Doug: ...we deposit CY$1000 into the bank.  Now, let's see if you can

turn that grand into 50-grand and then break that bank.  Here's how... 

 

Doug: ...four of our stars have the number 20, four others have the

number 30, one has the big five-oh.  Your selected star's multiplier 

will determine how much higher the bank will grow and determine the 

value of this head-to-head question.  If you find the 50, you're 

going for CY$50,000.  Pick a star, please.



John: C'mon Jay, show me that 50!



Doug: You heard the man, Jay.  Let's see if there's a 50...

(ding)



Doug: ...eh, well, off by 30.  Twenty times 1000 means...

(ding; audience applause)



Doug: ...a rather nice payday for CY$20,000.  John and Jay, 

please know we must have an exact match.  Spelling doesn't matter.  

Here's the query...

Doug: Desperate << BLANK >>.  That's D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E 

<< BLANK >>.  Desperate << BLANK >>.

Doug: And Jay's written down his answer on the card.  John,

we now call for your answer for CY$20,000.  Desperate 

<< BLANK >>.



John: Housewives.



(audience cheers)



Doug: "Desperate Housewives".  Oddly enough, I talked with

an old friend of mine the other day.  He says the show's

so good, he wants to take up gardening again.  (audience

laughs)  Anyway...





If





Jay





said





"Housewives",





you'll





win





twenty-





thousand

bucks

Jay: My first thought was Desperate Measures, and Uncle Gene always

said go with your first thought. Which is why I wrote...

Jay: Housewives

(John shakes Doug's hand; then runs up to Jay's square and 

thanks him for saying "Dog"; John returns center stage)



Doug: Another CY$20,000 for you, John.  Congratulations.  Before

we start to wrap this up, who had the 50?

 

 

Doug: Dana Epstein had that magic number.  We'll take a quick break 

and wrap up this hour after this.
