On A Roll (CBS, Episode 14)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Kourtney.)

[pathfinder20]

Roll again...

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Kourtney rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ack! Doubles again. You don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

And -- we already know where to go. Kourtney steps out and Frank steps in.

Frank, before you play the last roll of this round...

...you may take one free letter.

[fdriscoll22]

10 on the top

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nearly completing the top row...

(Paige touches screen)

...with an M. Guess that top clue or roll?

[fdriscoll22]

I think I might have it, is it Jake Mcdorman?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

It is Jake McDorman.

Now -- you have a chance to solve the puzzle and win the game. With that first clue fully exposed and portions of the others revealed, what's the solution to our puzzle?

[fdriscoll22]

This could be the time when watching the commercials during Survior, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race pay off.
Is it Limitless?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience applause)

They like your answer. For the game -- is it -- "Limitless"?






































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

It is. And with network brass watching our every move, they'll probably hope, at the least, you'll add "Limitless" to your DVR recordings.

Let's reveal the rest of the clues. That second line has to deal with NZT.

(FF reveal sfx)

Yeah -- NZT, particularly NZT-48, is a drug that figures prominently in the hit CBS series that stars Jake McDorman.

(Korinna places dice near Frank's buzzer)

So, Frank, good for you. Stand by -- because you're about to win some money with those dice.

Kourtney, just your first loss in the match. You'll have a chance to make a comeback. The lovely Korinna will walk you to a comfortable chair in the front row. We'll see you for Game 2, Kourtney Wilson.

(audience cheers)

Frank, for solving the puzzle, you've earned the money roll for Game 1. On this roll, it's okay to throw doubles. This roll is for $5000 a point -- and determines the maximum amount of money you'll win if you clear all seven sums in Lucky 7.

So -- give those dice a toss -- and let's see how much you're playing for.

(Frank rolls)

(audience cheers)

Dice total 9 for $45,000. We'll play that $45,000 game of Lucky 7 -- when you come back to the dice table.

(theme plays; audience cheers)


(theme plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Welcome back to On A Roll. Frank Driscoll is about to be rewarded for paying attention to network promos...

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

...and has earned a chance to go for big money with help from -- the one -- the only -- Wally!

(theme plays; audience applauds)

Hello, Wally. What do you have for us this Friday Eve?

"Hi, Paige and Korrina..."

(audience laughs and applauds)

(Doug laughs) "I also can't say a word."

Well, Wally, if you can't speak, may we have the numbers for the Lucky 7 game, please?

(FF reveal sfx)

Thank you. Now, Frank, here's how we play Lucky 7. To win top dollar, you must eliminate those numbers, 4 through 10 inclusive, by rolling our dice. Anytime the sum of your roll matches one of those numbers, that number disappears and you score $500. If you repeat one of those sums, no penalty; you score an additional $50 and you're still on a roll.

Any roll of 3 or 11 is wild. That gives you the power to eliminate one of the remaining numbers *or* take a token for the car game. For solving the puzzle earlier, you already have earned...

(ding)

...one token.

You also solved that puzzle with just *one* clue fully exposed -- so that entitles you to a *second* car token.

(ding)


As you get on a roll, you're allowed to collect a total of four tokens.

When you get down to one number on the board, Wally will then give you five tries to match that last number -- and it has to be done naturally.

Frank, if you can eliminate all seven numbers, look right into that camera and tell everyone how much money you'll pocket.

[fdriscoll22]

$45,000!!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

There ya go. Remember, as in the main game, you want to avoid rolling doubles. Any double here in Lucky 7 means you'll be assessed one strike. Three strikes and the game ends -- but you do keep any money you score. And the player who score more money in Lucky 7 is crowned the champion.

(Korrina hands Frank the dice)

There are your dice. This is your table, Frank, because you -- are on a roll.

(more cheers)

(Frank rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)


Oooh! Right off the bat, first strike.

Okay. Shake it off. Just your first strike. Roll 'em again.

(Frank rolls)

(scattered cheers)

That's more like it. The 4 and 5 make the 9 go away...

(ding)

...and make $500 appear on the scoreboard. Roll again.


(Frank rolls)

And it's a 3 and a 2. The 5 is gone.

(ding)

Got a grand in hand now. Roll 'em again.

(Frank rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Eeek! Strike two. Frank, one more double and this will go down in the annals of On A Roll history as one of the quickest bonus rounds ever. Anything but a double keeps you in business.

(Frank rolls)

(audience cheers)

(cha-ching)

Like that. Frank, decision time.

Would you like to take another number off the board and score $500 more -- or would you like a third token for the car game?

[fdriscoll22]

I think I will eliminate the 4

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Yeah, clear out one of those toughies.

See, even Wally likes that idea.

Four sums to go for $45,000. Just avoid that double.

(Frank rolls)

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

And a double 5 concludes matters in Lucky 7.
 

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, a rather quick game of Lucky 7 ends with a payoff of $1500. That's the score Kourtney needs to match or beat to come back tomorrow.

Frank, as for you, you could still pick up more cash or this rather spiffy prize we're hiding behind the game board. It won't be hidden for much longer. Have a look and listen.

(board game moves stage left)

Tiffany: IT'S A NEW CAR!

(car theme plays; audience cheers)

Tiffany: The Mercedes-Benz CLS550 Coupe is a luxurious ride. It comes with the Premium 1 Package plus high performance tires, leather/wood steering wheel and much more. This fantastic car is worth $79,735. Good luck, Frank!

