Doug: Now it's time now for you to pick a star to multiply that moolah

and match head-to-head...

 

Michael: Tom & Frank Hornikel



Doug: Or Tom Hornikel and Frank, as the case may be.  In any event, Frank,

how about you lift the tab and see how much we're playing for.

(ding)



Doug: Thirty -- times CY$250 means you're head-to-head question's

worth...

(ding; audience applause)



Doug: ...CY$7500.  Michael, whether or not you win this bank, you'll

have the second seed in the champions' special -- with still one more

chance to play Hollywood Squares in a regular episode and add to the

winnings.  But that's the future, here's the present and the question.

As you know, we must have exact matches.  Spelling doesn't matter...

______DIPPING

Doug: << BLANK >> Dipping.  That's D-I-P-P-I-N-G.  << BLANK >> Dipping.

Frank: WOW!



Tom: Frank, you are supposed to be quiet during the h2h round.



Frank: NO!



(light laughter)



Doug: May we continue?



Frank: RIGHT!



Doug: OK, Michael, for CY$7500, what'cha think?  << BLANK >> Dipping. 



Michael: double dipping



(audience applause)



Doug: Mmm'kay.  I'm a little surprised you went that route.  But, it's

a good answer....



Let's 



see 



if 



Tom 



and 



Frank



come



up



with



the



answer



that



will



win



you



seven-



thousand



five-



hundred



cyber-



dollars.



Fellas,



do



you



match



Michael?









Frank: NO!



Tom: (shows card)



(*(*(*( SKINNY )*)*)*)

(buzz; audience groans; TPiR losing horns)



Doug: Oh, darn it.  I think I figured out what happened.  Michael,

you were trying to match them since Frank occasionally says 

"*double* wow" -- and they were trying to match you because you want

to see Deborah JoAnn D.J. Hamilton -- skinny dipping.  Well, such as

it is, no match.  Before we move further, let's see who had 50?

 

 

(ding)



Doug: The other Tom had it.  Michael, we're about to play the

cyber-phone match.  As we do, something to ponder.  Take a look at

our current champions' special standings...



1. ANDY GELLER...................CY$139,750

2. MICHAEL CLIFFORD..............CY$107,250

3. ANDY SILIKOVITZ...............CY$101,600

Doug: ...and with it, the tournament bracket.  Michael, if you'd

like, you may forfeit your championship and have the champions'

special start on the next show.  



If you decide to turn in your championship crown now, you'd

play against Andy Silikovitz in Match Game -- with the winner

playing against Andy Geller in Hollywood Squares.  



Or, you may come back as the returning champion, play in a

regular episode and defend your crown against the winner of

the next Match Game.  To take top seed honors, you'd have to

win another CY$32,500 or more. 



Give it some thought and when we come back, we'll play the

CY$5000 cyber-phone match and get Michael's decision.  Stay with

us.
