I need a player to take on our five-time champion Matt who broke the six-figure barrier on the last show. Who's got game?

Jim Thornton: Two simple calls if you know how to use 'em. For money and cars, you just can't refuse 'em on...  And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen! Me: Hello, everybody! Have we got an exciting game here for you today on Card Sharks. We have a champ who's been cleaning house. In fact, he's already won more than $100,000 on this show. And he's got an opponent who I believe is ready to take him down! Here come today's Card Sharks! *Matt and Michael run to their podiums* Let's say hello again to our returning champion, Matt, who is here for his sixth show with $109,610! *cheers and applause* Of course, that last game wasn't without its drama. What was going through your mind during that tiebreaker? |

Here's hoping things will work our for you, Michael. That's what this show is all about. Let's jump right into this game. The lovely Charlene and the lovely Jewel will now deal the cards on your rows...
MATT

MICHAEL
[CS][CS][CS][CS][CS]
You're aiming to call those cards from one side of the board to the other. Doing so will net you $500 cash and if you win two rounds, you move onto the money cards. You gain control of the cards by answering these high-low questions. As always, the first question of the game goes to our champ. Matt, we surveyed 100 people:
"Do cheaters prosper?"
How many people said no they do not?

34 out of 100 say cheaters do not prosper...

Michael, do you think the actual number of people who said that is higher or lower than 34?

I think it's going to be a little bit higher.

[34][42][HI]
*dingdingding*
42 of them! So the proverb hasn't stood the test of time. Michael was right so he gets the first crack of the cards...
MICHAEL
[CS][CS][CS][CS][CS]
Your base card is...
MICHAEL
[JK][CS][CS][CS][CS]
Look, a Joker!
*applause*
That's going to help you out if you win this game. However, we must give you a new base card. You're going to start out with...
MICHAEL
[Q♥][CS][CS][CS][CS]
A Queen!

Hey, look! There's a Joker for you, too! This will really help you in our bonus round. We'll replace this one for now.

Same call on the five, Matt?

If it's higher than the three, you're won Game 1...

And you have!
*'86 CS Win Cue*
All the way across the board to win the first game of the match. Michael, we'll give you an opportunity to catch up when we come back after these words!

We're now set to begin Game 2 of this match, Our cards have been reshuffled and placed back on the game board. Michael, since your opponent blazed through to win the last game, you will answer the first high-low question this time. Our man on the street went to Disneyland where he found 100 park-goers and asked them:
"What is your favorite ride at Disneyland?"
Michael, how many of them said it was Space Mountain?

I think it's going to be somewhere in the middle, I'll say 58.

58 out of 100...

Matt, do you think that number will be higher or lower than that?

It has to be a little higher.

Little higher...
[HI][__][58]
*ding*
Both of you on the same track thinking Space Mountain is Disneyland's most popular ride. The actual number of visitors who said that was their favorite ride is...
[HI][39][58]
39 of them! In the other direction and that means Michael will have control of the cards first yet again.
MICHAEL
[CS][CS][CS][CS][CS]
Here's hoping this goes better for you, Michael. Your base card is...
MICHAEL
[7♣][CS][CS][CS][CS]
A seven. Play or change?
