Doug: And we're back with The Big Risk. Time for the second round of the game as we add CY$100 to each player's score.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$400	JAY CY$250

(ding)

Doug: Questions are now worth CY$100 each and then you could multiply your score by 32 if you're feeling brave and the cards turn out right in Five Card Risk. First, the questions. Good luck.

What does "a.m.", as in the time "7:00 a.m.", stand for?

(Jay buzzes in)

Doug: Jay.

Jay: Ante meridiem

Doug: That's right.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$400	JAY CY$350

(audience applause)

Doug: Jay's just CY$50 off the lead. Next question.

By position, name the only member of a soccer team allowed to touch the ball.

(Erskine buzzes in)

Doug: Erskine.

Erskine: Goalkeeper

Doug: That's right. Goalie also acceptable.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$200	EDDIE CY$400	JAY CY$350

(audience applause)

Doug: However, the goalie is not allowed to headbutt. (audience laughs and applauds) Next question...

What television show, started in 1962, got its name from the people who paid to operate a Hampton Roads, VA television station?

(Eddie buzzes in)

Doug: Eddie.

Eddie: "The 700 Club."

Doug: Correct.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$200	EDDIE CY$500	JAY CY$350

(audience applause)

Doug: Eddie up to 500. Next question deals with politics.

Of all current U.S. Senators, which one has had his Senate seat the longest?

(Erskine buzzes in)

Doug: Erskine.

Erskine: Robert Byrd

Doug: Represented West Virginia since 1959. You're right for another 100.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$300	EDDIE CY$500	JAY CY$350

(audience applause)

Doug: Erskine coming back. Let's serve up another CY$100 query.

What company gives us Lean Cuisine entrees?

(Jay buzzes in)

Doug: Jay.

Jay: Stouffers

Doug: That's correct.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$300	EDDIE CY$500	JAY CY$450

(audience applause)

Doug: Jay again within spitting distance of the lead. Next question.

Baseball's Hall of Fame is located in what city in the state of New York?

(Eddie buzzes in)

Doug: Eddie.

Eddie: Cooperstown

Doug: I would think a sportswriter would get that one. You're right.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$300	EDDIE CY$600	JAY CY$450

(audience applause) (bells ring)

Doug: OK, let's look at the scores. Eddie has 600, Jay has 450 and Erskine with 300. Time for Five-Card Risk and we're playing Any Pair Loses with D.J. and Harry.

D.J.: That's right, Doug. During the break, Dirty Harry drew a card from a special deck of 13 cards -- Ace through 2 with no duplicates. And he drew...

 

(ding)

D.J.: ...a 7. Now, behind the five numbered spaces on the board are the top five cards of a 54-card deck, with two Jokers, Harry shuffled during the break.

In a moment, you'll place a bet in the hope the card behind number 1 isn't a 7. If it's not, your payoff is 1-to-1. You may then freeze and protect your winnings -- or risk and try and double what you just doubled.

As you play, keep in mind if you risk and we reveal a card that matches another in rank -- including the 7 -- your net gains are wiped out and you post a net loss of your original wager. Also, beware of Jokers -- they're always automatic losing cards.

Doug: Minimum bet in this round is 100 and you may go all-in. Still, you have to wager in multiples of 50. Again to recap, Eddie with 600, Jay with 450 and Erskine with 300. Good luck and place your bets.

(players input wagers)

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$200	JAY CY$350
RISK CY$200	RISK CY$400	RISK CY$100

Doug: And we have our wagers locked in. Erskine is betting 200, Eddie risking a big 400 and Jay going minimum with 100. Deej?

D.J.: OK, let's reveal the card behind number 1.

 

(winning bells; audience applause)

D.J.: Woah! The 6 of Spades. Just lower than a 7.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$200	JAY CY$350
WIN! CY$400	WIN! CY$800	WIN! CY$200

Doug: OK, winners all around. But when a winning card is revealed in Any Pair Loses, the danger increases. Because the 6 of Spades was turned over, that means losing cards in this round are now sevens and sixes -- as well as jokers.

Armed with that information, you may freeze or risk. If you all risk and the next card isn't a 7, 6 or Joker, we'll pay Erskine another 400, Eddie another 800 and Jay 200 more.

Freeze or risk?

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$200	JAY CY$350
RISK CY$400	RISK CY$800	RISK CY$200

Doug: And we're all locked in. Everyone's risking. Let's see the card behind number 2.

 

(winning bells; audience applause)

D.J.: It's another good one -- the 4 of Hearts.

 

 

 

ERSKINE CY$100	EDDIE CY$200	JAY CY$350
WIN! CY$800	WIN! CY$1,600	WIN! CY$400

Doug: Well, here's the situation. If you decide to risk and the next card is not a 7, 6, 4 or Joker, Erskine wins another 800, we'll pay Eddie 1600 more and Jay will be richer by 400.

Freeze or risk?
