The $40,000 Chain Reaction (USA; Episode 20)

[koopakid17]

Oh boy... left?

(cuckoo sfx)

Little birdie tells us your close but not close enough, Kevin. One chance to captialize on your guess of LEFT without penalty.

[koopakid17]

Lefty?

(buzz)

Sorry, can't take. Here comes the last spare letter. You probably know what's coming.









(ding)

The T. Kevin, I will clarify there's at least one more letter after L-E-F-T.

I'll also clarify you're still in contention for $40,000 -- but to get there, you'll have to give me four consecutive right answers. Good luck, think it over, let's take this one at a time -- and good luck solving that link starting L-E-F-T.

[koopakid17]

Lefthanded?

[dougmorrisontheair]

If it's LEFTHANDED, you're still in contention for $40,000.

(ahhs from the crowd; smattering of applause)

Noooo -- it's LEFT EYE. Going from DEBT to WINK earlier, both of those were nouns. But then, going from WINK to LEFT EYE, WINK becomes a verb -- because you can wink with your right eye or, in this case, the left eye.

Well, you only got four dollars out of the final chain. The good news is it's Friday -- and drinks at the corner bar are discounted. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Even better, you won a nice piece of change in the main game. Let's reveal the rest of the chain in full, please.









(ding)

The late Lisa Lopes was nicknamed Left Eye -- and she was a member of the R&B group TLC. An altogether different TLC is a cable or satellite network. And the classic film entitled "Network" was directed by Sidney Lumet.

We'll take a break, Kevin, crunch a few numbers -- and tell you what's ahead for you on The $40,000 Chain Reaction. Stay close, kids, we're getting close to the weekend and the dance party.

[dougmorrisontheair]

We have just enough time to congratulate Kevin Kolsen on winning one game and $5754. (audience applause) Kevin, on our next show, you'll be over here on the champion's side of the stage.

Remember, if you can win five straight games, including today's that you won earlier, you win an instant bonus of $40,000.

(audience cheers)

For all of us on the chain gang, Doug Morris saying -- make it a great day, a great weekend, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones.
