Evan: Time measurement

Doug: (looks at card; reaches for phone) Let me check with the judge on this. I think you got this.

(on phone; judge says Evan's right)

Doug: Sounds fair. Thank you. (hangs up phone) Answer I had on my card was "timepieces" -- but, Evan, to your point, timepieces certainly measure time. So -- you're now tied for the lead.

Evan?

[Twentington]

Los Angeles City Hall?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Hold that thought. (Doug on phone with judge again) What say ye? (judge responds) Sounds fair -- thanks. (hangs up) Evan, you gave us more than what we were looking for.




[____ERIC_____] [___GARCETTI__] [______IS_____]

[____THIS_____] [____CITY'S___] [____MAYOR____]



The whole fame game reads, "Eric Garcetti is this city's mayor." You started your answer with "Los Angeles..." -- and we'll give it to you.

(audience cheers)

So, Evan, last pick of the fame game is yours. Six numbers remain. Fifty-fifty chance you'll add at least $10 to your score. But you'd love $25. Where is it?

[Twentington]

I think I'll try lucky 7.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Burton: And behind number seven we find...

(fanfare) (audience cheers)

Burton: ...twenty-five dollars!!!

(director cuts back and forth between Evan and the $25 card several times)

Great news, Evan. You found the big one. Stacey, please tell us where the others were.

Stacey: Number 3 had the $10 and...

Stacey: ...number 8 had the $15.

(fanfare)

Thank you, Stacey. But as we put another $25 in Evan's coffers...

(time's up)

That's the game and what a come-from-behind win -- for Evan!

[WIN CUE]

(cheers and applause)

[BGM MUSIC]

Back to the lone question we missed, starting with "W", a narrow, two-man crosscut saw is called -- a whipsaw.

Well, due to various irregularities that cropped up in game play, Kevin and Steven, we'll see you back here on the next show -- and Greg will be back here as well.

Evan, how do you feel after that victory?

[Twentington]

I didn't think I had a snowman's chance in hell... I'm still kind of shocked!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Once you got that 25er, you managed to turn on the afterburners.

Kevin, even though you're coming back on the next show, do you wish you bought something along the way?

[koopakid17]

The Thailand trip, I can't believe I passed the sale surprise.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, even though you missed out on that and other great merchandise, there is good news, Kevin. You did pick up a nice piece of change from the Fame Game earlier. With the cash in front of you -- a total of $4085.

(audience cheers)

Steven, just the cash in front of you -- but also a return trip when Greg returns. Looking forward to that?

[asja2002]

Yes I am, Evan is a tough player. Always has been. Go ahead and take out the Jackpot buddy!

[dougmorrisontheair]


$130  Twentington
$ 85  koopakid17
$ 65  asja2002



All right, Kevin, Steven, as you look forward to rejoining Greg, let's all wish good luck to Evan -- as he goes shopping. Join me center stage, please.

(cheers and applause)
(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(Evan makes his way to the doors as they open and we enter the showroom)

All right -- some might spiffy items here in the showroom. Stacey's waiting for us at the winner's board.

And here it is -- and here's how you play the winner's board. Evan, instead of passing up a prize to come back, as long as you keep winning matches, you keep winning prizes.  Every night, the winner of the match is assured of winning a big, big prize.

Now we have 15 spaces up there. We have five sets of matching prizes. One of them -- is this...

(prize music plays)

Burton: (VO) Take to the water in your own hot tub tugboat! This wood-burning hot tub is made in the Netherlands and takes on the form of a tugboat. Worthy of a leisurely cruise on the Amstel, the craft is built in Rotterdam with a wood and fiberglass-reinforced polyester hull and powered by a 3.2-hp electric motor that provides a cruising speed of 3 miles per hour on calm rivers, lakes, or ponds. The tug accommodates up to six adult bathers in 475 gallons of water heated by an integrated wood stove that heats the water to 100° F in 2 and a half hours. Two ice chests built into the craft provide ample storage for drinks while four bollards secure the tug to a waterside watering hole for taking on supplies. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. And this prize is valued at...

