MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) And once again, everyone's in on...

(fanfare sounds; audience cheers) 

Doug: ...the grand question.  And *really* everyone's in on this.

Evan, since this is your turn, you'll still play for CY$100 a match
or CY$1000 if you max out.  All that will count toward your score.

Concurrently, this is a chance for Raymand *and* Evan to win a
bonus of CY$1000, which doesn't apply to the score of the game.

And Joe was randomly designated to be the Grand Question star
-- so if Raymond and/or Evan matches Joe, he or both pick up a
quick thou.

So here's our grand question.

Gil the gamer said, "I just finished playing an updated version of 
Pac-Man.  Instead of ghosts, Pac-Man is pursued by four << BLANKS >>."

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

(stars write)

 

Doug: All right, they're set.  Evan, since this is your turn, I'll
get your answer first -- then get Raymond's.  Question again.

Gil the gamer said, "I just finished playing an updated version of 
Pac-Man.  Instead of ghosts, Pac-Man is pursued by four << BLANKS >>."

Evan: I got nothin'.  Only thing I can think of is protesters?  
(a few groans from the crowd)  With occupy and all, could be feasible.

Doug: Occupy Blue Maze.  I gotcha.  Raymond, you're playing for the
bonus only.  What comes to mind?

(time passes) (buzz buzz)

Doug: OK, no answer in time.  Let's go right to Joe and see if he
wrote down protestors for CY$100 in score and CY$1000 in bonus.

Joe: There's only two that really fit these days, so I went with 
the one that sucks less...literally:

(audience cheers) (buzz)

Doug: There ya go.  I like that.  Chad, what did you think Pac-Man
was being pursued by?

Chad: I, uh, have no idea what they think Pac-Man is gobbling around 
for, but I put down...

[ MEMBERS OF THE  ]
[JERSEY SHORE CAST]

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: Snooki and The Situation double-teaming the yellow guy.  
Interesting.  Tammy, what say ye?

Tammy: Since they have had some big-screen success these past couple 
of years, four "Transfromers."

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: More than meets the eye.  No protestors yet as we visit the
Ryan Express.  Gil the gamer said, "I just finished playing an updated 
version of Pac-Man.  Instead of ghosts, Pac-Man is pursued by four..."

Ryan: (card)

Doug: Ahhh, good one.  If Pac-Man doesn't want to keep up with them,
go for the energizer dot.  To Dean now.

Dean: Braaaaaiiinns...

(audience cheers) (buzz)

Doug: Even though this is the classic Round 1 toughie, "zombies"
appears to be *the* answer.  And David, wrap this round up for us.

David: Looks like Pac-Man got a little too creative with his 
taxes this year.

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: Pac-Man wanted for tax evasion.  Who knew?

Evan's response: PROTESTORS

 

 

Doug: Well, first inning's in the books and we have a pitchers' duel.
We'll meet our players and commence Round 2 after this.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
