Raymond, you have successfully blocked Matt! Well done! (dong)  Talk about the last straw! Raymond's hanging tough. Very good first game so far. (commercial outro music) Raymond will think about where to plot his next block, and while he's doing that, we'll take time out for these messages of interest for you America! (applause)  |

 (applause) And rightfully so might I add, that applause. Two very evenly matched players here in the middle of game 1 of this match. Raymond avoided defeat in the nick of time with his last answer and controls the board again, trying to connect top to bottom Raymond, which letter looks good to you? |

O question coming...  What "O" is the name of a former Turkish empire, and is also the name of an upholstered footstool? (buzzer)  Raymond is first again. Your answer please. |

Is right! (applause) (dong)  Once again Raymond is on offense and Matt now finds himself on defense.  Each player with 5 blocks, superb opening game gentlemen! Raymond, you control the board, look it over, trying to connect top to bottom in red, which letter please? |

D to anchor at the top. Matt's wanting to block... What "D" was the last name of the naturalist who published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859? (buzzer)  Raymond, you're first again. Your answer please. |

 And this next correct answer will win it for either player, Raymond top to bottom, Matt side to side. Great game coming down to the wire and this question. What "J" is the derived from the French word for yellow which describes a skin condition? (buzzer)  Raymond for the win! |

Is right for the win!   $550 money card behind that winning letter for you Raymond. Matt, unfortunately the $500 Jackpot was lost to you, but we'll still pay you $25 per block.  And it's just one loss so far too Matt, takes two games to win a match. Right now Raymond, you will get to play a mini bonus game, Gold Rush, for a chance to win several thousand dollars more.  16 numbered blocks, hidden behind 2 each are money cards worth $100, $150, $200, $250 and $300. One number has $0. Five of the numbers conceal strikes. 3 strikes and the game ends, but if you can accumulate $1,000 or more before you uncover a third strike, you will win anywhere from 2 to 5 times the final pot. Raymond, what number looks good to start with? |

Number 5...  That is a "block" which represents $0. It's not a strike, simply not worth anything unfortunately. Which number next? |

I erred, you might win more depending on the multiplier you select at the end of the game. Number 2, little deuce...  Another $150, now up to $500, half way to the goal. Where to now? |
