doug: Abraham << BLANK >>. That's A-B-R-A-H-A-M. Abraham << BLANK >>. (MG '76 Super Match think music plays)
(ding) Doug: OK, Robert. Ryan's card is in the slot. Whatever answer you have in mind, please share it with us now. Abraham << BLANK >>. Robert: That would be Lincoln. (audience cheers) Doug: Everybody loves that answer, Raymond -- uhhh, Robert. (audience laughs) Anyway. Ryan, if you also thought of Honest Abe, Robert's winning CY$6000. Ryan: LINCON (ding) (audience applause; slot machine payoff sfx; MG-HSH win music plays) Doug: All right, congrats, Robert. Six-grand here plus the 600 earlier gives you a total of CY$6600. (Earl runs up to the stage) Earl's going to take the phone from me and we'll get that check out in the mail to you. Big hand for Robert McBride, everyone. (audience cheers) Well, it's time for us to go for now. But we shall reconvene soon for Hollywood Squares and Ryan plus our competing Andys. Andy Silikovitz is one win away from an undefeated reign, Andy Geller's in his way. We'll see what happens on our next show. Don't miss out -- or else, you're << BLANKED >>! Ryan: I agree. Doug: The movie with Ryan and Seth's next. Make it a great day and keep the faith. (audience applause) (credits roll)
