So sorry for the delay. I'm ready to go:  Bob Hilton: This is the battlefield for our game of speed and strategy!  These are the letters that lead to victory on Blockbusters! With your host, Kevin Kolsen! Me: Hello, everybody! Welcome once again to Blockbusters! We're sort of like the alphabet version of Jeopardy! where we give you the letters and you have to give us the answers that start with them. We had a champ yesterday who's off to a fine start. He won the Gold Rush and $22,000, please welcome Matt Riggerberg. *applause* Not a bad showing yesterday. You pulled through in the Gold Rush. How did that feel? |

Okay, great to have you here. Best of luck to both of you as we begin our game. 25 letters on the board, each of them is the beginning of the answer it corresponds to. When you answer a question correctly, you get a block on the board. Get a connection using those blocks and you win a round. It takes two rounds to go to the Gold Rush which is currently worth $10,000. Matt, since you're the champ, you play with the red blocks connecting top to bottom.  Lenny, you get to control the white blocks as you try to connect side to side.  Our board will randomly select which letter we will start with:  The letter J. Hands on your buzzers, contestants. The first question of this game will have a J-answer. Here it comes: "What 'J' was the occupation of poor Yorick in Shakespeare's Hamlet?" BUZZ: 10 1st: Lenny (2) 2nd: Matt (24) Lenny? |

 Get this and you will have an anchor on the right side of the board. Answer starts with C. "What 'C' is someone who has lived to be 100 years old?" BUZZ: 24 1st: Lenny (66) 2nd: Matt (83) Lenny again. |

Going to S.  You're hoping to continue your trek across the board. Matt's aiming to stop you in your tracks. S-question is as follows: "What 'S' killed Cleveland Indian Ray Chapman in 1920?" BUZZ: 61 1st: Lenny (80) 2nd: Matt (23) It's Lenny. |

It was a spitball, the block's yours! *applause* *ding*  Almost there already. You have two more blocks. Where to now? |

Your choice is H.  Get this and you'll be one away from a side to side connection. "What 'H' was launched by NASA in 1990?" BUZZ: 34 1st: Lenny (65) 2nd: Matt (69) Lenny again. |

Hubble is right for another white block! *applause* *ding*  I can't believe the luck you're having with that buzzer, Lenny. Four straight blocks for you and now you're one away from Round 1 and $1,000. Two ways to do it. Which letter would you like? |

Post by koopakid17 on Nov 13, 2016 21:48:24 GMT -5
 Get this, Lenny, and you will have a sweep for this round. Answer starts with R: "What 'R' has a steer and a turtle for friends and owns a dog named Spunky?" BUZZ: 99 1st: Matt (70) 2nd: Lenny (20) Matt? |

 Safe spot for now. Lenny can't win with that choice. Here is the next question, answer begins with O. "What 'O' do female elephants do every 13-18 weeks?" BUZZ: 24 1st: Matt (23) 2nd: Lenny (49) Matt again. |
