Doug: We're back on The Big Risk -- or The Big Ripoff, depending on how you want to view it.

(audience laughs) (Dirty Harry smirks)

Doug: I never knew he was a Stockard Channing fan. Anyway, our players have done well with the tests of knowledge -- but the tests of luck have been a different story. Let's see if that luck turns around as we give each player CY$200 more.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$200	BRIAN H. CY$300	DEAN CY$250

(ding)

Doug: Questions are now worth CY$200 each -- and they come fast and furious. So, play carefully because the lowest scorer after this round's Final Risk is eliminated from the game. Here we go.

Kenny Baker is most closely associated with what non-human character from the "Star Wars" movies? Is it R2-D2, C-3PO or Chewbacca?

(Brian H. buzzes in)

Doug: Brian H.

Brian H.: R2D2

Doug: R2's right.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$200	BRIAN H. CY$500	DEAN CY$250

(audience applause)

Doug: Brian H. up to 500. Next question for 200.

Brad Pitt has never dated which of these actresses: Geena Davis, Juliette Lewis or Uma Thurman?

(Brian M. buzzes in)

Doug: Brian M.

Brian M.: Geena Davis

Doug: No, he never dated Uma Thurman. So each challenger collects 200.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$200	BRIAN H. CY$700	DEAN CY$450

Doug: He also never dated Oprah Winfrey. Uma... Oprah. (light laughter) Next question...

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by The Eurythmics was used as the theme song to a spinoff of "The Apprentice" hosted by what domestic diva?

(Brian M. buzzes in)

Doug: Brian M.

Brian M.: Martha Stewart

Doug: She's the one.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$400	BRIAN H. CY$700	DEAN CY$450

(audience applause)

Doug: CY$50 separate second from third. Next question.

Dylan Lane is the current host of the game show "Chain Reaction". Whether it was on a regular or substitute basis, name all three of Dylan's predecessors.

(Brian H. buzzes in)

Doug: Brian H.

Brian H.: Bill Cullen, Blake Emmons, & Tom Kennedy

Doug: Oh, two out of three right. Bill Cullen, Blake Emmons and Geoff Edwards. Brian M. and Dean each score.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$600	BRIAN H. CY$700	DEAN CY$650

Doug: And that makes the scores *real* tight. Next question.

The Vulcan range of motorcycles is made by what company?

(Brian M. buzzes in)

Doug: Brian M.

Brian M.: Harley-Davidson

Doug: Nope. Kawasaki. Challengers each win 200.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$600	BRIAN H. CY$900	DEAN CY$850

(bells ring)

Doug: And that's the Final Risk. Before we get to it, I want to backtrack to that "Chain Reaction" question -- cause there's a chain within the right answers to the question.

OK, we all know Bill Cullen hosted the original series. Geoff filled in for a couple of weeks while Bill was guest hosting a few episodes of "Password Plus".

Fast forward to the mid '80s on "The Joker's Wild" when Bill hosted and playing as a contestant? Blake Emmons -- who hosted about half a season of the Canadian-based "Chain Reaction"; Geoff hosted the remainder of that run.

All that said, Brian H. leads with 900, Dean not far off the lead with 850 and Brian M. with 600. Anything can still happen with the Final Risk. Deej, what's up with Harry?

D.J.: Well, Dirty Harry is about to spin the... (points to crowd)

Audience in unison: WHEEL... OF... CHANCE.

D.J.: And here's that wheel with 12 Spades, 6 Hearts, 4 Clubs and 2 Diamonds. In a moment, Harry will spin it once. But before he spins, you make a prediction as to the result of the spin -- Spade, Heart, Club or Diamond.

 

D.J.: A correct prediction on Spade pays even cyber-money, Heart pays 3-to-1, Club's 5-to-1 and Diamond's the longshot at 11-to-1. Wrong predictions result in a net loss of your original wager.

Doug: All right, players. Minimum bet is CY$200, max is "all in" and you must wager in CY$50 increments. Good luck, play carefully and place your bets.

(players input bets)

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$00	BRIAN H. CY$400	DEAN CY$650
DIAMOND CY$600	CLUB CY$500	SPADE CY$200

Doug: And everyone's locked in. Champ's going all in on a longshot. That's a big risk in of itself. Brian H. bets about half on the Club. Dean goes minimum on the most likely result of Spade. OK, Harry, spin it.

(Harry spins) (audience cheers)

D.J.: Round and round and round it goes. Where does it stop? Nobody knows.

D.J.: And it's -- Spade! Dean wins.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$00	BRIAN H. CY$400	DEAN CY$650
LOSE CY$00	LOSE CY$00	WIN! CY$400

Doug: Finally nice to see someone take Dirty Harry for some moolah. This means the champ's broke and the challengers go to the playoff.

 

 

 

BRIAN M. CY$00	BRIAN H. CY$400	DEAN CY$1,050

(winning bells; audience applause)

Doug: Brian H. and Dean, we'll get the cards ready for that Lucky 7 Playoff. One of you will go on to Dirty Harry's Joker Challenge and then The Big Risk round.

Brian Moore, you were one big risktaker. Unfortunately, the risks didn't pay off. Nothing today -- but a big payday on the last show. CY$13,800 -- and our great thanks for playing.

(audience cheers)

Doug: We'll crown a new champion in the Lucky 7 Playoff -- after this.

ADVANCE TO LUCKY 7 PLAYOFF
