Right now, we're looking for Raymond Weaver to play against the champ. Please let me know and be on complete standby.

George Gray: No Devils to avoid...
No Dragons to slay...
Just two decks of cards...
Is all we need to play...[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
And here is the host of Card Sharks... Tony Lane![LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, George Gray. Give it up for our announcer George... George: Thank you, Tony. Happy TGIF, everybody!!!!Tony: And a happy TGIF to you... the folks at home who's watching us. Welcome to Card Sharks... TV's game of decisions... where you could win a fortune in cash and prizes on the turn of a single card. And if you play your cards right, you could win as much as $168,000 including a brand new automobile. I would like to say a very special thanks to Rachel Barnhart for that opening poem. She watches us on channel 8... WROC in my hometown of Rochester, New York. In our last episode, we've seen our champion who had six digits on his very first win. We'll meet him later... but first, let's meet our special guest card dealers. They've been here with us all week long and they're back one final time. From the celebrity gossip program "Dish Nation", please welcome... from "The Kid Kraddick Morning Show", Jenna Owens and from "The Heidi & Frank Show", Sammi Marino! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Sammi: Hi, everyone. It's been a great pleasure dealing out the cards. Jenna: You know it. I hope we do that again sometimes soon. Tony: I hope so too, Jenna. Now that both of you are here... let's get to the cards! [MAIN THEME, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And while these ladies set up the board, let's say hello to these Card Sharks.*contestants run to their podiums* Our contestants for today's game are Raymond Weaver and our returning champion Bill McDee. First, let's meet Raymond for a moment. Please tell us about yourself, Raymond. |

Well I am 49, turning the big five-oh at the end of this year, and 5 is a very good number to me. I bet over $30,000 higher on a 5 and won, and I won that great car with number 5 on yesterday's show!
I have a son who is in his final days of his junior year of high school. His mother and I have been married now over 25 years. We reside near Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, and I have been gainfully employed as a data entry specialist for a pharmaceutical research firm since March 1999.

I hope you'll continue doing a great job for your family and community, Bill. Good luck to you. We play the best 2 out of 3 games. The winner gets to play the Money Cards for thousands more and at least a chance of winning a brand new automobile. We'll reveal that at the end of the show. Right now, let's begin round 1 with our first question. *grabs card* Bill... we've asked 100 doctors-- Do you think acupuncture works?How many of them say that acupuncture does work? |

Post by billmcdee on Jun 10, 2016 14:48:43 GMT -5
Oh my, you really are putting me on the spot here Tony. If I don't get close to the right number, I'll feel foolish, since I work with a pharmaceutical research firm especially!
Many medical doctors have ties with the pharma companies I believe, and I don't know that a great many of them would necessarily endorse acupuncture.
Then again, it is a confidential survey, and the question simply asked them if they thought it worked.
I think, given those parameters, 37 will say that yes, acupuncture does work.

[DING]37 out of 100 say that acupuncture does work. What do you think, Raymond... higher or lower?

Post by bowlerraymond on Jun 10, 2016 16:26:08 GMT -5
I agree with Bill's logic, so I'm gonna say lower.

I agree with Bill's logic, so I'm gonna say lower. Any reasons why you think it's lower, Raymond? |

Post by bowlerraymond on Jun 11, 2016 3:48:30 GMT -5
I don't think a doctor is gonna openly admit that acupuncture could work.

Post by tmann3x on Jun 11, 2016 12:19:20 GMT -5
OK. [DING]If it's lower, you'll play your cards. If not, Bill will be playing his cards. And if one of you gets the answer exactly, will receive a $1,000 bonus. Bill says 37 and Raymond says it's lower. The actual number of doctors say that acupuncture does work is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]36... by one! And Raymond will begin round 1 with his base card-- --an 8. |

Lower than a Queen... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]It's a washer and dryer. If you win this round or in the second round, that prize is yours. Sammi will now place the washer and dryer in your prize column while Jenna hands me a replacement card. Do you still want to call on your Queen lower, Raymond? |

I feel for you Raymond, I got burned by a King on yesterday's show!
I'll play the odds and say the next card will be lower than the 9 Tony.

Is it lower...? [BUZZER, AUDIENCE CONTINUES TO GROAN]No... it's another 9. Both players haven't gained a single inch... but it's just the beginning. Coming up after the break, we'll have a second question ready for our challenger. We're coming back with more of Card Sharks right after this commercial time out. Don't go away...

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Card Sharks. I hope you're enjoying TGIF as much as we do. Before the break, let's see what the board looks like... Both players haven't made a single progressive move. Raymond stuck with a Queen while our champion Bill is stuck with a 9. Let's return to the game with our second question. *grabs card* Raymond... we've asked 100 marriage counselors-- Does having a baby help a troubled marriage?How many of them say yes... having a baby does help a troubled marriage? |

Post by bowlerraymond on Jun 13, 2016 0:20:17 GMT -5
I personally don't think having a baby in a marriage that isn't working is good because if you guys are having issues whether it's about money or orher things, the last thing they would need is a baby. I'm gonna say 20 of them think it's a good idea.

Post by tmann3x on Jun 14, 2016 0:56:07 GMT -5
[DING]20 out of 100 say that having a baby does help a troubled marriage. Higher or lower, Bill?
|
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jun 14, 2016 8:07:37 GMT -5
I believe conventional wisdom among therapists and among people in general says that it's rare if ever that a baby helps a troubled marriage, so I'll say it's even lower than 20.

Post by tmann3x on Jun 15, 2016 22:25:09 GMT -5
Now that E3 is officially over, I'm back to work. [DING]Raymond says 20 and Bill says it's lower.... And the actual number of marriage counselors say that having a baby does help a troubled marriage is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]18. Bill's right... it is lower. Bill... you have a 9 as your base card. Do you want to play this middle card or change it? |
