Time once again to take The Big Risk. Before we do, a few notes...
\ John Montagnino has one win will build on his winnings of CY$14,900.
\ Remember, this is Game 9. If you played in the main game of our 6th, 7th or 8th episode, please sit on your hands and let someone else try. Go to www.dougmorris.net/tbr and click on "archives" if you can't remember when the last time you played. Also, if you're on retired status, please wait until the Quarter Million Playoff.
...with all that out of the way, let's look for challengers for John. The two folks closest to the right answer, high or low, get to play the main game. The question...
On July 15, 2005 at 1:30pm CDT, we watched a GSN rerun of Card Sharks ('80s syndicated version). How many total Kings, Queens and Jacks did host Bill Rafferty turn face up in the half-hour episode?
(time passes)
OK, thanks to everyone for their patience while we were looking for Michael. We finally found him. With that said, how many cards did Bill flip over on the episode in question?
Nine. Who's the closest?
Andy Silikovitz 7 Matt Taylor 11 ("Greed" tie sfx)Tie between Andy and Matt and... oh... Matt... sorry but you still in the midst of a three-episode waiting period. Our records show you played Game 7. Gotta wait through Game 8, Game 9 (this one) and 10 before trying to make the big show again. So, Andy's in and who else?
Dave Adams 12 Robert McBride 12 ("Greed" tie sfx)Another tie. We haven't seen Robert since Game 5 and Dave's a newcomer. Who was in first?
Robert McBride 12Robert. So, we have a potential of a rematch of Robert vs. Andy in the Lucky 7 Playoff -- which was how Game 4 ended up. John of course will have something to say about that.
Dave, tell ya what. Since you responded with your 12 during the extension, I'll hold a place for you in Game 10. Deal?
In any event, TBR's on VBS in a bit.

Rich: Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to take The Big Risk.
(audience applause) (roll montage of games of chance from previous episodes)
Rich: 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. 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 another game of The Big Risk. Luck was really on no one's side in our last game -- but the champ managed to win more than CY$14,000 and he's after more. Here to introduce him and his challengers is our co-hostess -- the lovely, the talented, the beautiful and I'm running out of adjectives (light laughter from the crowd) D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a sleeveless black top and blue jeans)
D.J.: Why thank you, Doug. Indeed, the dealer was on a mean streak on the last show. Here to hopefully turn things around are Player 1, the champ with CY$14,900, John Montagnino; Player 2, Andy Silikovitz; and Player 3, Robert McBride.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 1
