Doug: (pushes button on toaster revealing Round 3 questions) One round to go in Match Game. Michael's hoping for a tie-breaker before we go to the finals. Which do you think will help you get there. A or B? Michael: Let's see if the reverse psychology can help out again. I'll go with B. Doug: (grabs B) B it is. (walks to panel)
Doug: Troy, you'll lay out since you match Michael earlier. For the rest of you, here's your assignment. Dumb Donald and Dumb Dora are so dumb... Everyone else in unison: HOW DUMB ARE THEY?!?!?! Doug: ...they were the first team to be "Philiminated" on "The Amazing Race". When they were instructed to fly to St. Petersburg, Russia, they instead flew to St. Petersburg, << BLANK >>. (MG '7x wank think music plays)
Doug: OK, now that we're all set, I want to talk about Cindy for a moment. I have to note this question on "The Amazing Race" was prepared well in advance. And if you remember when Cindy was part of a previous episode of NMG-HSH, you'll recall she was a big fan of TAR. With that said, I want to send a special hello to the My Mother's Heart Foundation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It's an organization raising awareness of heart disease in women. Very early on in 2007, before Cindy was hospitalized, I'd heard they were in the early stages of planning their own charity run of "The Amazing Race" and they were looking at getting Lake and Michelle from Season 9 involved. I told Cindy about it and between that and the "All-Star" show on CBS, she was really looking forward to everything. The folks at My Mother's Heart were stunned as everyone else to learn about Cindy's untimely passing. So thanks to them -- and to all of you -- for thinking about Cindy. (audience respectfully applauds) Doug: OK, awkward transition. But let's get back to the game. Michael, need to match the rest of the panel to send this to a tie-break. Dumb Donald and Dumb Dora are so dumb, they were the first team to be "Philiminated" on "The Amazing Race". When they were instructed to fly to St. Petersburg, Russia, they instead flew to St. Petersburg, << BLANK >>. Michael: Doug, I don't think the audience is going to boo me this time. I'm ready for the tiebreaker. I will say Florida. (audience cheers) Doug: Good answer -- but don't count your chickens before they hatch. Someone here may come up with a *real* creative answer. What, I don't know. But Florida's certainly the definitive answer. Let's start with Jay Lewis. Jay Lewis: Hopefully they at least got a white russian for their troubles... +---------+ | FLORIDA | +---------+ (ding; audience applause) Doug: That's 2 points for Michael. Four away from tying the game. Jay Cross, do you help? Jay Cross: Only other St. Petersberg I can think of is in... [FLORIDA] (ding; audience applause) Doug: That's 3. Now as we come to the bottom row, as Tim Russert would say, it's got to be Florida, Florida, Florida -- or else Andy goes on to the Squares finals. Ryan? Ryan: (card) +=========+ | Florida | +=========+ (ding; audience applause) Doug: There's 4. Tammy. Tammy: Oh, naturally. What other St. Petersberg is there but [FLORIDA]! (ding; audience applause) Doug: There's 5. Michael, if you can match Dean Scungio from Net Deal or No Deal, we play the tie- breaker. Dean, show us your answer. Dean: Only one answer... +---------+ | FLORIDA | +---------+ (ding; audience applause) Doug: Tie ballgame!
(match in R2) | FLORIDA | FLORIDA
FLORIDA | FLORIDA | FLORIDAMichael's response: FLORIDA
Doug: Now, an extra dose of good news before we start the tie-break. In normal NMG-HSH play, Andy would have a total of CY$1000 and Michael would also have CY$1000 in hand. In recognition of your perfect scores, we're going to give each of you...
Doug: ...CY$5000. (audience cheers) So, you each have CY$5000, the runner-up in this semi-final collects another CY$25,000 and the winner here is assured of at least CY$50,000. So we don't have losers -- that's for sure. Now, we have to do something awful, set up for the tie-breaker and blow a fuse.
Doug: But each of you still take home that CY$5000.MG TIE-BREAKER BEGINS
