Welcome to Game 21 of The Big Risk, a game that *will* allow you to use that card counting feature on your iPhone. Whether it will actually work for you -- remains to be seen. Some notes...
\ Michael Clifford is our returning champion with CY$30,250 and one win to his credit. If he wins this and the next two games, he'll play Go For The Gold for CY$1,000,000. It can happen to you in *this* episode provided you blitz in Five-Card Risk and later win the game.
\ If you played in Game 18, 19 or 20, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the action. Can't remember the last time you played? Go to www.dougmorris.net/tbr and click on archives.
...now to qualifying. Two players closest to the actual retail answer, overbid or not, get to play against Michael for the championship. The query...
On November 4, 2008, Americans went to the polls to vote for their next president -- and various other public offices. At 4:00pm Central, how many Facebook users said they took time to vote in that day's election?
(time passes)
Polls are now closed. Including me, how many Facebookers said they exercised their vote on Election Day of '08 as of 4:00pm Central.

More than 3.1 million. Let freedom ring. Who's the closest?
Jay Cross 2,000,000
It's Jay Cross. Jay, you'll play against our champ and...
Jay Converse 1,345,223
...another Jay C. Interesting. TBR's coming up.
====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "Ed, Edd, Eddy, Edie, Edye and Eadie" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time -- so that we may bring you half a dozen of another -- and then some. ======================================================================
Rich: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, welcome to the game where you could win a million -- or lose your shirt. It's time to 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: I thank you Rick and helloooooooo, everybody. Welcome to The Big Risk -- the game of huge gambles and possibly humungous payoffs. One of these players could leave here CY$1,000,000 richer! (audience cheers) D.J.'s already over with the players. Who's here to try and rob us of some moolah?
D.J.: Doug, the big risk-takers for tonight are Jay Converse, Jay Cross and our returning champion with CY$30,250, Michael Clifford.
