Andy: The T and the F, for Flyers.
(scattered cheers from the hockey fans)
Doug: Going with the initial letter of each word. Let's see the T first.
|
Doug: The big one -- CY$500. And you'll play...?
|
Doug: ...five questions. You picked the good letters. Let's see if you come up with good answers.
True or false: P. Diddy has a fear of clowns.
Andy: True. He has coulrophobia.
Doug: That is true. That explains why he's turned down our requests to make guest appearances on TBR.
(DH gives Doug an "Are you kidding me?" look)
Doug: (to DH) No no, I'm talking about the Joker cards -- they look like clowns. (light laughter from the crowd) Moving on.
True or false: In the movie "Deep Impact", Téa Leoni's character plays the part of a CNN correspondent.
Andy: False.
Doug: MSNBC. You're two for two.
True or false: The Apple Computer Company was founded with profits made from selling apples.
Andy: False.
Doug: That's false. Three for three.
True or false: CBS has plans to air a remake of "Hawaii Five-O".
Andy: True.
Doug: Hard not to ignore the promos, huh? Last one.
True or false: Homer's Iliad is a poem.
Andy: True.
Doug: Twenty-five-hundred big ones.

Doug: John, Dean, hang in there. The night is young. Andy, as for you, the max amount to take to the Dice Risk -- 2750. John, let's test your knowledge and luck now. Two letters, please.
John: The U in True and the S in False, please.
Doug: Roger that. The U has...
|
Doug: ...CY$250. And you'll play...
|
Doug: ...one question. Sorry about that. Here it comes.
True or false: Claude Sautet was a movie director.
John: I believe that's true.
Doug: And you believe correctly. Get a load of this. He directed the 1960 film "Classe tous risques", which was advertised in the U.S. as -- "The Big Risk". Dirty Harry was an extra in that movie.
(audience laughs) (DH gives Doug "the stare")
Doug: In any event, you're up to 500.
John: Didn't he also create for McDonald's the Sautet McMuffin? :-)
Doug: Sure, you like his puns, but not ours. Dean, over to you, now.
Dean: I'll take both E's.
Doug: Simple enough. First E's worth how much?
|
(ding) (a few groans)
Doug: Eh, 200. And he plays...
|
Doug: ...two questions. Here they are.
True or false: "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John ranked #1 on Billboard's list of sexiest songs.
Dean: True?
Doug: Good guess, you're right. The ONJ also performed that on "Glee" not too long ago.
True or false: Italy has a king in power.
Dean: False.
Doug: Two for two for you.

Doug: All right, with the questions out of the way for this round, Andy's way out in front with 2750. Dean's in second with 650 and John's in third with 500. Now to the Dice Risk and D.J.
|
D.J.: All right, Dirty Harry has the dice in hand -- but before he rolls, ya'll have to bet and Andy has to determine the point. First thing's first, Andy. Since you're the champ, you get to pick a number off the Dice Risk board.
Andy: Since Sunday is 6/6, #6.
(light laughter)
D.J.: I'm -- not sure I want to dignify that with any remark. What's behind 6?
|
D.J.: A 9. Now, in a moment, Harry's going to roll the dice a maximum of seven times. He'll stop when he matches the points of 9 or is forced to stop by rolling a 7.
Before he rolls, it's up to you to bet on success or failure. If you think he'll match the point of 9 before rolling a 7, bet on "PASS". If you think he'll fail and roll a 7 before matching the point, bet on "DON'T PASS".
A correct wager pays off at 1-to-1, a wrong prediction results in a net loss of the wager -- and if Harry doesn't roll a 9 or 7 after seven rolls, all wagers result in a push.
Doug: All right, remember, the minimum bet in this round is CY$250, the max is the big risk -- your entire score. You must bet in increments of CY$50. For the first time tonight -- place your bets.

Doug: And the bets are in. Everyone's betting against the dealer. Andy nearly going all in with 2250, John's betting half, Dean's taking the big risk. Let's see what happens.
(DH gives the players "the look") (light laughter from the crowd) (DH rolls)
|
D.J.: Woah, close call. An 8.
|
(bells ring) (audience cheers)
D.J.: And don't pass -- winners.
Doug: Wow. Let's crunch some numbers.