(FF reveal sfx)

And Wally's already rarin' to go with the car game. Wally has randomly hidden the word "car" in one of those numbered screens. With the two tokens you earned from Game 1, you may select up to two numbers. Pick the number that hides the magic word "car" -- and you get the keys and the pink slip to that Mercedes. You also get the Mercedes as well.

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

So, all at once -- please pick your numbers.

[fdriscoll22]

I'm 17, so let's try 1 and 7

[dougmorrisontheair]

Our seventeen-year-old challenger would like to cover 1 and 7.

(ding)

And there they are. Let's start at 1. Does he win the car with 1?

(audience groans)
(buzz)

Sorry about that. Maybe the car screen is number 7.

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

Ah, man! No luck. Frank, just for fun, if you had a third token, where would it go?

[fdriscoll22]

I don't know, probably 4

[dougmorrisontheair]

He would've picked 4...

....uh oh -- (scattered groans) -- oh no, Wally, you didn't.


(FF reveal sfx)

(audience groans)

And that concludes today's episode of "Supposition Theater".

Well, Frank, don't think about what you don't have. Think about what you do have. Each token you played is now worth $500. So that's another $1000 from us. Grand total of...

(FF reveal sfx)

...$2500. (audience applause) And if you win the next game, you could win more than $100,000 *and* that new set of wheels. We'll get set for that next game of On A Roll -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(remixed 007 theme plays)

Tiffany: This week, one of our contestants could win a James Bond weekend in Palm Beach, Florida. (audience cheers) A lucky winner and a guest will fly round trip coach to Palm Beach, Florida for an unforgettable weekend stay at the Brazilian Court Hotel.

Tiffany: Live it up 007-style as the hotel provides a private yacht cruise, a seven-course dining experience, a helicopter tour of Palm Beach and much more. This package includes two nights' accommodations in the lavish Hepburn Suite -- as well as two "Bond 50" Blu-Ray collector's sets, a private screening of "Spectre" -- and a cash bonus of $7007.

This vacation package is worth $30,307. (audience cheers) Now back to Doug Morris and Game 2 of On A Roll.

(more cheers)

Ohh -- that looks like a lot of fun. First, we have to give away the car -- then after another Lucky 7, we could give away that trip.

Indeed, it's time for the second half of On A Roll. Let's take a moment to recap where we are. Frank won the first game and $2500 -- including the $1500 he scored in Lucky 7.

Kourtney, in order to stick around, you must solve this next puzzle correctly and score at least $1500 to stay in competition.

Today's guest models have changed jobs. Korrina Rico from "Monopoly Millionaire's Club" is at the game board.

Paige Collings, also from "Monopoly Millionaire's Club", joins Kourtney, Frank and me here at the table.

Let's start the second half with a new name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

How ya like that? Something other than a ten-letter famous last name. This one's eight letters. Here's your clue.

He was on a roll -- when he helped launch "60 Minutes".

(ding)

(Kourtney and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Note from Doug: Both players elected to pass; so....)

---

(time passes as both players shake their heads) (buzz buzz)

I gather you'd rather play a ten-letter name game. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Only kidding. We gotta finish this one, however.

Three more letters are about to pop in -- but we can't give you any more. Clue again.

He was on a roll -- when he helped launch "60 Minutes".

(ding)

---

(Kourtney and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[pathfinder20]

No clue. (I would rather have the 10 letter name game at this point. Ha Ha)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Note from Doug: Again players elected to pass; so....)

---

(scattered laughter from the crowd over Kourtney's remark) (buzz buzz)

Well -- all kidding aside, I get the sense Harry Reasoner was before your time.

(ding)

He and Mike Wallace, both of whom are no longer with us, launched "60 Minutes" back in 1968. Two years later, Harry worked at ABC News -- then came back to CBS in 1978 and stayed with "60 Minutes" until his retirement in 1991.

All right -- no winner on that name game. We move on to a new one.

(ding)

And it'a a seven-letter famous last name. (scans clue) Mmmm -- if you kept up with world events within the last year or so, you should get this one. Here's the clue.

He got on a roll -- when Canada elected him Prime Minister in 2015.

(ding)

(Frank buzzes in)

Frank?

Frank: Trudeau

(dings; audience applause)

Now we're cookin'. Justin Trudeau. His late father, Pierre, was Prime Minister for parts of the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Frank, you're about to take the first of four rolls. But first, we need to load up a new set of clues.


(FF reveal sfx; Korrina poses by numbered and blocked spaces)

There they are -- three words on the top row, four in the middle and two words in the last row.

(Paige hands Frank the dice)

Thanks, Paige. Frank -- you are on a roll.

(Frank rolls)

And you start with a 6 and a 2...

...or an 8.

[fdriscoll22]

Lets go for 6 and 2 on the bottom

[dougmorrisontheair]

First clue letters of the second half are...

(Korrina touches screen)

...a U and...

(Korrina touches screen)

...an M. Ummmm -- (scattered laughter from the crowd) -- wanna take a shot at that bottom clue, Frank?

[fdriscoll22]

Not yet

[dougmorrisontheair]

Please take that second roll of the round.


(Frank rolls)

And -- it's a 4 and a 5...

...or a 9.

[fdriscoll22]

I'll take 4 and 5 on the middle row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Korrina touches screen)

And we have an E...


(Korrina touches screen)

...and an O. With those two vowels, Frank, want to guess the middle clue or roll again?
