(buzz)Time's up. Zack -- a break for you. Are you giving or taking the next letter?

I am taking the letter, and instantly guessing that it's MONARCH.

PERFECT! It's MONARCH for the win!

Once again, good news, bad news. MONARCH is right -- but it's not enough for the win.                           (ding; audience applause)We'll recap this chain quickly. "The Nutcracker" is a famous ballet. In any ballet, you'll find dancing. "Dancing Queen" is a hit song by ABBA. In a royal family, a queen is married to a king. A king is certainly a monarch. And the best known butterfly in North America is the monarch butterfly. As I noted earlier, Zack, if you completed the chain, you'd score $1500 and be just $250 shy of victory. Indeed, that's what's happened. So we go to a fourth chain to decide the game.  (ding) This chain starts with SHORT and ends with AID. Each link worth $1000. In the highly unlikely event we play this chain all the way out, the player who completes the chain scores an additional $1000. The goal is $5000. So the next right answer wins it all. Everyone, please play carefully. Zack, how do you play it? |

NOTICE for the win!

As a certain college football coach-turned-analyst would say, "Not so fast, my friend."
NOTICE is incorrect.
Cameron, over to you.

This is a stab in the dark, but I'll guess it..... NAIL?  ? |

Not NAIL. Sorry. Zack, it's back to you.

That's it! NAP!

Post by dougmorrisontheair on Nov 2, 2015 13:44:07 GMT -5
Well -- I'm afraid we have to take NAP as your answer -- which, unfortunately, is not right. If it were NAP, a star would light up next to the A -- and I'd confirm that star represents the last of a three-letter word. Cameron, it's back to you.
(Note from Doug: Yes, I know how this was standard operating procedure in the first season of the Dylan Lane era of CR. Before and after that season, CR wasn't played that way. The rules sheet at www.dougmorris.net/chain/ denote use of a star/asterisk when necessary) |

Guessing for the win.....

NAPOLEON is right. We have a new champion.  (dings; audience applause; win music plays)

  whammy
Let's go ahead and reveal the rest of the chain in full, please.  (ding) A famous short emperor was known as Napoleon Bonaparte -- or just simply "Napoleon". "Napoleon Dynamite" -- title of a comedy movie. Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was of Swedish decent; he was born in Stockholm. A famous Muppet is known as The Swedish Chef. And a benefit concert in an episode of "South Park" was known as Chef Aid. Zack, we have to say goodbye -- but we say goodbye with a nice piece of change. Including your big bonus payoff from Round 2, we're cutting you a check for $7250. A nice hand for Zack. (audience cheers) Cameron, we're going to dive right into your Missing Link game. (obvious edit)   (ding)For winning the game, we spot you four pennies. In a moment, I'll spot you the top and bottom links of this three-link chain -- and the initial letter of the link in the center. That's our missing link. Correctly identify the missing link on just that first letter -- and you take all four pennies into the bonus round for a possible $40,000 chain reaction. For each additional letter you need to identify the missing link, it costs you a penny -- and reduces your potential winnings. Let's go ahead and set up your missing link game.  (ding)This starts with JAIL and ends with STREET. Missing link starts with a C. For a possible $40,000, what's that missing link? |

(Note from Doug: Cameron messaged me he could see the images in Missing Link. So, I'll give him extra time to make a guess as we'll display this in text form.)
[JAIL ]
[C ]
[STREET ]
(¢) (¢) (¢) (¢)

Well, you may guess now to try to parlay three pennies into $30,000 -- or see the next letter and try to parlay *two* pennies into $20,000.
