Welcome to Game 10 of The Big Risk. We thank everyone for their patience. A few notes before we start...
\ Andy Silikovitz is our returning champion with one win and CY$5850.
\ Dave Adams will be in the Player 2 spot due to an extension in qualifying in Game 9.
...so, this means we seek just one player. As usual, if you're already in TBR's Quarter Million Playoff or played in the 6th, 7th or 8th main game, please sit on your hands and let someone else play.
OK, here's the question. Player closest to the right answer, high or low, plays against Andy and Dave...
How much money per year does Latvia spend to feed each dog in its security force? Please respond in American dollars.
(time passes)
Sorry, folks, gotta make this quick...
...and the closest is...
Erskine Thompson $1500
...Erskine, you'll play against Dave and Andy.
====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "The Simpsons Lose Their Life Savings In Atlantic City" (audience laughs) will not be seen tonight -- in order to bring you a different form of risk-taking. ======================================================================("A Little Less Conversation" plays)
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: I thank you, Rich Jeffries. Hellooooooooo, everybody and welcome to The Big Risk. We crowned a new champion looking for his second win -- and there are two other players looking to dethrone him. Here to introduce them all is D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a strapless dark blue dress)
D.J.: Thank you, Doug. You ready to play?
Doug: Of course
D.J.: All of you out there ready to play.
(audience says "yeah" in unison)
D.J.: I know our contestants are ready. They are Player 1, our returning champion Andy Silikovitz with CY$5850; Player 2, Dave Adams and Player 3, Erskine Thompson.

Doug: Thanks, Deej. We'll see you later with our risks. Welcome aboard players. We'll dive right in as we've already given each of you CY$50 to play with. Each question in this round is worth CY$50.
Remember, if you chime in and give a wrong answer, each of your opponents gain CY$50. After the Q&A period, you'll get a chance to double your score at the dice table. Good luck and let's go...
