*Billy buzzes in (60)*
Billy?
Billy: Let's go with Science Fictions.
Yeah, let's go with that. You're right. (audience cheers)



Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)





Got two ones, a 5, a 4, and a 2.

[Billy Gardell]

Hmmm... Let's... hold the ones.

[palmer7]

(audience reacts) OK, going with the ones. (Leyla collects the dice and goes back to her spot)


Leyla, let's see some more snake eyes! Roll the dice! (she does)







Two sixes and another one! That's a full house! (audience cheers) Do you want to take the Full House at $2,500; the three of a kind at $1,500; or do you want another question?

[Billy Gardell]

I'll take the Full House!

[palmer7]

(ding)
(audience cheers)

Another runaway game, this is going to look like. Billy already leads by $8,600. Next question:


Which European country replaced the Escudo with the Euro?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 53)
*Andrew buzzes in (45)*
Andrew?
Andrew: Not if I have something to say about it, Greece?
That's right, you're wrong. It's Portugal. Greece had the drachma.


Billy, you get the dice again. Actually, Leyla has the dice, but she will roll them on your behalf, you see. This explanation is called "filling time" . Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)







Well, that almost has the makings for another full house, doesn't it? Two threes, two ones, and a six.

[Billy Gardell]

I'll take the threes and reroll the rest.

[palmer7]

Rerolling three dice. (Leyla collects the dice and gets back in position)

Billy, what'd you have in mind?

[palmer7]

Just thought I'd ask before we roll.

[Billy Gardell]

I need to clean up those of-a-kinds, because those are hard to get.

[palmer7]

Well, let's hope you get it. Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)







(audience cheers)


Now you've got at least four of a kind there! Well done. Now, Billy, you can either clear your three-of-a-kind or your four-of-a-kind and get $100 a point.... or you can answer another question in the hopes of perhaps getting a Yahtzee. What is your decision? (audience shouts suggestions)

[Billy Gardell]

I'll do the question.

[palmer7]

OK. Andrew, stand by. Billy, here's the question.



What is a young bee fed to develop into a queen?

[Billy Gardell]

Royal Jelly!

[palmer7]

Exactly right! (audience cheers) I think I know which dice you're going to hold, but tell us anyway.

[Billy Gardell]

Yes, hold the threes!

[palmer7]

(audience cheers) OK, all the threes are held. You've guaranteed yourself at least one of those -of-a-kinds, with $1,200 plus whatever you roll here. Now, if you get another three, then you'll get a Yahtzee and $5,000! (audience cheers) But then, you already knew that. I've given everything away. 


Leyla, roll the die! (she does)








YAHTZEE!





(dings)
(audience cheers)



Yahoo! Now, Billy..... we've got to make it official. You can still use that on the three or four-of-a-kind and pick up $1,500, but we all know better, don't we?

[Billy Gardell]

Yes, score it in the YAHTZEE!

[palmer7]

Scoring it in the Yahtzee for $5,000!

(ding)
(audience cheers)

[      ]              [Chance]




Billy is on a roll. Andrew, it's not too late to get in the game. Next question.


What artist painted the popular painting "The Night Watch"?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 19)
*Andrew buzzes in (50)*
Andrew?
Andrew: Please let luck be on my side for this one, Vincent Van Gogh?
Uh uh. Rembrandt. Billy, you get the dice again.



Now, if you roll a Yahtzee again, you'll get $10,000 and will be able to clear any spot you want. (audience cheers) Leyla, roll those dice. (she does)





Two twos, two ones, and a five.

[Billy Gardell]

Hmmm.... Hold the twos.

[palmer7]

(Leyla separates the twos)


OK, looking for three more twos. Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)






Well, we've got another two! (audience applauds) That gives you three of a kind, if you'd like to take it. Otherwise, you can take another question.

[Billy Gardell]

Question, please.

[palmer7]

One question coming up.

Which substance can you not eat, if you have celiac disease?

[Billy Gardell]

Wheat?

[palmer7]

That is incorrect. Chance to steal here, Andrew, if you can give me the right answer.

[gameshowgeek50]

I believe that is Gluten Greg.

[palmer7]

And you are correct. (audience cheers)


Well, Andrew, you finally get control here. Time to do some catching up. You have three twos, a four, and a five. Will you take off one of the categories on your board or will you hold anything or what?

[gameshowgeek50]

At this point I need all the help that I can get.

I will keep the three two's and re-roll the four and the five and hope for a Yahtzee.

[palmer7]

(audience cheers)


Well, at least this way, you'll be guaranteed at least a three-of-a-kind. Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)







A three and a four. Possible options include chance or three-of-a-kind. What do you want to do?
