Doug: The country of Nerdocrumbesia takes "cruel and unusual 
punishment" to a new level.  Instead of prison, a man was sentenced 
to 50 years of watching "7th Heaven" on that other channel.  That's

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: CY$20,000.  Yes indeed, if you can't win 30-grand, I want you to
win 20-grand.  It can be done if you both arrive at the same answer.
Remember, this must be an exact match.  Good luck Eddie.  Randy, 
please put virtual pen to paper on this...

Doug: Spelling << BLANK >>.  That's S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G.   
Spelling << BLANK >>.

(J! think music plays)

Doug: OK, Eddie, Randy's ready and we're ready for yours.  Spelling 
<< BLANK >>.

Eddie: Well, in this case, I think I *will* trust my first instinct 
... Spelling Bee.

(audience cheers)

Doug: That's the only thing that crossed my mind.  If the same holds
true for ATGS' Overlord, your winnings will total more than CY$37,000. 
Randy, 20-grand says you wrote down "Spelling Bee".

(Randy has on a great poker face for the super match)

Randy: Spelling BEE

Your twenty-fifth is silver. What is your ninth?

I'll say wood.

so .... I will disagree.

Ryan: The ninth wedding anniversary is willow or straw. 

Circle gets the square and the win!

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

Doug: Hey, Ryan.
 
Ryan: Yeah, Doug?
 
Doug: I gotta say it's interesting Andy disagreed with my wife to win

couch. :)

Andy Geller: Let's go with Cindy again !

Doug: Going with Cindy.  The Helen Rayburn to my Gene Rayburn.  The

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...

<< 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)

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)
