I want to say a very special thanks to Bill McDee for filling in for me while I was hosting a special celebrity edition. Now that I'm back here at the studio, let's get down to business.
Our champion Greg Palmer is back after his second win. So far, he have won a total of $258,324 in cash and prizes. Right now, I'm looking for one BINGEL since he had already called dibs as a challenger. If you're available, please let me know and be on standby.

Well, Jennifer said most of it. I am a die-hard Muppets fan from Baltimore, Maryland. (some folks cheer. Muppets fans and Baltimorians alike)
For those who don't know, my favorite is Miss Piggy. (some folks cheer)
Also, I love computers and acting.
Also, I do want to mention that I am the proud owner of this baby.

Well, I've won a boatload of money on this show, I'm still unemployed and from Durham, NC. There, you can watch me on WRAL-TV Channel 5. Jennifer, I saw you on Celebrity Gambit. You were being chased around by that crazy host--- whose name I cannot remember right now.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS...]We'll just have to look that up. But first, we'll pause for two minutes. Coming up after the break, we'll begin the first round of our game and find out how much money we're adding in the 21 Bonus pot and the Blackjack Bonus. We'll begin round 1 of Gambit right after this. Stick around, folks... *fade to commercial*

*back to studio*  Welcome back to Gambit. Now that both Greg and Matt are all set, please allow me to explain the rules... The object of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over. I'll be giving you multiple choice questions. If you buzz in and answer the question correctly, you'll score $100 and the option of either keeping the card or passing it to your opponent. If at any event if you're on the verge of a bust, you have the right to freeze. Whoever's closer to 21 (whether your opponent is either busted or you have a higher total), earns an additional $500. And whoever wins the best 2 out of 3 rounds will be playing the Beat The Dealer bonus round for up to $1 million. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Let's take a look at the big money board underneath my podium.  [DING]If you get a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21, you'll win the bonus pot worth $7,500. But if you get a Blackjack, an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you'll win the Blackjack Bonus worth $25,000! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]During the commercial break, the guys at Tandem Technologies, a RANDOM.ORG company, have delivered Jennifer a deck of 54 ultra sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. Right now, she's gonna break the seal and show everyone the first card as we begin round 1. Jennifer...?  Jennifer: Our first card is an 8.  Tony: Whoever answers this first question earns 100 and an option. Good luck to both of you... here's this question. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, or The Seven-year Itch-- In what Marilyn Monroe motion picture does she play 'The Girl,' a commercial spokesperson who keeps her underwear in the icebox and keeps Richard Sherman hot and bothered?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

The Seven Year Itch.
(if right, pass the card)

Post by tmann3x on Oct 6, 2014 16:59:14 GMT -5
The Seven-year Itch is correct. [DING, APPLAUSE] And without any delay, Matt is passing the 8 to Greg. Next question... Family Circle, Sports Illustrated, or Vanity Fair-- Which of these Magazines had the largest circulation in the year 1999? |

It was FAMILY CIRCLE. Matt scores another hundred. [DING] Matt... since you've won the question by default, do you want to keep the card or pass it to Greg? |
|

Post by mrb2000 on Oct 7, 2014 14:01:51 GMT -5
Keep it.

Jennifer... please reveal Matt's first card.  Jennifer: Matt's first card is a 2. [AUDIENCE GROANS...] The Blackjack Bonus is now out of play... but will make its return in round 2 later on. Right now, let's move on to our next question. Alee, port, or starboard-- What is the word for the crossword clue "to the sheltered side"? |

Right! [APPLAUSE, DING] Matt... you have a 2 while Greg has an 8. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Greg? |

Jennifer... please reveal Matt's next card.  Jennifer: It's an Ace.  That gives you a possible 13. Before I read the next question, you have a decision to make. Do you want to continue playing this round or freeze? |
|
|

Post by tmann3x on Oct 14, 2014 19:53:43 GMT -5
Since Matt have missed the decision deadline, we'll move on to the next question.
Atlantic Coast Conference, Big East Conference, or Big Ten Conference-- In what conference does Georgia Tech play football?

[TIME UP BUZZER] Matt have missed the 24 hour deadline. Strike one for him. Miss two more and a new player will replace him. Greg... do you have an answer? You may pass the question if you want.
