MG Tie-Breaker

 

 

Doug: Well, the great thing about this is the runner-up is assured
of at least CY$2000 -- CY$1000 in score and CY$1000 from the bonus
question we just played.  But now, we get set for the tie-breaker.
To start, we have to blow a fuse.

 

 

Doug: Next order of business -- give tie-breaker question to
the panel.  And the question is -- The Three << BLANK >>.
The Three << BLANK >>.

(stars write)

Doug: Steve and Robert, as they write, please look at your
secret screens.  Those of you watching at home get to look
in.

THE THREE______

1	BEARS
2	MUSKETEERS
3	STOOGES
4	TENORS

Doug: On the screen, you see the same question they're 
responding to -- The Three << BLANK >>.  Out of the sight
of the stars are four different answers to this question.

You'll each choose different answers -- then I'll canvas
the stars.  Each time a star matches your selection, you
score one point.  The player with more points wins CY$500 for
the tie-breaker -- and then goes on to Hollywood Squares.

Steve, since you started Round 1, you get to pick first.
Please secretly lock in a selection.

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Picking answer #2.   Now to Robert -- please choose from
the remaining answers.

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Number 3.

 

 

 

 

Doug: OK, the panel's set.  Given the quirks of the rules, four
points will automatically win the tie-breaker.  Dane, to you first.
How did you complete this?  The Three...

Dane: ALL FOR ONE! AND ONE FOR ALL!!

[MUSKETEERS]

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Dude, no need to shout.  (audience laughs)  Anyway,
"Musketeers" was Steve's answer; he's leading 1-0.  Chad.

Chad: The first thing that came in to my head, ya wiseguy.

[ STOOGES ]

 

 

(ding)

Doug: That was Robert's answer.  Tied 1-1 in the tie-break.
To Jay now.

Jay: Stooges

 

 

(ding)
Doug: And Robert now leads 2-1.  We come down to Ryan.  
The Three...

Ryan: Stooges

 

 

(ding) (smattering of cheers)

Doug: Robert pads the lead 3-1.   Steve the best you can hope
for is a tie.

Doug: And Robert completes the comeback!  

(Steve and Robert shake hands)

 

 

MUSKETEERS | STOOGES | STOOGES
STOOGES | MUSKETEERS | STOOGES

Steve's answer: MUSKETEERS
Robert's answer: STOOGES

(MG-HSH variant theme plays)

Doug: Robert, come take your place over here on the blue dot.
Steve, we thank you for playing.  You had a shot at it near the end.
His answer turned out to be the better one.  But you go home with
CY$2000.  A nice hand for Steve Michaels.

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