[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ tries...









(ding)

...the R above CRUSOE.

[koopakid17]

Robinson.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nailed it.









(ding; audience applause)

Another $500 for you -- and you still control.

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Per a vacation notice from Kevin (he's an accountant and entering a busy time of year at the office between now and mid-April), the next few moves will be "untimed downs".]

[koopakid17]

I will take again above Robinson.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ wants to hang on to this...









(ding)

...with a D.

[koopakid17]

David?

[dougmorrisontheair]

David "The Admiral" Robinson. That's it!









(ding; audience applause)

Go Spurs GO!

All right, Kevin. Two grand. The money link's in reach. How do you play it?

[koopakid17]

I'll take below Duck this time.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Leaving the bonus money alone for now and taking...









(ding)

...an S under DUCK.

[koopakid17]

Soup.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Oh good guess. Great Marx Brothers movie -- but not SOUP.

James, over to you.

[Deleted]

A letter above David

[dougmorrisontheair]

Man from L.A., or Lower Alabama, goes for the money....









(ding)

...starting with C.

[Deleted]

Dunno

[dougmorrisontheair]

No guess -- meaning we'll go back to Kevin.

[koopakid17]

I'll take a letter above David.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ's first shot at the money...









(ding)

...with C-A.

[koopakid17]

Wish I went this way before.

Camp.

[dougmorrisontheair]

No matter when you nail it, CAMP is right.









(ding; audience applause)

And with the money link, at $250 per letter in CAMP, you've just won a bonus of $1000.

And you lead by $2000 in the game.

Where do you want to go?

[koopakid17]

I'll take above Camp.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ tries for more upward mobility...









(ding)

...with another initial S.

[koopakid17]

Summer.

[dougmorrisontheair]

SUMMER is right.










(ding; audience applause)




jman8606
koopakid17


Well -- the champ's on quite a run. Last link's now worth $1000 -- $500 for the right answer and the other $500 for the completion of the chain. Are you giving or taking the next letter, Kevin?

[koopakid17]

I'll take.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Kevin's going to try the finish the round with...









(ding)

...S-E.

[koopakid17]

Sea?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Not SEA. James, perhaps a break for you.

[Deleted]

I'll take a letter under duck

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, two pieces of information to avoid any misinformation. First, James, the letter you're taking below DUCK is also above SUMMER -- *and* -- put the letter up there, please...









(ding)

...S-E-A -- and there's at least one more letter after the A.

[Deleted]

Season?
