Good luck to both of you. During the commercial break, the accounting firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers have delivered our card dealer Jennifer Love Hewitt a deck of 52 super-sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. Jennifer will now break the seal and reveal one card face up and the other face down.  [AUDIENCE GROANS...]Not a good sign. Jennifer has a 1 or a possible 11. We'll reveal her face down card later. But first, take a look at our Gambit Board.  Behind each of the 21 doors, we have a dazzling array of cash, prizes and surprises. We have an instant win dollar sign, the Take 2 card, Stop or Go, two SWAP cards, four money cards, two special trips, a CAR... and that dreaded BUST space. You may freeze at any time if you feel like you're getting closer of going over 21. Jenn must hit an anything under 17 and stand on at least 17. If Bill gets a combination of at least three cards adding 21, he wins $100,000 while you, Doug, collects $25,000. If Bill gets a Blackjack-- Either an Ace and either a 10, face card or instant win, we'll pay him $1 million while the caller gets the $100,000 payoff. If Bill gets the dollar sign on his very first selection, we'll give him $10 million while you, Doug, gets a hefty load of cash... $1 million! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And for winning the game, we'll give Bill 3 Gambit Power Chips... one for each win... and a bonus chip for winning the 21 Bonus Pot. A total of 4 chips. Use them wisely in case you get a bad card.  Whenever you're ready, Bill, please select a number. |

Wow that Ace you have there Jennifer is a might bit intimidating.
For no particular reason, let's go for the center of the old board, number 11 Tony please.

If there's a dollar sign, you win $10 million while Doug wins $1 million. Let's see what's in dead center 11...  [DING]No... it's a SWAP card. Although you don't have a prize yet, the night is still young at this event. Right now, let's see what Jennifer have in store for you. Jennifer, please reveal their first card.  Jennifer: it's a 4. [AUDIENCE BOOING...] Tony: Not a good card. Bill or Doug... do you want to keep the 4 or use one your four power chips? |

((CLUTCHING MY CHEST))
All I saw was red, I thought for sure it was a bust!
Doug, I'm inclined to say let's chip that 4 away, what do you think?

Producer Rick: (VO) Actually, Tony, they get to pick another number before they get the card.

Post by tmann3x on Sept 25, 2014 17:15:31 GMT -5
Oh... you're right, Rick. Sorry. Bill... our producer Rick Rosner is right. Since you've selected the SWAP card, you have the right to select another number. The 4 is now discarded and out of play. Please pick another number, Bill.

|
|
Post by billmcdee on Sept 26, 2014 2:07:04 GMT -5
The 3 is discarded? Or the 4? Well in any event, since 3 and 4 total 7, let's go with number 7 and hope it's a lucky one  |

My mistake on the card. Too many hard lemonades. Anyways... let's see what's in number 7.  [DING]It's a home gym. For more details, here Jim Thornton with the description of this prize.  Jim Thornton: From Exercise Unlimited, this home gym has everything you need to stay fit and trim. Includes a bench press, an arm rower and a complete set of weights, all in one package. $2,575.[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]This prize could be yours, Doug. However, the $2,575 is the equivalent of cash for Bill's charity. Right now, let's hope the first card is an Ace, 10 or face card. Jennifer, please reveal their first card.  Jennifer: It's a 10. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Do you guys want the 10? |

Post by tmann3x on Sept 27, 2014 12:58:36 GMT -5
Let's see what's inside number 1...  [DING]It's the TAKE 2 card! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]With the TAKE 2 card. Either one you gets to select two additional numbers. Be extremely careful of selecting the BUST card. So Bill and Doug... please pick two numbers. |

Nice work there Doug!

Post by tmann3x on Sept 27, 2014 21:58:08 GMT -5
Numbers 19 and 20. First, let's check out number 20 and see what's in there.  [DING]It's a $5,000 money card! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]We'll get to see the next card later. But first... we all want to know if there's an instant win dollar sign for Bill's $1 million and Doug's $100,000. The tens of thousands of attendees here at the MGM Grand, the millions watching at home and on CBS.com... for the big money, is there a dollar sign inside #19...?  Instant Blackjack!!!!! [BELL CLANGING, SIREN WAILS, WIN CUE, WILD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Guys... congratulations on that instant Blackjack win! And especially Doug for winning over $100,000 in cash and a prize. How do you feel after your partner's first pick in Take 2? |

Would you believe right before the show I visited a very special lady, one who is my wife's foster Grandmother, and she was born in 1920, so how appropriate those 2 numbers would prove a winning combo!!!

Don't celebrate just yet, guys. You still have a SWAP card. Do any of you guys want to trade either a home gym or the $5,000 money card? If there's a BUST sign, it's out of play so there's no loss. The choice is yours, Bill and Doug.

No problem. Before we total up the scores, let's see what was Jennifer's face down card.  It was a 5... a total of a possible 16. Now, let's take a look at the rest of the board.  The BUST space was in number 9, the CAR was in number 2, Stop or Go was in 4, and the green SWAP card was in number 12. The other money cards were in numbers 13, 15, and 21. Doug Morris... congratulations on winning a total of $107,575 in cash and a prize. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Don't hang up the phone yet, because our director Chris Darley will be on the line and he'll give you the all important instructions. Thanks again for playing Celebrity Gambit with us, Doug. |
