Yes, folks, we want to get Game 19 of TBR up and running. A few notes before we start...
\ Matt Tanga is the two time champ with CY$59,105 to his credit. A win here gives him another CY$100,000 plus a new car.
\ Brian Henegar is assured of being a challenger -- due to a technical difficulty in the last qualifying period. So we seek just the one player.
...now it's on to qualifying. The player closest to the right answer, high or low, gets to play against Matt and Brian. Remember, if you've played in Game 16, 17 or 18, please sit on your hands and let someone else win. Here we go...
In a recent survey, what percentage of men admitted they literally love their cars?
(time passes)
And that's time. Let's see the survey results.
QUALIFYING ANSWER
78%
Seventy-eight. Matt, Brian, you'll be playing against...
Lori Burstein 80%...Lori. First time in this, and perhaps any other, incarnation of TBR where we've had a female contestant playing. Will girl power prevail? Find out -- next.

(drum roll)
Rich: This is our current champion, Matt Tanga. So far, he has won two games and CY$59,105.
Rich: If he wins tonight's game, he'll win another CY$100,000 plus a new car. Find out what happens -- on The Big Risk.
Rich: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, it's time for a test of knowledge and a test of luck. Thousands can be won or lost when you take The Big Risk.
Rich: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks from behind The Big Risk board)
Doug: Thank you, Rich and helloooooooo, everybody! Welcome to The Big Risk. Hey, a clarification before we go further. In the last game in Round 1, we flipped around the wrong card -- and that *might* have had an impact on that game. So what we'll do is invite the players who lost that game on our *next* show.
But as for this show, we have three players ready to play and a co-host to introduce them. Here's D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (D.J. walks out wearing a blue strapless dress)
D.J.: Thanks, ya'll. Big implications on the game -- so we're going to get right to business and introduce Lori Burstein, Brian Henegar and the champion going for all the marbles, Matt Tanga!
MATT
CY$250
BRIAN
CY$250
LORI
CY$250
Doug: All right, Deej, thanks. Players, indeed, we don't want to mess around and get right to the proceedings because so much is at stake for the champion. We've given each of you CY$250. And one at a time, you'll have a chance to earn more with the help of our True or False board.
Doug: Behind the letters in "TRUE", we have four different amounts of cyber-money from CY$200 to CY$500. Behind the letters in "FALSE", we have the numbers 1 through 5. We have no repeats anywhere on the board.
When your turn starts, you pick two letters -- one from each row. Those selections determine the value of each question on your turn -- and just how many questions you get to tackle.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 1
