MG Round 3 Question A

Doug: We're back -- and let's resolve Match Game.

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) And since Cassie hasn't scored, all
 six stars, please respond to this.

At the end of his column in the local newspaper, Rick the restaurant
critic wrote, "One of the newest locations of Hooters is opening
up tomorrow.  I'll have my review next week and definitely keep
you << BLANK >>."

(audience laughs) (think music plays)

 

Doug: And they're all set.  Cassie, remember, four matches will
tie; more than four will win.

At the end of his column in the local newspaper, Rick the restaurant
critic wrote, "One of the newest locations of Hooters is opening
up tomorrow.  I'll have my review next week and definitely keep
you << BLANK >>."

Cassie: This will be a shot in the dark as this particular
definition isn't particularly known but it fits into the theme 
of the question.  My answer is "abreast".

(audience cheers)

Doug: *There's* the answer.  A restaurant critic keeping his
readers abreast of the Hooters restaurant.  Let's compare answers
-- starting with Josh.

Josh: There are two kinds of answers to this: the wrong answer, 
and [ABREAST].

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Cassie's glad you didn't write the wrong answer.  Chad?

Chad: Gotta be... [ABREAST]

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: There's two.  Greg, do you make it three?

Greg: Titillated

(audience groans) (buzz)

Doug: Judge's dictionary and thesaurus say "titillated" and
"abreast" can't match.  Anything can still happen as we 
check Ryan's answer.

Ryan: (card)

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Whether you express it as one word or two, that's a
match.  Brian, this is for a tie.

Brian: I think Rick will keep you...

[Abreast of the Situation]

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: With or without the prepositional phrase, that's a
match.  Now it's down to Chris Wolvie's answer.

If

Chris

wrote

down

"abreast",

whether

as

one

or

two

words

and

whether

or

not

there's

added

wording,

Cassie

will

zoom

from

nothing

to

Hollywood

Squares.

Chris,

please

show

us

your

answer.


Chris: I'd've drawn the nipples, but I didn't think the censors 
would approve.  He'll keep us...

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

Doug: That's a match and that's a win.

 

ABREAST | ABREAST | TITILLATED
A BREAST | ABREAST...SITUATION | ABREAST

Cassie's answer: ABREAST

 

 

Doug: Cassie, please join me over here and take your place on the blue
dot.

Michael, if it's any consolation, you're not the first to be victimized
by this kind of a bad beat.  During our first tournament of champions,
a Match Game semi-finalist came up with *the* answer to a Round 3
question -- but mismatched all available panelists.

Sorry to see you go.  But we hope you had fun.  You're talking CY$400
and some nice gifts back to Jersey.  A nice hand for Michael Clifford.
