ME: I wouldn't have guessed. Let's see dead center, numero cinco! (Number 5 fades away....BONG-BONG!)  ME: Good start. An O and $1,000 cash. What's next? |

Number 1, please.

ME: How about numero uno? (Number 1 fades away....BONG-BONG!)  (Audience applauds) ME: An X means that the Treasure is out of play, but you still have $2,000 cash and can add to it. What's next? |

ME: Let's check out numero tres! (Number 3 fades away as the camera zooms in....BONG-BONG!)  (Win cue plays as the crowd cheers and Marc shakes my hand) ME: Tic Tac Dough - three in a row! Congratulations, Marc, you've got the gameroom package and $4,000! Let's see where everything else was, along with your grand total. (Reveal effects)  ME: Number 8 had the Dragon, and your grand total so far is SIXTY-SIX THOUSAND AND SIXTY DOLLARS! We've got your fifth game coming up soon, right after this! (Theme plays) |

ME: Well, Marc, the time has come...this is your fifth match. Win this, and I give you the keys to this. Jim? (Car cue plays)  JIM: For your driving enjoyment, it's a new SMART CAR! The Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe combines comfort, durability, performance, and excitement into one tight package. Comes with all standard features. This prize is worth SIXTEEN THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS ($16,140)! ME: One man, though, wants to stop your winning ways. Here he comes now! (Contestant intro cue plays as the doors open behind Marc. The challenger descends the staircase, shakes hands with Marc, and takes the O podium) JIM: Our next player works at a doughnut shop in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Playing O will be RAYMOND WEAVER! ME: Raymond, it's nice to meet you. Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you're feeling going into this important match. |

My name is Raymond Weaver, I'm 26 years old from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and I work at a doughnut show. I know I'm going up against a very good opponent here and just gotta give it my all.

ME: That's the right attitude to have, Raymond. Indeed, Marc has been one tough customer, only missing the one question. However, we will see if you can go toe-to-toe with him in these nine categories. (Reveal effects)  ME: We've got SPIRIT OF '76; SPIES AND SLEUTHS; SECRET CATEGORY; FACES, which will be our visual category; JAZZ MUSIC; BY THE NUMBERS; ARAB WORLD; DRAGON SLAYER; and...oh, yeah! We're gonna make you say some "CUS" WORDS! (Audience applauds and laughs at that one) Quick note about the red categories: the SECRET CATEGORY will double the pot with one right answer, while in DRAGON SLAYER (our new red category), a correct answer to a two-part question will entitle you to a Dragon Slayer token, which will help you should you make the Bonus Round. However, you'll only be allowed to possess one Dragon Slayer token at a time, but I'll explain what will happen if you choose it again when we get to that juncture. ME: Remember, a car is on the line for Marc. Marc, you will start us off. Good luck, and make your first choice! |

I'll go with "CUS" words in the corner.

Post by jmdarrall on Oct 6, 2016 10:22:01 GMT -5
ME: All of these answers will contain the letters "CUS" consecutively and in that order. They need not start with those letters, though. Keep that in mind as you answer this.
All humans have eight of these, located between the molars and canines. They are known as the "transitional teeth," as they help transfer food to the molars for grinding during chewing. For the box....name these teeth also called "premolars."

ME: They certainly are (Applause)! You've got the bottom right corner and $500 in the pot (BONG-BONG!). We'll shuffle for Raymond now. (Shuffle effects)  ME: Raymond, select. |

ME: Center box question, so it's a two-parter. In this category, all questions have to do with the founding years of the U.S.
In 1781, the American Revolution effectively ended when the British general in charge of the Southern campaign of the Revolution found himself surrounded by General Washington's Continental Army and the French Fleet. His surrender took place in a town in Eastern Virginia that is now part of that state's "Historic Triangle." For the box, please...
1. Name the general who surrendered.
2. Name the town where this took place.
You have some extra time to consider your answers (Extra time cue plays.....BONG!). Raymond, please name the general who surrendered and the Virginia town where it happened. Remember to include the numbers, as well as the answers.

2. Yorktown

Post by jmdarrall on Oct 8, 2016 17:32:35 GMT -5
ME: It was indeed Yorktown, Virginia, but the general was LORD CORNWALLIS (Audience groans). Nathan Hale was in the Continental Army, and was already killed before the surrender. Don't worry, you can bounce back. Let's shuffle for Marc. (Shuffle effects)  ME: Marc, select. |

ME: All right. We'll see how you do with this two-part question.
I'll name two countries on the Arabian Peninsula, and you tell me their capital cities.
1. Saudi Arabia.
2. United Arab Emirates.
Here is your extra time (Extra time cue plays.....BONG!). OK, champ. I need the capital cities of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, please.

ME: Who's afraid of a geography question, huh? That's right (Slight laughter and applause)! The pot goes to $1,500 and Marc forces Raymond to go on the defensive. Let's see what he does. (Shuffle effects)  (Audience reacts with mild shock) ME: Raymond, where to? |

ME: Crucial juncture this is. Raymond, indeed, if you are right, this will be a block. If you are wrong, Marc will get a chance to steal and ultimately win. Either way, a right answer will result in a doubled pot. Listen very carefully, both of you. Raymond, you are up first.
The subject of this question is CURRENCY.
Video gamers know that this is the "currency" of the Kingdom of Hyrule in the "Legend of Zelda" franchise. However, in the real world, it is the currency of eight different countries, including Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and India. For the box, and a pot worth $3,000....name the currency.

(Audience groans)
ME: Oh, dear. Sorry to hear that, Raymond. I will give it to Marc. Marc, as a reminder, a correct answer here will be your fifth Tic Tac Dough. That means you will win $3,000 in cash AND the Smart Car for a cumulative total of...
EIGHTY-FIVE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!
(Audience oooohs and ahhhhhs)
ME: Marc, for the victory.....can you name the currency?
