Doug: The cheesiest of game shows brought your winnings up to 
CY$151,500. 

 
(ding)

Doug:  Now then, Evan, we've seeded the bank with a different CY$2000 -- 
which  will be multiplied eventually.

 

Doug: Evan, as you know by now, four of our stars have been randomly and 
secretly assigned the number 20; four others a 30; the remaining star 
has the elusive 50.  Pick one star, he'll reveal his hidden number and 
we'll multiply that number by the two-grand in the pot.  

Evan: You know, I might as well go for Chad one more time.
 

 
Doug: Chad, Evan turns to you one more time before tourney time for 
the head-to-head match.  Let's see if you've got the magic number of 50.
 

 
(ding) 

Doug: Close.  A 30 times CY$2000 in the bank makes this head-to-head 
question worth...

 
(ding)  (audience cheers)

Doug: ...CY$60,000.  Remember, spelling doesn't count.  Singular
and plural forms of an answer *might* match each other.  Otherwise,
a mismatch is a mismatch.  Evan, Chad, here's the CY$60,000 question.

WHAT TIME IS IT?
___________TIME

  

Doug: What time is it?  << BLANK >> time.

(MG-HSH Super Match think music plays) 

Doug: Gadzooks, that's not a Super Match question, that's a book.
(a few laughs from the crowd)  What time is it?  << BLANK >> time.

(Chad writes down answer; puts card in slot)

 
(ding)

Doug: All right, Evan.  Chad's ready with his answer.  We're
ready for yours.  For another CY$60,000, how do you fill in
the blank?  What time is it?  << BLANK >> time.

Evan: Ooh... there are two answers I'm torn between.  You 
know what, I'll flip a coin, heads, I'll go with the first 
one I thought of, tails, I'll go for the other. 

(Evan's coin toss comes up tails)

Evan: OK then.  Having to take a page from the monstrosity 
that is "High School Musical", I'll have to fill in the blank 
with SUMMER. 

(scattered applause)

Doug: Going with the "High School Musical" and "Summertime".

Chad,

if

you

wrote

down

"Summer",

Evan 

Hatfield

will

top

of

his

reign

with

a

win

of

another

sixty

thousand

cyber-

dollars.

What

did

you

think

of?


Chad: I wanted to go out and celebrate with a right answer...

[MILLER]

  
(buzz; audience groans; TPiR losing horns)

Doug: Ahhhh -- darn it.  Millers would taste great in the summer
or any time -- but no match.

This *was* a toughie -- because I thought of two different answers.
I was at an anime convention and kept hearing about "Adventure Time".
(scattered cheers)  Then there's -- "What time is it?  Game time."
A chant in certain sports circles.

Anyhoo, let's see who had the 50?

  

Doug: Right next door.  Mr. Net Face the Music, Troy Diggs, had
it.

Well -- Evan -- sorry we couldn't send you outta here with more
than 200-large.  You do have CY$151,500. 

CY$151,500

  

(more cheers)

Doug: Right now, you're the only one in the tournament.  As soon as
two others qualify, we'll let you know and have the tourney.  For
now, one more big hand for Evan Hatfield.

(MG-HSH theme plays) (more cheers)

Doug: Back with an extended cyber-phone match -- after this.
