 An F question coming up. Matt is trying to anchor up top while Raymond is trying to block. What "F" was an Abe Vigoda role, and is what the astrological sign Pisces is represented by? (buzz in)  It is Raymond first to the buzzer. |

 An S question coming up. Raymond trying to get a left anchor established, Matt, trying to block and if so, will create a top anchor for himself. What "S" is a set of rules usually given at the beginning of a college class? (buzz in)  Matt, your answer please. |

(ooohs from the audience) Actually the word we wanted was Syllabus. Onto another S question... What "S" describes a party thrown for a bride or a mother to be, and is also one way to describe light rainfall? (buzz in)  Raymond is in first, your answer please. |

I had a hunch that was where you were going...  A C will get Raymond within one of winning the game and the match, so Matt, you want to try to block here if you can. What "C" was the last name of former Oakland Raiders tight end Dave, and is also the name of the animated friendly ghost? (buzz in)  Raymond? |

 This will be game, set and match for Raymond if he rings in first with a correct answer. Matt, the time is now if you can beat him to that button. H question... What "H" is the youngest of the fifty current United States? (buzz in)  Raymond, for all the marbles, your answer please... |

That's a winner!  That's a match win for you Raymond... Very well done indeed. The "H" block was the one that put you over.  What money card was back there this time?  Well five-hundred bucks anyway PLUS the $750 Bonus Jackpot brings your grand total now up to $3,800! (applause) In a moment or so Raymond will play the Blockbusters Bonanza for up to $20,000 more. Well Matt, Raymond was very quick on that button this game, but you still did manage to score twice up on the big board, $25 per, added to what you picked up in game number one, $175 in cash plus twelve-hundred dollars in parting gifts. Matt Ringgenberg everybody! (applause) (commercial music) We'll have Raymond play for the really big bucks in our new and exciting challenging game the Bonus Bonanza, right after a few words of interest! (applause) |

(APPLAUSE)  Okay, here we are! Back with our very first champion of this new series of "Blockbusters" episodes. Raymond, $3,800 you picked up already and all that is yours to keep, (chuckling), until you fill out your tax return that is... Now we're going to play the Bonus Bonanza Raymond where you could win as much as $20,000 or as little as nothing. Skill plus intuition come into play with this end game. The Bonus Bonanza is played in three parts. Part 1 is the question round. For winning the match, you have 2 picks of the board automatically. Hidden behind 18 of those 20 numbered blocks are cash awards ranging from as little as $250 all the way up to $1,500. One is a block which is worth $0, and one is an insurance card. If you uncover that, you will get to pick another number, and that insurance card could really come in handy later on should you discover it. I will ask you a series of 5 Blockbusters questions. The first three questions are worth 1 additional pick each, with the last 2 adding 2 more picks each to your total, so you could end up with as many as 9 picks total. Once we establish how many picks from the board you will have, we'll have you make those picks to determine a bank total. The last part of the game you will face a new board with 20 numbers and that will determine your final winning total. First things first, 2 picks for free, now onto the question round. You have 10 seconds (48 hours actually from the time I post the question) to come up with the right answer. I hope you can earn all 7 additional picks for a total of 9. Good luck Raymond.   "E" - Name of King Arthur's sword. |
