MG tie-BREAKER

 

 

Doug: OK, here's how we break this here tie.  Stars, here's the 
question -- "Pink << BLANK >>". 

(stars write)

Doug: As they write, Steve and Michael, here's how this works. 
Take a look at your secret screens... 

PINK________

1	CADILLAC
2	FLOYD
3	LEMONADE
4	PANTHER

Doug: There's the tie-breaker question again.  Below that question,
you see four different answers that fill in the blank.  You'll each 
pick one answer.  Then, we'll check the answers from the panel.  
Each time a celebrity matches your answer, you score a point. 
Player with more points at the end of the tie-breaker wins Match 
Game, CY$500 for winning the game and the right to play Hollywood 
Squares against Robert.  Steve, you get to pick first.  Please lock 
in an answer -- #1, #2, #3 or #4.

 

 

(Steve presses #2 on his keypad) (ding)

Steve: Also...could the Michael Jackson Trial have been subtitled 
"Feel or No Feel"?  (audience groans)  I'm awful...

Doug: The audience seems to agree.  Michael, you get to pick from
the remaining answers.

 

 

(Michael presses #4 on his keypad) (ding)

Doug: Very well.  Now, four matches will automatically send you
to Hollywood Squares.

 

 

 

 

Doug: We're all set.  Will, we start with you.

Will: Hey, Doug?  Now that Tom Cruise and company have their
kid, shall we call the kid's hair her "fringe"?

(audience groans)

Doug: Oh, get on with it!
 
Will: We don't need no education... PINK FLOYD. 

 

 

(ding)

Doug: That's one point for Steve.  Jay?

Jay: Doug, I'm running out of lame jokes here. I'll keep 
coming up with them whether I'm tired or otherwise. Thats right, 
say it with me folks...Zeal or No Zeal!  (audience laughs)

+-------+
|  ELE- |
| PHANT |
+-------+

Doug: No zeal -- and no match.  Chris?

Chris: (card) 

+----------+
| CADILLAC |
+----------+

Doug: Michael didn't pick that answer -- and we obviously
know that doesn't match Steve, who still leads one-nil. Ryan?

Ryan: (card)

+--------+
| Ranger |
+--------+

Doug: Still no match for Michael.  Michael, you must match Dean
and Adam to win.  Dean?

Dean: (card)

+---------+
| PANTHER |
+---------+

 

 

(ding) (smattering of applause)

Doug: "Panther" was Michael's selection.  We're now tied...

Adam,

if

you

said

"Pink

Floyd",

Steve

wins;

if

you

said

"Pink

Panther",

Michael

wins;

otherwise

we

go

to

another

tie-

breaker.

What

did

you

say?

Adam: (card)

+---------+
| PANTHER |
+---------+

Doug: And Michael wins it at the last second!

 

 

(dings; audience applause; MG-HSH win music plays)

 

 

FLOYD | ELEPHANT | CADILLAC
RANGER | PANTHER | PANTHER

Steve's response: FLOYD
Michael's response: PANTHER

(MG variant plays)

 
Doug: Michael, join me here on the blue dot.  (Michael and
Steve shake hands; Michael walks over and stands on the blue dot 
next to Doug)  Steve, I thought "Pink Floyd" would've won, too.
But I'm biased on that view since I've played their music for
umpteen years.  You still keep the CY$500 -- and there's more
good news.  There was an irregularity in game play -- and
because this was such a close game, we're letting you back on
the next show.  So, this is just "bye for now".  Steve Michaels
everyone.

(audience cheers) (MG desks and toaster roll toward stage left)
