On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 25; Big Money Week)

[gameshowfan1986]

Roll Again

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, next roll coming up.

(Antonio rolls)

(audience groans)
(buzz)

Oh -- terrible twos. Sorry -- but you don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Trade places, please, players. Matt, you're back in. You'll take over the remaining two rolls of the round.

First, you may take a free letter.

[mringgenberg]

Five on the bottom.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

And we see a C there. Matt, we've got two thirds of that word. Do you have a guess of that bottom clue -- or would you like to roll the bones?

[mringgenberg]

SPEECH

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's it. SPEECH.

Well, Matt, I don't know how helpful that word is -- but with that clue revealed in full, you have a chance to solve the puzzle.

A right solution means you play for well over $300,000 in cash between Big 6 and Lucky 7. A wrong guess -- and you're still rolling the dice.

[mringgenberg]

No guess.

[dougmorrisontheair]

No guess from the challenger. Every roll outside of doubles can still be played. So, Matt, just avoid the doubles.

(Matt rolls)

(audience groans)
(buzz)

What part of "avoid the doubles" did you not understand? (scattered laughter from the crowd) In any event, you don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Please trade places again, rollers. Antonio, you're back in charge. We'll talk about the one remaining roll in the round.

But first, you may take a free letter.

[gameshowfan1986]

6 (Middle)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

You get an N.

Antonio, you may guess the middle row's clue -- or take the last roll of this round.

[gameshowfan1986]

Last Roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right, Antonio. Just don't roll doubles and you'll finish the round.

(Antonio rolls)

(louder groans)

(buzz)

What part of "don't roll doubles" did *you* not understand? (scattered laughter from the crowd) You don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Antonio, please head back to your buzzer. Matt, no need to step into the box since we're out of rolls.

You're still entitled to a free letter.

[mringgenberg]

Seven in the middle.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

And we have a C.

Matt, you may guess the middle row's clue -- or bypass a guess and start another name game with Antonio.

[mringgenberg]

Another Name Game

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay. We'll leave the board as it is.

Everyone's ready on the buzzers. So here's the next name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

Eight-letter answer -- and just a one-word last name. Here's the question.

Who's been been on a roll -- ever since she sang about a genie in a bottle?

(ding)

[Players, please PM dougmorrisontheair your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.]

(Matt buzzes in)

Matt?

Matt: Aguilera

(dings; audience applause)

Christina Aguilera. That's her.

All right, Matt. Korrina's handing you your dice. As long as you avoid you know what, you -- are on a roll.

(Matt rolls)

(louder groans from the crowd)

(buzz)

Can we get new dice, please? (scattered laughter from the crowd) Next game? Nah, we need 'em right now.

Let's not do the Brucie bit. Just trade places, please, players. Antonio, you know the drill. Please pick a free letter.

[gameshowfan1986]

1 (Middle)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

And you get an A for that effort. Antonio, you may guess the middle row's clue or roll again.

[gameshowfan1986]

ABE LINCOLN

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

That's right, Antonio.

Well, you have two clues now and a chance to solve the puzzle.

Just in case you're wrong or want to bypass a guess, you're still rolling. All rolls outside of doubles are still good.

So -- how do you play it?

[gameshowfan1986]

Gettysburg Address

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

For the game, is it -- Gettysburg Address.

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

That's right.

In that speech, Abe Lincoln said, "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here." Boy was *he* wrong.

Just for funsies, anyone want to guess the top word?

[mringgenberg]

PENNSYLVANIA

[dougmorrisontheair]

Gotta be. Let's see it, please.

(FF reveal sfx)

That's right -- the state in which Abe Lincoln delivered The Gettysburg Address.

(Korrina placed dice near Matt's buzzer)

Matt, after all those doubles, I wish I could give you a prize for that. Unfortunately, I can't. But you do get to enjoy a nice walk with Korrina. We'll see you later for Game 2.

(audience applauds as Matt and Korrina walk, arm in arm, stage right)

Antonio, you know the drill here. It's money roll time. That means this roll is worth $5000 a point in total. Doubles *are* allowed on this roll -- which determines the maximum payoff in Big 6. We saw boxcars earlier. We'd love to see boxcars now for top dollar of $60,000. Good luck -- and give 'em a roll.

(Antonio rolls)

Oh, sure, roll a non-double here. (scattered laughter from the crowd) But a roll of 8 makes for a $40,000 Big 6 game -- with the not-a-bachelor-for-much-longer Wally -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

(theme plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll's Big Money Week. Antonio's up one game in the match -- and now gets to play for some moolah with the help of -- Wally!

(audience cheers)

Wally, what's on your mind this Friday?

(audience laughs; smattering of applause)

*Easy*, big fella. The wedding bells will toll later. For now, Wally, may we have the numbers for Big 6, please.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Antonio, as you know, the dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out your Big 6 word. Much like the main game, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the word as you possibly can.

Wally, a hint, please.

(ding)

Person. To clarify, this is *not* a proper noun.

Now, much like the main games, you get four rolls of the dice. What's different here is if you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled -- and you can never play the sum.

Solve the Big 6 word correctly after just one roll, you win $40,000. But if you need a second roll, the value of the Big 6 word drops to $5000 -- and for each roll thereafter, we cut the potential winnings in half. While you're on a roll in Big 6, anytime you throw doubles or two different numbers you've already played, that counts as a wasted roll and reduces your potential winnings accordingly.

(Korrina hands Antonio dice)

Korrina's given you the dice, I've given you the rules -- and you -- are on a roll.

(Antonio rolls)

Starting off with a 5 and a 6.

Antonio, would you like the fifth or sixth letter?

[gameshowfan1986]

Fifth

[dougmorrisontheair]

Fifth letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's an I. Antonio, one time only for $40,000, who is this person?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

[gameshowfan1986]

No Guess! I need another letter...
