(men cheer again)

I can tell where you guys are headed for dinner when this taping session's over. (audience laughs) Is it Hooters?

(ding)

(audience applause)

Of course.

(spins awarded sfx)

All right, going into our final set of questions and answers, Bryan, I see you trying to buzz in. Others have been hotter on the trigger. Kevin up to 7 spints, James up to 5 and Bryan still at 2. Last set of answers.

(ding)

Dice, cards or a spinning wheel. Here's your question.


In the game of Sorry!, what do you need to move your playing pieces?

Kevin?

[koopakid17]

Cards.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Card he says. Does he say right?

(ding)

(audience applause)

Yes. Kevin, you'll take into the final round...

(spins awarded sfx)

...a mighty big ten spins. Last question for one spin for the others.

(ding)

Right answer's either dice or a spinning wheel. Here comes the query.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

It is the spinning wheel!

[dougmorrisontheair]

What goes up -- must come down.

(ding)

(audience applause)

Spinning wheel, that's what helps your car move around.

(spins awarded sfx)

(theme music plays)

Bryan takes three spins into the last round, James five and Kevin with a mighty ten.

You'll recall Bryan won a previous game with just a few spins. Can he do it again -- or will one of the challengers snatch the crowd. Final round -- with some new twists -- after this.

(audience cheers)

(theme plays)

Doc Holiday: Think you have what it takes to win the big bucks? Call the Second Chance contestant hotline at 1-800-555-SCSC. That's 1-800-555-SCSC. Now back to Doug Morris and the final round of Second Chance.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Doc. By the way, we've finally worked the bugs out on the money machine. Perhaps you'll see how it works later. Right now, let's get set for our third and final round of the game.

Kevin's the one to beat. He brings $9300 and ten big spins into the final round. Bryan's in second place in the all important money department with 7800 and three spins. James in last place with $3100 and five spins.

But it's still anyone's game. The stakes are higher -- and so are the dangers.

The Big Bucks space in the top row now offers money *and* an extra spin. Big Bucks can now represent any payoff from $5000 to $10,000.

(woos from the crowd)

The chance spaces can represent anything -- from $1000 to $10,000. Any mystery space could also offer a choice to make, money with an extra spin -- or even a bust.

(boos from the crowd)

And to further prove there are more risks, the bust spaces are active on *every* spin for the rest of the game. This means you're risking everything you've won every time you play Second Chance.

Let's go back to the board before we start rolling it. We've hidden an extra spin in one of the corners. If you find that extra spin, you'll be awarded the money and the spin. You'll know you've found it -- when "extra spin" lights up and surrounds that money amount.  Once you land on that corner space with the extra spin, another corner will hide an extra spin.

And then we have the money machine over here. If you land on a chance space and it gives you a chance at the machine, you could win up to $10,000.

(audience cheers)

Minimum guarantee is $1000, by the way, in accordance with everything else.

Even with those new elements to our game, if you have that sneaking suspicion you're going to land on a bust space, you may pass all your spins to the opponent who's leading. When spins are passed to you, you must play all of the spins until you've finished your last passed spin or you bust.

The player who ends this round with the highest money score wins the game, keeps all the loot -- and comes back tomorrow.

Kevin, with the highest money score, you'll play last in the round.

(board spins)

James since you have the least amount of money, you'll start us off. So -- play a spin or pass?

(James, please respond with "play" or "pass". If you wish to play, please also "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[Deleted]

Play! STOP! (G)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

$4750. Great first spin.

So great, you just zoomed into second place. Not much of a difference between second and third -- $50.

With four spins left, James, play or pass?

(audience shouts suggestions)

(James, please respond with "play" or "pass". If you wish to play, please also "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[Deleted]

Play! Come on! Big bucks! Big bucks! No whammies! STOP! (H)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

$2250. Should give you the lead...

...and it does. You're in the five-digit community with $10,100. That's just $800 more than Kevin.

You have three spins left. Play one or pass 'em all to Kevin?

(audience shouts suggestions)

(board spins)

(James, please respond with "play" or "pass". If you wish to play, please also "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[Deleted]

I'll pass em!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Passing the spins. All right.

Kevin, these three spins you must play -- but you don't play them *quite* yet. Remember, you're spinning last in this round.

We now turn to Bryan, the champ. You're now in third place with $7800 and three spins. Play or pass?

(audience shouts suggestions)

(Bryan, please respond with "play" or "pass". If you wish to play, please also "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[Bryan]

STOP! (N)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

An even three large.

Just like that, *you* zoom into the lead, Bryan. You lead by $700 over James. Also, the difference between first and last place is $1500. So this is a close game right now.

With two spins left, Bryan, play or pass?

STOP! (H)

(ding)

(scattered cheers)

First chance space of the final round. Could get an activation of the money machine. Could lead to big bucks. Could lead to a bust. Let's unravel.































(ding)

(audience cheers)

$3000 and an extra spin.

$13,800, Bryan, and *still* two spins. Play one or pass both to James?

(audience shouts suggestions)

(board spins)

[Bryan]

Maximum amount on the board is $10,000 right Doug?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Sure is. You could score up to $10,000 through the courtesy of Big Bucks or a chance space's activation of the money machine. Chance could advance you to big bucks -- which could put ten large in your podium.

[Bryan]

In that case! STOP! (N)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

$1775.

Obviously, that extra spin is hiding in another corner. Perhaps we'll find it later. Bryan, right now you lead by $5475 over James. You have one spin left. Play it or pass it?

(audience shouts suggestions)

(board spins)

[Bryan]

I'll take it! STOP! (I)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

Another $3000.

$18,575 and, for now, the lead.

But now here comes Kevin. Kevin, you racked up ten spins in the earlier round -- but James passed three spins your direction.

You *must* take all three spins -- unless you hit a bust on this or the next spin. So let's roll that board.

(board spins)

And let's see if you can defend you $9300 while trying to add more.

---

(Kevin, please "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[koopakid17]

That's okay, I'm willing to take them anyway. Let's go and...stop! (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

$1337 -- and there's the extra spin.

Kevin, before you spin again, please let me explain you're now in the five-digit community with $10,000 and change. You just took second place in the process.

That extra spin joins the other ten spins you scored in the last round. That floating extra spin now goes to another corner.

You still have two spins that you must take. Here comes the next one.

(board spins)

(Kevin, please "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[koopakid17]

Stop! (E)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(scattered woos and cheers)

Chance space. Could lead to a lot of money -- or it could lead to a bust. Let's see what happens.

































(ding)

(audience cheers)

Double your money and an extra spin!!!

Kevin, you now have more than $21,000. You now have the lead. But there's one more spin you must take. Here it comes.

(board spins)

[koopakid17]

Okay...STOP! (O)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

Three grand.

All right, Kevin, you lead the champ by roughly $5700. You now have 12 spins -- which aren't mandatory. You may play a spin and try to pad your lead -- or pass the entire dozen over to Bryan.

What's your choice?

(Kevin, please respond with "play" or "pass". If you wish to play, please also "STOP" with a letter from A through R inclusive.)

[koopakid17]

I might as well go for it for now. Stop! (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

$1337

$25,611 for you, Kevin. You're leading by $7000 and change over Bryan. Play another spin or pass them all to the champ?
