The $40,000 Chain Reaction (USA; Episode 15)

[Deleted]

A letter above leave

[billmcdee]

If nothing else I am proving beyond the shadow of any doubt that I did NOT create this chain

[dougmorrisontheair]

James takes the second letter above LEAVE...









(ding)

V-I.

Visit?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Good guess -- but it's not VISIT.

(looks at watch)

Why do I get the feeling by the time we finish this chain it'll be time for the *closing* ceremonies?

(audience laughs; smattering of applause)

Only kidding. Bill, back to you.

[billmcdee]

I will take a letter for myself above LEAVE please Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All kidding aside, let's see if you can score first, Bill...









(ding)

...with V-I-S.

[billmcdee]

Is it VISA?

[dougmorrisontheair]

VISA is right.









(ding; audience applause)

All right, Bill. You've scored first -- and the chain's still yours.

[billmcdee]

I will take a letter for myself above VISA please Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bill keeps it and takes...









(ding)

...the letter C.

[billmcdee]

CREDIT CARD

[dougmorrisontheair]

Boom! Right off the bat.









(ding; audience applause)

Now we're cookin'. Bill, you're up to $500. Now how do you play it?

[billmcdee]

I will take a letter for myself above CREDIT CARD please Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Challenger maintains possession...









(ding)

...with the letter P above CREDIT CARD.

[billmcdee]

PHONY....I guess I have illegal immigration on my mind!

Also, please check the vacation thread.  I will try to get on as a player if I can while away.

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Due to a host oversight, where in the "P" somehow replaced "CREDIT CARD", I'm giving Bill another chance. Phony's wrong, BTW. Also, with Bill's vacay note, this guess for Bill is an untimed down.

Annnnd -- take two.]

...with the letter P above CREDIT CARD.

[billmcdee]

Thanks.

PAYMENT

[dougmorrisontheair]

We'll give it to you. We're just looking for PAY.









(ding; audience applause)

You've heard of "mowin' 'em down". Bill's mowin' 'em up. Chain's still yours, Bill.

[billmcdee]

I'll give myself a letter above PAY please, Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bill tries to keep on keepin' on ...









(ding)

...with an H.

[billmcdee]

HOURLY

[dougmorrisontheair]

Great guess -- but it's not HOURLY. James, chance to get on the scoreboard.

[Deleted]

A letter by H please and ib the words of the fabulous thunderbirds: Wrap it up. I'll tske it

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

I think the producers tried to sell "Rock & Roll Chain Reaction" to another network -- to no avail.









(ding)

In any event, James, you're taking an O next to the H above PAY.

[Deleted]

Hours?

[dougmorrisontheair]

No -- not HOURS. And it's back to Bill.

[billmcdee]

I will take the next letter above PAY please, Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bill tries it with...










(ding)

...H-O-L.
