Funny movie -- "Smokey and the Bandit". David, control of the chain is still with you.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter above HARP.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Challenger keeps this and takes...










(ding)

...an A.

[gameboy2000]

AIR?

[dougmorrisontheair]

I know what you're talking about -- but AIR is not right. Kevin, back to you.

[koopakid17]

I will give below Bandit.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, David, you'll be guessing the link....









(ding)

...starting with M.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for David.)

[gameboy2000]

MASK?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Good guess. MASK is right.









(ding; audience applause)

David with a $2000 lead -- and still, you're in control. 

Bonus money link's in reach.  Just sayin'.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter above HARP.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David keeps this and takes...










(ding)

...A-N above HARP.

[gameboy2000]

Is it ANGEL?

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's it -- ANGEL.

Mowin' 'em down so far, David. How do you play it now?

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter under MASK.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David goes for the money link...









(ding)

...starting with U.

[gameboy2000]

UNDERNEATH?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not UNDERNEATH -- but a great guess. Kevin, chance to cut into his lead.

[koopakid17]

I'll take below Mask.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Kevin's first try at the money link...









(ding)

...with U-N.

[koopakid17]

Unfurl?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not UNFURL. Back to David.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter under MASK.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David takes...









(ding)

...ummm -- okay...?

(inaudible explanation from the judge)

All right, David and Kevin, we have gremlins in the system and coming into Round 2, there was a chance we'd have a rematch. Our judge has gone ahead and made the "maybe" a definite. So -- runner-up in this game returns as the challenger on the next show.

Now that we've made that, ruling, David, your guess.

[gameboy2000]

DISCOVER?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not DISCOVER. Good guess though. Kevin, over to you.

[koopakid17]

I'll take below Mask.

[dougmorrisontheair]

If the next letter's from the Klingon alphabet, I'm going home.

(scattered laughter from the crowd)









(ding)

Good!  Kevin, D-I-S-G.

[koopakid17]

Disgrace?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not DISGRACE. David, it's back to you.
