Doug: And you know what happens here. We start each round with questions. Right answers pay more cyber-money. Then you'll use that cyber-money to wager on games of chance. Top two players after the third round go head-to-head in The Big Risk round. Winner there goes on to go for CY$250,000 or maybe even CY$1,000,000 in gold!
Doug: First step on our road to riches is the True or False board.
|
Doug: Letters in "true" have different cyber-money amounts of up to CY$500. Letters in "false" have different numbers from 1 to 5. You'll pick a letter from each row to determine how many questions you play and how much each right answer is worth.
Robert, you're the champ. Please get us started.
Robert: T and A.
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Get your minds out of the gutter! (more laughter) T has...
|
(ding) (scattered cheers)
Doug: ...wow, the big CY$500 value. A has...
|
Doug: ...the 5. That means Robert goes the max -- five questions at CY$500 a pop.
True or false: India is part of Asia.
Robert: True.
Doug: That's right.
True or false: "I Will Survive" was a hit for Donna Summer.
Robert: False.
Doug: Gloria Gaynor
True or false: Henry Ford had a driver's license.
Robert: False.
Doug: Imagine that -- a legendary auto exec never had a driver's license. You're three-for-three, Robert.
True or false: Paul Mitchell is a man who makes hair care products.
Robert: True.
Doug: No, the name "Paul Mitchel" is actually a combination of two guys' names. Last question for another CY$500.
True or false: FDR is famous for saying "I never met a man I didn't like."
Robert: False.
Doug: Will Rogers. Four-for-five.

Doug: CY$2250 to take into Dice Risk. Now the ball's in Eddie's court. Two letters, please.
Eddie: The U and the S, please.
Doug: See, now those selections are much more patriotic than Robert's. (light laughter from the crowd) Behind U.
|
Doug: There's CY$250. Now the S hides...
|
Doug: ...a four. So that means four questions at CY$250 each. Possible grand coming your way.
True or false: Poinsettias are poisonous.
Eddie: Think I heard that somewhere -- true.
Doug: Well, it's been recently proven poison poinsettias are all a myth. So, 'fraid that's false. And try saying "proven poison poinsettias" three times fast.
(light laugther from the crowd)
Doug: Next query.
True or false: Traditionally, the bride's family throws the bridal shower.
Eddie: False.
Doug: Maid of honor's family.

Doug: All right, this wraps up the test of knowledge in this part of the round. Now for the first time tonight, let's test your luck. Deej, what's happening here?
D.J.: We're about to play Dice Risk.
|
D.J.: As ya'll now, we've hidden the cards 4 through 10 on the board with no duplicates and no 7. Robert, since you're the champ, you get to pick a number off the Dice Risk board.
Robert: #1.
D.J.: Behind #1 we have...
|
D.J.: ...a 10. That's the point for the dealer -- Dirty Harry.
(audience boos as DH walks out)
D.J.: Booooo!!!!!
(audience laughs) (DH sneers)
Doug: Don't tell me I have to separate you two.
D.J.: In any event, Whathisface over here is going to roll the dice a maximum of seven times. He'll stop when he matches the point of 10 or fails by rolling a 7.
But before he rolls, you have to predict his success. If you think he'll roll a 10 without rolling a 7, bet on "PASS". If you think he'll fail by rolling a 7 before matching the point, bet on "DON'T PASS".
Correct bets pay off at 1-to-1. Incorrect bets result in the net loss of the original wager. If he doesn't roll a 7 or 10 after seven rolls, all bets result in a push.
Doug: Thanks, Deej. Remember, gentlemen, the minimum bet is CY$250. However, you may voluntarily take the big risk and wager everything. You have to bet in increments of CY$50.
Let me recap the scores. Robert has 2250, Eddie has 1000 and John has 850. For the first time tonight, place your bets.
