Time to search for challengers in the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares

Hour.  As usual, some notes before we commence



\ Our current champion, Michael Clifford, has won enough cyber-cash to

qualify for a berth in our challenge of champions.  He's basically 

jockeying for a better position.  Right now, he has won the second 

highest total of cyber-cash with CY$107,250.  He needs to win more than

CY$32,500 to take the top seed honors.  



\ Regardless of what happens here, in the next episode, Michael will

compete against Andy Geller and Andy Silikovitz for the right to be

crowned überchamp and possibly win CY$100,000 in the super match.



\ Joining our usual suspects on the celebrity panel are Net Gambit's

Robert McBride, Net Countdown's Martin Gardner and the husband and 

wife team from Net Wheel of Fortune, Barry and Nancy Brooks.



Time to look for contestants.  To play the Match Game portion of our

My fiancée and I came back last night (the 4th of July) after a long 

road trip.  How many miles did we add to Cindy's car's odometer?



I documented the trip briefly at...

...on my online jounral (or "blog" for those of you in Magee, MS).



(time passes)



Well, I did most of the driving and it seemed a bit longer.  However,

the trip lasted for...

(ding)



...1053 miles.  Who's the closest?



Kourtney Wilson			1095

(NMG-HSH sign rises; MG-esque doors open; Ryan and Doug are 

welcomed to an ecstatic crowd, walk down the stairs, shake hands)



Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart.  Helloooooooooo, everybody

and welcome another Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour.



Ryan: Our current champion, Michael Clifford, is already in our

champions' special.  He needs to rack up more than CY$32,500 to take

top seed honors.



Doug: And the winner of Match Game's going to be Michael's next 

opponent in Hollywood Squares.  Of course, we can't play either 

without stars.  So, hello stars!

 

 

 

 

Panel: (more or less in unison) Hello, Ryan and Doug.



Doug: Looks like they're ready.  Let's play!  



(audience cheers)  (Ryan and Doug shake hands)  (Ryan walks over

to "the Morris chair" among the panel)  (Doug walks over to the

Match Game players' desks)



Doug: Let's keep up the enthusiasm as we welcome Kourtney Wilson

and Gus Polly.

 

 

 

(audience cheers) 



Doug: Before we begin, we always like to get acquainted.  Kourtney,

tells us the story of your life in eight simseconds.



Kourtney: Hi, Doug, my nake is Kourtney Wilson.  I am 19 years old 

and a student at Georgia Military College.  I really can use some

cash at this point.  



Doug: Well, of course you know, you're playing for virtual funds.

We just play for fun and no real money here.  In any event, we

wish you good luck.  Gus, a word or two about you.



Josh: I live near Medina, Ohio, and I enjoy game shows, doing stuff

on the Internet, and doing stuff on the Internet pertaining to game 

shows. Aside from that, I'm going to be a senior in high school, and 

I'm in the school marching band, Academic Challenge team, drama club, 

and NHS.



Doug: Well, nice to have you here from Medina.  Good luck in your

studies.  Players, here's how we play Match Game.  You'll each have

three chances to match as many...

 

 

 

 

Doug: ...of these runners-up to Ken Jennings as you possibly can.

(light laughter from the crowd)  Each time you match a star, you

win CY$100.  Match everyone and your total goes up to CY$1000.

The player who has matched more stars at the end of the third round

wins the game and plays against Michael Clifford in Hollywood 

Squares.
