The $40,000 Chain Reaction (USA, Episode 12)

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter above ATTACK.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David tries...









...S- (ding) -N.

[gameboy2000]

SNACK?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Good guess -- but not SNACK. Kevin, back to you.

[koopakid17]

Take above Attack.

[dougmorrisontheair]

For Kevin...









...S-N- (ding) -E.

[koopakid17]

Sneak.

[dougmorrisontheair]

*Sneak* attack is the attack we're after here.









(ding; audience applause)

David's guess of a snack attack was a good one, though.

Okay, Kevin, you're $500 away from the win. Each link is worth no less than $750. So the next right answer from you wins it. David, all I can say is keep the faith, hope to get a shot at in and start a run.

Kevin, how do you play it?

[koopakid17]

Take below I Am.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Kevin's going for a little change of scenery...









(ding)

...with an N.

[koopakid17]

That could be so many things...

Nothing?

[dougmorrisontheair]

If it's NOTHING, you'll have a chance to go from virtually nothing to $40,000 in the bonus round.








































(buzz)

Sorry. Not NOTHING. David, you've been granted a reprieve.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter below I AM.

[dougmorrisontheair]

N- (ding) -U, for you, David.

[gameboy2000]

NUMBER ONE?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ooooh -- good guess -- but not NUMBER ONE.

Kevin, another shot at the championship if you take a letter.

[koopakid17]

Take below I Am.

[dougmorrisontheair]

For the game, Kevin,...









N-U- (ding) -M.

[koopakid17]

I may as well build on David's answer...

Number Two?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

To borrow a line from one of our all-time favorite teammates, "Get your minds out of the gutter!"

(more laughter from the crowd)

If it's NUMBER TWO, you're the new champ, Kevin.







































(buzz)

Not right. Sorry. David, it's back to you.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter under I AM.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David tries to stay in business with...









(ding)

...N-U-M-B.

[gameboy2000]

NUMBER THREE?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not NUMBER THREE. Kevin, another shot to take this home.

[koopakid17]

There aren't a lot of numbers left to choose from.

Let's go above Sneak this time. I'll take.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, leaving that second link from the top alone...









(ding)

...and taking a Q.

[koopakid17]

Quiet?

[dougmorrisontheair]

If it's QUIET, Kevin wins it.







































(buzz) (scattered groans)

No. Kevin, sorry, but you can't quite close the deal. David, it's another break for you.

[gameboy2000]

I'll take a letter above SNEAK.

[dougmorrisontheair]

David guesses...









(ding)

...and where there's a Q, a U usually follows -- and does here.
