Doug: On a personal note, I thank everyone for their patience.  As
you know, this tournament was delayed due to my wife's illness and
eventual death.  Also, we dedicated this tournament to Cindy's
memory.  As we close out this third Champions' Special, I want to
flash back to a much happier time -- when our marriage was just a
few weeks old -- and Cindy joined in on our fun.

(clip from Head-To-Head match rolls)

Andy: Let's go with Cindy again !

Doug: Going with Cindy.  The Helen Rayburn to my Gene Rayburn.  The
Betty White to my Allen Ludden.  What'cha got for Andy?

Cindy: Getting back to "The Amazing Race", I want to reveal my
number like Greg opened his first envelope in one leg of the seventh
race.  "Big bucks, big bucks, big bucks, no whammies."

(audience laughs)

(ding) (audience cheers)

Doug: Well, not the biggest bucks -- but certainly far from a 
whammy.

(ding)

Doug: You're going to try to match Cindy for CY$30,000.  You know
how to do this, Andy.  Cindy, please write down your best response
to this head-to-head question -- and then I'll call for Andy's
response.  The question...

_______FLAG

Doug: << BLANK >> Flag.  That's F-L-A-G.  << BLANK >> Flag.

(MG '76 Super Match think music plays) (Cindy scribbles 
something down...shows answer to Ryan and Dean who nod in
agreement she wrote down a good answer...then she puts the
card in the slot)

(ding)

Doug: OK, Cindy's ready with her answer and we're ready for
yours.  For CY$30,000, what's the winning answer to 
"<< BLANK >> Flag"?

Andy: Wow, so many good choices.... not an easy one at 
all..... but I have to go with AMERICAN Flag.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Seems you've matched the audience.  But, you have to
match Cindy for CY$30,000.  Sweetheart, it's moment of truth
time.  Show us that card please.

Cindy: (sighs) Oh, Andy, you're right about one thing.  There
were lots of choices.  I'm a Jeff Gordon fan -- and I thought of
the checkered flag he captured at this year's Daytona 500.

Doug: Darn it. 

Cindy: Wait, honey, I'm not done.  I was about to say Jeff won the
great... (card)

Cindy: ...American race.

(audience applause; slot machine payoff sfx; MG-HSH win music plays)

(clip ends) (fade to Doug)

Doug: Cindy may have played with us in the netgames world just that 
one time -- but I'm certainly grateful she was part of our world
then.  I'm more grateful she was part of my world for more than
four years as friend, my girlfriend, my fiancée -- or my wife.

Thanks to all for your continued prayers, make it a great day, 
keep the faith -- and richly treasure your loved ones.
