1980 is correct. [DING, APPLAUSE] And since John decided to freeze on his 13, you must get at least a 14 to win the first game of the match. Jennifer, please reveal Bill's next card.  Jennifer: Bill's next card is a 9. [AUDIENCE GASPS...] Tony: That gives Bill a total of 11. If Bill gets at least a 3, he wins... but if his next card is either a 10 or face card, he wins the $5,000 21 Bonus. Now Bill... since John have frozen his 13, you must beat him. You must answer each and every question right in order to stay in this round. If your answer is wrong, John wins $500 and the first game of the match. Here comes your next question... Alex Karras, Marshall Faulk, or Sid Luckman-- Which of the following played quarterback for Columbia? |

Unless I'm sadly mistaken, it was Sid Luckman. Faulk was a running back and Karras was a defensive player.

Bill... have you ever thought about working as a sports commentator for the NFL on CBS? [AUDIENCE LAUGHS...]Anyways, Sid Luckman is correct. [DING, APPLAUSE] Bill... if your next card is at least a 3, you win the first game of the match and $500. But if you get either a 10 or face card, you'll win the 21 Bonus pot of $5,000. Jennifer... please reveal Bill's next card. *Jennifer reveals card*  Jennifer: Bill's next card is a King!!!!! Tony: 21! Bill McDee wins $5,000!!!!!! [BELL CLANGING, SIREN WAILS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Bill... congrats on hitting a 21! $5,300 goes to your charities... Autism Speaks and the American Cancer Society. If you win two more rounds, you'll be playing Beat The Dealer for $10 million while our play at home viewer will be playing along with you for $1 million. [LAS VEGAS GAMBIT THEME PLAYS...]Coming up after the break, we'll be playing round 2 and see if John can tie this game up. Prizes and surprises are just around the corner when Celebrity Gambit continues... right after this live on CBS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* |

============================================================================================ *back to stage* [MAIN THEME PROLOGUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Welcome back to Celebrity Gambit live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. At the end of the first round, Bill McDee have won the game and a total of $5,300... not to mention getting the 21 bonus poot. John Bergman, meanwhile, has a total of just 200. The game isn't over yet for you... there's still plenty of time for you to catch things up. Let's take a look at our big money board on my podium  [DING]Although the 21 bonus pot remains at $5,000 in cash, we've decided to add $5,000 in the Blackjack Bonus. That's right... if you get a blackjack, we'll throw in $30,000 to your charity. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Let's go over to Jennifer as she reveals the first card in round 2. Jenn...?  Jennifer: Wouldn't you know it... we have a Jack to begin round 2. [AUDIENCE GASPS...] Tony: An awesome start for our second round. Again... each correct answer is $100 and the player closer to 21 earns an additional 500. Here comes the first question... Commodores, Bee Gees, or Chic-- Stayin' Alive, one of the most popular songs of 1978, was played by which band? |

Post by tmann3x on Sept 12, 2014 22:46:46 GMT -5
Correct. [DING, APPLAUSE]And without hesitation, John is keeping the Jack.  If you answer the next question right and your next card is an Ace, you'll tie up the match and win the $30,000 Blackjack Bonus. Next question... Buy it with your credit card, get a bank loan for it, or wait until you've earned enough extra cash-- If you'd like to buy something you don't need but don't have enough money, what should you do? |

I know our government would perhaps disagree with me, but I would say wait until you have earned enough money to make the purchase.

You know what, Greg... you're right. Is it OK if we go to a new question, Bill and John?

Yes.

Photographs, and since John has a big old Jack over there looming large, and if my answer is correct, I'd like to keep the next card please Tony.

You're right... [DING, APPLAUSE]And since you're keeping the card, let's see what Jennifer has in store for you. Jennifer... please reveal Bill's first card.  Jennifer: Bill's first card is a 7.  The Blackjack Bonus is out of play for Bill... at least he'll be going for the 21 Bonus pot one more time. Next question... Theodore Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, or Grover Cleveland-- Who was the only president to survive an assassination attempt after having served in office? |

That would have been Theodore Roosevelt who was shot after having left the presidency.
If I am correct, I would like to take the next card please Tony & Jennifer.

Teddy Roosevelt is correct. [DING, APPLAUSE]And since you're keeping the card, Jennifer is gonna reveal your next card and let's all hope for a 3 or 4. Jenn...?  Jennifer: Bill's next card is a deuce.  Tony: Another deuce will give Bill an advantage. Next question... 1, 57, or 571-- When Mt. St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, how many people were killed? |

If John does not respond within the next 10 hours, Bill gets 100 and control of the cards by default.

24 HOUR WARNING!
If John does not respond within 2 hours, Bill gets control of the card.

Post by tmann3x on Sept 15, 2014 22:53:51 GMT -5
[TIME UP BUZZER]Time! The correct answer was 57. So that means Bill gets $100 more.  [DING]Bill... do you want to keep or pass the card to John?

Since we are playing for charity, and since I can understand and respect John's explanation, and since I already lead 1 game to 0 in the match, and since I believe John would have answered correctly, I'm going to defer the next card to my worthy opponent. I'll pass.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDS...]That was sweet and respectful of what you've done, Bill. If John's next card is an Ace, he'll win the $30,000 Blackjack Bonus. Jennifer, please reveal John's next card. *Jennifer reveals card*  Jennifer: John's next card is a Queen.  John cannot freeze his 20 because he didn't win the question. He must answer the question correctly in order to achieve the freeze effect. Next question... Christina Aguilera, Uma Thurman, or Danica McKellar-- Who is Travolta’s dance partner in one memorable scene in the film "Pulp Fiction"?

I believe that would be Uma Thurman, Tony.
If I am correct, I regret John that I have no choice but to pass the card to you. |

Post by tmann3x on Sept 16, 2014 14:05:07 GMT -5
Correct. [DING, APPLAUSE] And since Bill have decided to pass, it's $5,000 or bust for John. If he wants to win this round, his next card must be an Ace. Let's all root for Mr. Bergman. Jennifer... please reveal John's final card. Jennifer: I wish John the very best to win that money. John... your next card is-- *slowly reveals card*  --a 4. [BUZZER]Tony: John is busted... so that means Bill wins $500 and the second round! [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] After two rounds, Bill have won two games and a cash total of $6,200 for his charities... while John haven't scored a game, but with a total of $300 for his charity. Time for us to pause for a commercial because it's halftime. Still to come, the winner will be playing Beat The Dealer for $10 million while a home viewer will be playing along with the champ and play for $1 million. But coming up next, we'll have a special musical performance from Taylor Swift that YOU do not want to miss. We'll be right back with more of Celebrity Gambit... in just a moment on CBS... LIVE!
