MG Tie-Breaker

 

 

Doug:  First, let's set up the tie-break by blowing a fuse.

 

 

Doug: Don't worry, you'll each come out CY$1000 to the good at
least.  Stars, here's the tie-breaker question -- << BLANK >>> Ho.

(audience laughs)

Doug: I know, after "viagra" comes this.  

(stars write)

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

______HO
 

1	DON
2	GUNG-
3	HEAVE
4	HI-DE-

Doug: On the screen, you see the same question they're 
responding to -- << BLANK >>> Ho.  Out of the sight
of the stars are four suggested 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.

Raymond, since you started Round 1, you get to pick first.
Please secretly lock in one of the four answers on your keypad.

(Raymond presses 2 on his keypad)

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Going with answer #2.   Evan -- please choose from
the remaining answers.

(Evan presses 1 on his keypad)

 

 

(ding)

Doug: Answer #1. 

 

 

 

 

Doug: The panel's ready with answers.  Given the quirks of the rules, 
four points will automatically win the tie-breaker.  Joe, to you first.
How did you complete this?   << BLANK >>> Ho.
 
Joe: GUNG Ho

 

 

(ding)

Doug: "Gung Ho" is the answer Raymond locked in.  He scores the first
point in the tie-breaker.  Chad?

Chad: I'm going with the inimitable...

[DON HO] 

 

 

(ding)

Doug: So did Evan.  Tied at one point.  Tammy, we know the answers that
match.  Did you think of "Gung Ho", "Don Ho" or another h-- uh -- 
response?

(light laughter from the crowd)

Tammy: Naturally, the first thought I had was [DON] Ho.


(ding)

Doug: And with that, the lead changes hands.  Two for Evan, one for
Raymond.  Anything's still possible. Ryan, your answer, please.

Ryan: (card)

| Don |
+=====+

 

 

(ding)

Doug: That's three for Evan.  Raymond, the best that can happen for 
you is Dean and David each wrote down "Gung Ho" to force another tie-breaker.  
The next mismatch for you means the game is out of reach.  Dean.

Dean: I could so break the rating right now, but instead, I said...

  +--------+
  | DON HO |
  +--------+

 

 

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

Doug: And that's a clincher for Evan.  Congratulations.  David,
just for the heck of it, what did you write down.

(MG-HSH variant theme plays)

David: (card)

+-------+
| HEAVE |
+-------+

Doug: Oh dear.  Raymond probably didn't want to see that.

 

 

 

GUNG | DON | DON
DON | DON | HEAVE

Raymond's answer: GUNG
Evan's answer: DON

 
Doug: Evan, come take your place over here on the blue dot.
Raymond, bad news, you're about to experience a heave-ho --
but the good news is we send you out the door with CY$1000.
Raymond Weaver, everyone.

(audience cheers) (MG desks roll off stage left)
