On The Big Risk, Chris Schumacher has CY$56,250 and is one victory away from qualifying for the Quarter Million Playoff.
This is Game 7. So, unless you're the champ, please sit on your hands if you've played in Game 4, 5 or 6.
And away we go with the qualifying question. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against Chris...
Time for our version of "The Price *WAS* Right". In doing some cleaning around Trax Productions, I found a gas receipt from 1998. On January 12 of that year, I filled up my Nissan pick up truck with 12.305 gallons of gas. In dollars and cents, how much did I pay for the gas?
(time passes)
And we're done. The Mrs. was quite stunned when she saw back in the early days of '98, I shelled out...
...thirteen big ones and fifteen little ones for fuel. So, let's see who the closest is?
Matt Taylor $13.40Hey, Matt, sharp shootin'. Only off by a quarter. Next closest is...
Kourtney Wilson $13.55...Kourtney, who was off by only 40 cents. Thanks to everyone else for playing. The Big Risk could mean a big moment for Chris. Fun's starting shortly.
====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "Win Ben Stein's 401(k)" (audience laughs) will not be seen. In its place, we present a game where its champion could end up retired undefeated. ======================================================================("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, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks from behind The Big Risk board)
Doug: Thank you Rich Jeffries. Hellooooooooo everybody and welcome to The Big Risk. We've tested our current champion's knowledge and luck over two shows and it's resulted in big payoffs. If he can succeed tonight and win this game, he drives out of here in a new car plus collects another CY$100,000. Here to introduce our players is D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black TBR t-shirt)
D.J.: Hi, everyone. Well, I'm sure you want to get right to the game with lots on the line. So, here's Player 1, Chris Schumacher with CY$56,250.
