Very well solved Andrew! (cheering & applause)  You cannot catch Jon just yet, however there is one $750 money card up there Andrew. Perhaps you'll find it here. Select TOP or BOTTOM, and then one of the letters please. |

Post by gameshowgeek50 on Jul 31, 2016 12:24:14 GMT -5
Well we haven't revealed anything in the bottom row just yet, so let's go there and I hope that the $750 card is behind the letter R. "Crosses Fingers".

Bottom and "R" is worth...  Well $450 isn't too bad! (applause)  Jon, time for your third pick from the big board...  Seventeen boxes remain, thirteen have puzzles, four are blocks. Which number Jon? |

Very well, Jon wants to take a P down below... (chuckling in the audience) I can see the NBC sensors standing up in the control booth now!  Well hey Jon, that's a nice pick! $500 more!  Your lead is now $1,000 over Andrew, but there is still a lot of game to play. Andrew the question board is yours...  Beware of those blocks, there are four of them still remaining. What number looks good to you Andrew? |

Post by gameshowgeek50 on Aug 3, 2016 17:47:35 GMT -5
Well the middle row has been good to me so far, so I am going to stick with it and go with number 16 please.

Post by billmcdee on Aug 3, 2016 18:02:01 GMT -5
And sweet 16 is...  (groans in the audience) Darn it all, a block! Very sorry about that Andrew. Hang in there!  One more turn for each of you before we go to our next break. Jon, the ball's in your court once again...  Three blocks left. What number do you select? |

My favorite number because of Lou Gehrig... Four is...  A Wuzzle. This is a picture puzzle that you need to figure out Jon. Our thanks to our good friend Tom Underwood, creator of Wuzzles for inspiring these. Jon, you have until 3pm EST on Saturday, August 6th (thank goodness the weekend is almost here!) to reply with your answer.  |

How much more money will Jon add to his lead?  (cheers & applause) Whoa Nellie! A big $600 money card that time!  $2,050 for you thus far Jon. Andrew, this is the last question in this round before we go to our next break.  11 are good, 3 are bad. You really need to get a question box here Andrew. Good luck, please select a number. |

I got it, thank goodness Antenna TV had a marathon of this show on last Saturday. Now I would sing the theme, but to avoid this show from getting sued for copyright infringement, I am going to say my answer is Green Acres.

Well done! (applause) Andrew, select a letter off of our Cash Cards board please.  We still have a $700 and a big $750 money card up there. If you find one now, that will help, but even if you don't, the next round we play for double the dollars, so that could help you even more. Which letter Andrew and also indicate Top or Bottom please. |

The R on the top row please Bill.

Post by billmcdee on Aug 6, 2016 10:29:10 GMT -5
Up top with the "R"...  Well shucks, only 250 bucks... (ding)  And with our score Jon at $2,050 and Andrew at $700, we'll take a time out, but when we return, each player will play 2 more puzzles, the money amounts will double, then there will be one final wagering round to determine today's winner, so a LOT more WordPlay, after this! |

(Fade in) (applause)  Currently the score is Jon with $2,050 and Andrew with $700. Players, each of you will have two more trips to the big board, and every correct solution will now be worth double whatever money amount you select from our Cash Cards board. Jon, it is once again your turn...  Three blocks lurking up there. Avoid them if you can. What number Jon? |
