Doug: And each of you take a turn at the True or False board.
|
Doug: The letters in "TRUE" hide different amounts of cyber-money -- up to CY$500. The letters in "FALSE" hide the numbers 1 through 5 with no repeats. Pick a letter from each row to determine how many questions you'll play -- and how much each right answer is worth.
Andy, you're the champ. Start us off, please.
Andy: Two E, or not two E -- that is the question. I'd like the two E's.
Doug: E-asy e-nough. Let's see what's behind the first E.
|
Doug: CY$300 -- and how many questions do you play at 300 a pop?
|
(ding) (scattered cheers)
Doug: Sweet. Five questions. Chance to win up to CY$1500.
True or false: "As The World Turns", which leaves the CBS Daytime schedule later this year, is set in the fictional town of Springdale.
Andy: False.
Doug: Town of Oakdale.
True or false: Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon recently divorced.
Andy: True
Doug: They recently split up after 23 years as a couple -- however, they were never married to each other. So I'm afraid that's false.
True or false: The TV series "Ally McBeal" was primarily set in Los Angeles.
Andy: False
Doug: Boston
True or false: Gold is the heaviest element on earth.
Andy: False
Doug: That's right. One more.

Doug: Four right answers at 300 each gives you CY$1200 more. Over to Brian now. I need two letters, please.
Brian: I'll have the R and the L, Doug.
Doug: R and L. We'll check the R first.
|
Doug: CY$250 and you'll play...
|
Doug: ...one question.
True or false: Vichyssoise is cold potato soup.
Brian: False.
Doug: 'Fraid that's true. So you'll stay at CY$250. Now to Chico. Two letters, please.
Chico: I hope this isn't going to be T-S for me. T and S, please.
(light laughter from the crowd)
Doug: Huh kay -- what's behind T?
|
(ding) (scattered cheers)
Doug: Big one -- CY$500. How many questions?
|
(ding) (a few groans)
Doug: Two questions. Well, if you sweep both, you'll only be 200 shy of the lead.
True or false: Scotland is south of England.
Chico: False.
Doug: Right you are. One more.
True or false: The Mexican-American War began in 1846.

Doug: All right, before we go any further, let's take a moment and meet our players -- starting with our champion, Andy.
Andy: I'm Andy Silikovitz from West Orange, NJ. I've lived there for 34 years. I'm a Torah Reader in Montclair, NJ. I have two cats -- Calvin and Klein. I like crossword puzzles, Sudoku and game shows.
Doug: All right, good to have you back here -- trying for your third win. Let's say hello to Brian now.
Brian: Hello, Doug. I'm from Cloquet, MN where I'm a fan of game shows and "America's Funniest Home Videos".
Doug: Well hopefully nothing here on this new set will give that show any fodder. (audience laughs) And Chico.
Chico: Well, Doug, I'm a full-time labtech and part-time webmaster of a reputable game show news website from Fayetteville, NC.
(scattered cheers from the crowd)
Chico: And I like arranging and singing a cappella music.
Doug: Good to have you with us. You do have fans of that game show news website here in the audience. All right, players, get ready. It's time for Dice Risk and here's D.J. to tell ya'll about it.
D.J.: All right, well, with our bigger board...
|
D.J. ...the layout's a little different -- but the idea is still the same. Behind the dice faces are the cards 4 through 10 with no duplicates and no 7. Andy, you're the champion -- so you get to pick a number to determine our dealer's point.
Andy: I'll pick number *fore* (4) for Tiger Woods.
D.J.: Of course, Tiger's been taking big risks of a different sort -- but let's see what's behind 4.
|
D.J.: It's a 5. So that's our point for the dealer -- Dirty Harry.
(audience boos as Dirty Harry enters the studio)
Doug: Pity we don't have a new dealer.
D.J.: All right, Andy, Brian and Chico, you're going to place a bet on whether or not Dirty Harry will succeed in rolling a 5 in seven rolls or less -- and avoid rolling a 7 in the process.
If you think he'll succeed in making his point before rolling a 7, bet on "PASS". However, if you think Harry will roll a 7 before matching his point, bet on "DON'T PASS".
Correct wagers pay off at one-to-one, a wrong bet deducts the amount from your score -- and if Harry goes seven rolls without a 5 or 7, all bets result in a push.
Doug: Now the minimum bet is CY$250 -- however, you may voluntarily take the big risk and wager everything you have. Remember, please bet in increments of CY$50.

Doug: Brian, since you only have 250, we'll go ahead and put you all in. So from everyone, lock in a "PASS" or "DON'T PASS" on your keypads -- and for Andy and Chico, please -- place your bets.
