After several weeks of taking care of real world matters, The Big Risk rides again.
That said, Eddie Timanus is defending his championship crown -- having won more than CY$34,000. Want to challenge him? Remember, you can't if you played in Game 9, 10 or 11 -- or if you're qualified for TBR's Quarter Million Playoff. Otherwise, feel free to chime in on the following query. The two closest to the right answer, high or low, challenge Eddie.
What percentage of Americans have flirted with a co-worker?
Answers are due Tuesday at 12noon EDT/11am CDT.
(A note I've been summoned to jury duty. So the game may run a little slow on this end.)
(time passes)
And that's time. Let's see the right answer...
...and if my wife's watching, I'm not in that percentage. The closest to 92 is...
Matt Taylor 83%
...Matt with 83. Next closest...
Brian Moore 69%
...Brian with 69. To everyone else, don't forget, Net Poker's looking for qualifiers -- www.dougmorris.net/poker -- and the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour will ride again soon.
====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "The Gambler: The Next Generation" starring Pete Rose (audience laughs) will not be seen tonight -- but we *bet* you'll like the following... ======================================================================("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: Thanks, Rich and hellooooooo, everybody. Welcome to The Big Risk. The last time we got together, we crowned a new champion, he won a lot of cyber-money and is looking to get back to The Big Risk round so he can beat the dealer and get into the Quarter Million Playoff. Of course, his challengers also have their eyes on big prizes. Let's meet them all after we meet -- D.J. Hamilton.
(D.J. walks out wearing a dark green sequined striped dress) (audience cheers)
D.J.: Hi, Doug and hey, ya'll. Let's welcome back Player 1, Eddie Timanus, with CY$34,200. He's playing against Player 2, Matt Taylor and Player 3, Brian Moore.

Doug: Thanks, D.J. We'll see you later with our risks. We've already given each of our players 50 cyber-bucks. Each of these questions is worth another CY$50. But if you buzz in and give a wrong answer, each of your opponents collects 50. Afterward, you'll have a chance to double your scores at the dice table. Right now, let's start the game with this... Name the capital city of China.
