The Big Risk is back up and running. A few notes are in order...
\ Jay Cross returns with one win and CY$33,200.
\ This is Game 22. So if you played in Game 19, 20 or 21, please sit on your hands and let someone else win. Can't remember when you played? Go to www.dougmorris.net/tbr and click on archives.
... now it's on to qualifying. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against Jay. The question.
On April 18, 2009, at 9:30am Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Family Feud". This episode originally aired on ABC and the winning family played for $5000. Unfortunately, two members of said winning family didn't reach the goal of 200 points. What was the two players' combined score?
(time passes)
And we're done. Well, the twosome added $590 to the family's coffers -- meaning the right answer must be...
|
...yup, 118. Who's the closest?
Robert McBride 145
Robert, the Net Poker-made millionaire. He'll be in the Player 2 spot. And Player 3 will be....
Dean Scungio 165
...Dean Scungio. To everyone else, thanks for playing. Hope to get in an audience game later. The Big Risk starts shortly.
======================================================================("Take Me Out to the Ball Game" plays) Voice guy: Good luck to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in the College World Series -- from CDM Enterprises, Trax Productions and VBS 63. ======================================================================
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: Thank you, Rich. Hellooooooooo, everybody, and welcome to TBR. When last we were together, we crowned a new champion, he won a lot of cyber-money -- and he'll have a chance to win much more. Of course, the opposition has something to say about that. D.J. Hamilton's over with the players.
D.J.: Thanks, Doug. Tonight, we have Dean Scungio, Robert McBride and our current champion with CY$33,200, Jay Cross.
D.J.: This should be a great game. If you're a fan of TBR and our sister show, Net Poker, you know Dean won a tournament of champions here on TBR and Robert won the recent Net Poker tourney.

Doug: Thanks, Deej. We'll see you later with our risks. Players, welcome to our game. We'll play three rounds followed by The Big Risk round. In each round, we start with a series of true/false questions -- where you can rack up more cyber-money. We end a round by playing a game of chance -- where you could win even more or lose a bunch.
After three rounds, the top two scorers go to The Big Risk round. The winner there wins the game and could go for a golden payoff of CY$1,000,000.
Doug: First step to riches -- the True or False board.
|
Doug: Behind the letters in "True", different amounts of cyber-money. Behind the letters in "False", different numbers from 1 to 5, inclusive. Pick a letter from each row to determine how many questions you'll play and how much each correct answer is worth.
Jay, you're the champ. Get us started.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 1
