ME: That's what I needed. Although most airports are in suburbs, the question specifically asked for a LARGE city. Still, James counts down to 2 points, Matt counts down to 5, and Frank stays at 5. James could go out on this next question. Here's one on U.S. HISTORY.
In the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, many American industrialists gained political and economic power by controlling one industry. For instance, Andrew Carnegie became wealthy in the steel industry. I'll name 3 industrialists, and you name the industry in which they gained their wealth. Look at the screen.
A. John D. Rockefeller
B. Leland Stanford
C. Marshall Field
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Frank, Matt.
ME: James, you only need two! Give me one, please.

Marshall Pierce was the jewelry industry?

ME: Marshall Pierce wasn't one of the names, so I'll have to count that as incorrect. Matt, B or C, please.

(BUZZ!)
ME: It was Matt's turn, anyway. Leland Stanford was in the RAILROAD industry. By the way, James, when you said "founded a department store," that was indeed true, but that's a business. We needed an industry, and RETAIL was right. Matt counts down to 4, Frank counts down to 4, and James stays at 2. James is still the only one who could go out on this question...it's on SPORTS.
In the Ultimate Fighting Championship, there are weight classes, much like there are in boxing. For instance, a UFC fighter who weighs 205 pounds would be in the Light Heavyweight division. I'll give 3 weights in pounds, and you tell me the UFC weight division that corresponds to it. Look at the screen.
A. 155 Pounds
B. 170 Pounds
C. 185 Pounds
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Frank, Matt, James.
ME: Frank, you're first.

I think 185 is the Middleweight division.

155 is Bantamweight?

(BUZZ! BUZZ!)
ME: Sorry, James, your answers are right, but the rules say you have to give them one at a time, or you'll be disqualified from the question. We'll need to move on, I'm afraid (Audience groans). Remember, guys, one answer at a time, please. Score is Matt with 4, Frank with 3, and James with 2. Let's try a question on POLITICS.
The 2016 Presidential campaign featured many high-profile candidates. I'll name 3 of these candidates, and you tell me, if they had won, what would be the First Lady's first name? Look at the screen.
A. Ted Cruz
B. Marco Rubio
C. Bernie Sanders
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Frank, Matt.
ME: James, go ahead! One answer.

ME: We have a champion! (Applause as fanfare plays). Great game, everyone! All three of you made this game exciting, and all of you earned every dollar you got. By the way, the answer for MARCO RUBIO was JEANETTE. That matters not, though, since Matt is leaving us with $1,125 and Frank is leaving with $1,425 (Applause). James, you got an extra thousand for the victory and you have a chance to add a new car to your winnings! Let's go!
(Theme plays as doors to the bonus area open and we begin walking)
BRIAN: Which of these Toyotas will James try for? Find out when we return!

(Theme plays as the camera swings in from an overhead shot of the bonus area, zooming in to a screen positioned between me and James. Brian does this plug...)
BRIAN: All cars for this week's shows are provided by Yorkdale Toyota-Scion. Offering "small town service in the heart of the city," Yorkdale is Toronto's premier dealer for Toyota and Scion sales and service. Visit our showroom or our website at "yorkdale toyota dot com." Now, let's rejoin Jon and James on "Split Second"!
(Shot of us at the base of a series of platforms, each displaying a car and a mounted monitor on the back of each platform. The platforms also have lighted floors.)
ME: Thanks, Brian! We are back with James, who has won $2,800 cash so far and wants to win more. First, let's show you, from left to right, what the five cars are....
(Bonus area darkens slightly as the theme starts back up. As I announce each car's name, the lighted floor beneath it shines and the monitor behind it displays the name.)
ME: You could win the COROLLA LE CVT sedan (Applause)! Or the EIGHTY SIX sports coupe (Applause)! How about the RAV4 SUV (Applause)? Maybe the TACOMA pickup (Applause)? You could also win the YARIS liftback (Applause)! Those are the cars, and here's how you win them. Above the screen beside you are five keys, one for each car. Pick one, and if you go on to select the car that matches it, you retire with the car and the cash you've won so far (Applause)! Go ahead and pick a key, please.
1 2 3 4 5

(James pulls key 4 from the display)
ME: Now, hang on to that key for a few moments. Right now, you have a 1-in-5 chance of selecting the right car. Those aren't good odds, are they?
JAMES: No.
ME: Glad you said that (Laughter). We'll help improve your odds with three 3-part questions. This time, though, you have to give correct answers to all three parts. Do that, and we will black out one of the cars that does NOT go with that key, thereby improving your odds of finding the car. Now, to give you some help, I'll tell you that all three questions have the same three answers; furthermore, in each question, you will only use each answer ONCE. Really, you're just finding the right combination of answers for each question. Ready to see the answers?
(James nods yes)
ME: Here are the answers you will use for all three questions in today's bonus round...(Screen displays)
BLONDE
BRUNETTE
REDHEAD
ME: BLONDE, BRUNETTE, and REDHEAD. Remember, you'll use a combination of those answers for every question. Here's the first one.
In American Slang, there are many terms for people of different hair colors. For instance, a "ginger" is a nickname for a redhead. I'll show you 3 such slang terms, and you match them to their hair colors. Look at the screen.
A. Titian
B. Mousey
C. Towhead
ME: James, give me all three answers at once, and please specify which part goes with which answer, or I'll ask you to correct yourself.
