At long last, it's time for Game 6 of The Big Risk. Because we've been away for so long, thanks in part to Hurricane Katrina, a few notes are in order...
\ Chris Schumacher is back as champion with one win and CY$4,800.
\ The trip to Monte Carlo, unclaimed from the last episode, is up for grabs in this episode.
\ With this being Game 6, if you played in Game 3, 4 or 5, please sit on your hands and let someone else win. Of course, if you're name's Michael Clifford, you'll have to wait for the Quarter Million Playoff to start.
\ Unrelated to TBR, I'll display play by play on NMG-HSH and Net Showdown as soon as I can in an HTML light format on their respective websites (still have a bunch of projects to conquer on the old 'puter... would've been done by now had it not been for Katrina!).
On August 18, 2005 at 2:00pm Central, we watched a GSN rerun of Lingo (originally aired in the second season; Chuck Woolery had no female co-host in this episode). How many total points were scored by the two teams in the main game of this half-hour episode?
(time passes)
BTW, can I just say that "Kenny vs. Spenny" episode that was on the other night was awful? A-W-F-U-L?
(five red square beeps) ("Lingo" correct answer cue)
Um, anyway. Let's look at the right answer...
...final score in that episode was 275 to 200. So, 475's the right answer. Let's meet Chris' challengers...
Jay Converse 575
...Jay, only off by 100 and...
Dean Scungio 300
...well, a guy who also knows a thing or two about five-letter words. Dean and Jay, standby.
====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "The Apprentice: Tony Stewart" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time. Besides, he punched out a cameraman before the first scene was even shot. (more laughs) In its place, we bring you a program where someone can win mad money. ======================================================================("A Little Less Conversation" plays) (fade into The Big Risk board)
Rich: Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to take The Big Risk. (audience applause) (roll montage of games of chance from previous episodes) From Studio 63, it's The Big Risk, a test of knowledge and a test of luck where tens of thousands of cyber-dollars can be won or lost on the turn of a card. (fade to wide shot of studio) And now, please welcome back the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks from behind The Big Risk board) (audience cheers and gives Doug a standing ovation)
Doug: Oh, thank you for that warm welcome. After taking time off to recover from Hurricane Katrina, we're back with The Big Risk. We have a champion who's been patiently waiting to defend his championship -- and two challengers wanting his crown. Here to introduce them all is our co-host, D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a pair of slacks a "Mississippi Girl" t-shirt) (Deej gives Doug a hug)
D.J.: Oh, great to see you Doug. Glad you and the Mrs. are safe.
Doug: Thanks, Deej.
D.J.: And glad to see everyone here for another game of The Big Risk. Here to compete are Player 1, Chris Schumacher, our champion with one win and CY$4,800; Player 2, Jay Converse; and Player 3, Dean Scungio.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 1
