All,
I am currently working on episode 3. I already have someone signed up to challenge Steve during episode 3.
I am hopeful to have the game started within the next couple of days or so. Might be delayed as we're scheduled to have thunderstorms, believe it or not, later today, right when I get home from work, which is when I usually devote time to my net game visuals, that is when I don't have other chores that need my attention and when I have the energy to do so.
Thanks for your patience and loyalty and keep watching for updates on this thread.
Best,
Bill

(Drumroll)  Frank Caliendo (imitating Charlie Tuna): Champion Steve Anderson is back with...  Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): Thirty-thousand three hundred dollars and will try to make it again to the Bonus Sprint, today on "Scrabble"! (Main opening theme plays)... Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): A nine letter word, the clue is.... Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): He always gave his fans the silent treatment....   (Audience in unison) "VALENTINO!" (Wild cheering & applause)  Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): It's the crossword game you've played all your life, but never quite like this!  Audience (in unison) "SCRABBLE!" Frank Caliendo: With the master of the tiles, Bill McDee! (cheering & applause)  Hey, that's me! Thank you everybody, thank you Frank and welcome to the television version of everybody's favorite game. On our last show we crowned a new champion and debuted our exciting Jackpot Tiles game. One of our two contestants later on today will have the opportunity to play the Bonus Sprint as well as those Jackpot tiles, more than sixty-thousand dollars could be won today alone! (NBC canned WHOOOAHS!)... Here's Frank to reintroduce our newly crowned champion and today's challenger, Frank? (Contestant theme)  All the way from the United Kingdom, today's challenger is Sam Ryan! (applause) And our current champion, a food service manager from Plymouth, Massachusetts, with one day cash winnings totaling...THIRTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! Welcome back Steve Anderson! (Wild cheering & applause) Steve, welcome back to Scrabble. You really raked in the dough on yesterday's show! Before we get started, is there anything else you'd like to share with our viewing audience about yourself, or are you just eager to have at it again? |

I've been working on a couple of side jobs with my decorating business, and in general getting ready for the holidays..And the 30 grand I won yesterday will go a long way towards that.

Oh I see, is the decorating you do specific to this time of year, or is this more like an interior decorating type venue?

Wow, that sounds fantastic! Maybe for my 50th birthday later this month you could do a balloon animal for me!
Welcome back Steve and good luck as you try to add to your 30 thou plus.
Visiting us all the way from the U.K., he did a Brexit of his own to fly here to Los Angeles to play Scrabble is Sam Ryan!
(applause)
Tell us some more about yourself please Sam.

It is splendid to have you here all the way from the U.K. Sam. Let's see how well you fare at this board game! You'll get to go to the board first in a moment. The first word is worth $100, and each subsequent word is worth $50 more. The first player to score $500 or more in word money wins one game, and the first player to win two games takes the match, and will play our Bonus Sprint which today is worth $10,000 at the moment, and if you win that, you get to play the Jackpot Tiles game for a chance at up to $50,000 more! (NBC Whoas)....  Building off of the letter "T", nine letters in this word and the clue is... (outline sound effect)  A creation that has more feet than either you or I have. Sam, if you know the word, or think you do, you can solve it now. If not, I will ask that you select two of the eleven numbered tiles that are between you and Steve. The remaining letters in the word are controlled by those tiles. Three letters that do not belong in the word are also in the mix. Those are stoppers. If you play a stopper, you lose your turn. Alright Sam, what do you want to do? |

 Five... (ding)  A "D" And tile two is... (ding)  An "I". Interesting, from the UK and "DI" comes up, can't help but be reminded of Lady Diana, may she rest in peace... Okay Sam, which one, D or I do you want to try? |

Actually you would have to try to place the Y first Sam, or solve the word. Either option is available to you at the moment, but not selecting another tile just yet.

Let's see what happens...  (Scrabbling sound)  (bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong) That landed on a blue bonus square. If you can solve this word right now Sam, you'll score $100 and get to pick a bonus envelope.  |

Oh, that's too bad! But I understand why, and I'll explain as soon as this word is solved. Tile 7  (ding) An R, and tile 9...  A P. Which one do you want to try to place first this time around Sam? |

Well let's see. R...  (Scrabbling sound)  (ding) Nope, not a stopper, that fell into place. What now Sam? You can either solve the word or you can try to place your other letter. |

I'll try and solve: Is it YARDSTICK?

That's it! (word win cue)  I know many of you were perhaps yelling at your screens when that Y fell in there, but remember in the UK they measure by meters and centimeters rather than by feet and yards. Three feet make up one yard and a common object used to measure things here in the States is a yardstick. Very well solved Sam, way to stay with it. You scored $100, on your way to trying to reach $500. Steve, since you are trailing, we will go to the board with you this time. This next word is worth $150...  Building on the letter "A" and the clue is... (outline noise even though the outline is already there ha ha) Wow, this clue is going to get us thrown off of the airwaves! The clue is...  Some married couples have been known to do it on the piano. (Laughing and a couple of wolf whistles from the audience).... (Chuckling) Steve, do you have ANY idea what this could be? And remember to keep the answer clean! (Laughing again)... Or do you need a couple of tiles? |