(cheers and applause)

Thank you, Burton. Now, Evan, even better news. Your winning score was in three figures. So with some lucky picks, you could win these.


[WHERE'S THE WALRUS V2]

Burton: (VO) With a captivating mix of progressive technology, race-inspired performance and seductive styling, this pair of Alfa Romeo 4C Coupes thrills Alfa Romeo devotees, performance enthusiasts and car connoisseurs alike. Their carbon fiber monocoque chassis and other advanced lightweight technologies help put 4C performance into supercar territory. They come loaded with some of the most popular packages and options. This is supreme performance that can be experienced first-hand instead of admired from afar. And befitting a champion and cars of this calibur, a pair of diamond-studded platinum keychains worth a total of $5,000 from Germani Jewelers. Altogether, this prize package is worth....

Burton: (VO) It's not a car, it's an Alfa Romeo.


(audience cheers)

Thank you, again, Burton. Evan. we have two cards that say "WIN!". Whatever you pick after that is an automatic match. If you match those two "WIN!"s, you get a $10,000 cash bonus -- (audience cheers) -- and you get to pick again. Now, we also have a card that says "THE!", and another that says "LOT!"

Should you can find "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in *that* exact order, you will win the lot, which includes everything here in the showroom -- which includes the cars, your Personal Cash Jackpot, and this!


(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


Burton: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!

(cheers and applause)

One more thing. To win the cars, you must find the "WIN!" first, then the "ALFA ROMEO" symbol. Again, to win the lot, you must find "WIN!", "THE!" and "LOT!" in that exact order.

Good luck to you. Start with your first number.

[Twentington]

Since it was so good to me on the Fame Game board, lucky 7 again, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

You're speaking my language. Lucky 7 gives us...

(ding)

...the tantalum pen. Great prize worth more than $5000.

[Twentington]

For no particular reason, 4, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Number 4 -- *four* the heck of it.

(bells) (scattered cheers)

Four -- because you want to win the lot. *That's* why, Evan.

Remember, find the Alfa Romeo symbol on this next pick, game ends and you win the cars. Find the other "win" card, you'll pocket $10,000 and keep picking. But you *really* want to find "the" -- in your quest to win the lot.

Think this over -- and pick your next number.

[Twentington]

Gah... again for no particular reason, 11.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, if there's a "the" or another "win", you're still in business. Otherwise, you instantly win what's behind number 11.

(fanfare) (audience cheers)

Got a trip out of this. And this is a fantastic holiday. Burton, please tell us more.

(prize music plays) (The models dance around in European garb)

Burton: (VO) Take in the world on your European holiday! We'll fly you and a guest Business Class from Los Angeles to the birthplace of the Olympic Games... Athens, Greece. There, you'll spend five nights in a luxury hotel. Then, it's on to Rome, Italy for another five exciting nights. After that, you'll spend five nights in London, and finally, five nights in Paris! Luxury all the way! Plus, we're including rental cars and $10,000 in spending money. Furnished by United Vacations. This trip of a lifetime is worth.....

(audience cheers)

Fantastic trip. You'll enjoy it. But -- to enjoy everything, what did he need Stacey?

Stacey: The other "win" was behind 9, "the" behind 10, "lot" behind 13 -- and the Alfa Romeo was behind 14.

Doug: All right. Evan, to have a chance at the lot, you'll have to win the rematch against Steven and Kevin. Win against them -- and you could win more cash. Right now, let's give you a chance to add to your Personal Cash Jackpot.

I ask you 10 questions, you have three seconds to answer each one. Each right answer moves you up our money ladder. Get one wrong or pass, it's back to $0. After ten questions, whatever level you're at is the amount we add to the pot.

Ready to play?

[Twentington]

As ready as I'll ever be, Doug.
