For those of you that know me, I've hosted this show before, so I see no need for a pilot.  For those that don't, I hope that you'll enjoy this! Two players, please! |

My name is Bill McDee, I am 47 years old, I reside in Pennsylvania but am originally from New Jersey. I have been married for over 23 years and have one son. I work as a data entry specialist for a pharmaceutical research company. In my spare time I enjoy bowling, writing, watching reruns of television game shows, especially from the 1970s & 80s, and I consider myself a novice historian of baseball, pro football and the Presidents of the United States. And I was potty trained on Concentration, quite literally, when it was on during the late 1960s. I had so many of the home editions of the game too, and whenever I was ill I'd keep my poor mother up half the night playing it! A tremendous pleasure to be here Sam And my apologies as I realize this was no doubt "T.M.I." on my part. |

Hey you say as much as you want, Bill, you're the contestant.  Obviously, you don't need to be told the rules of Concentration, but I'll remind everyone anyway: Here are 25 numbered squares. Your job is to pick two and try to match the prizes that are underneath. We'll have a lot of wonderful things for you to win, and when you make a match, they'll go behind you here up on your prize board. There are three special squares to help you. There are cards called TAKE! cards, a green TAKE! and a red TAKE!. Once obtained, you have the option to TAKE! one of your opponents' prizes. There are also three WILD! cards up there and those allow you to match any prize on the board. Those can be really helpful! When you match a prize, you then reveal pieces of a puzzle that literally add up to a well-known phrase, place, thing or even a person. The player that guesses the solution first keeps the prizes they earned in the match. You are allowed one loss during your stay here, so make it all count. The winner gets to go on to the Winner's Circle for a chance to win a new car! *cheers and applause* Things to look for in our first puzzle: A new set of living room furniture. A trip to Disneyland A year's supply of Doritos. The player who signed up first gets to go first since we have no champion. That's you, Matt. Make your pick. |

No match. Now, I have a suggestion, but you don't have to follow it: you don't have to call out two numbers immediately. You can call out one number and if it's a WILD! card, then you're not stuck with the number if it's not particularly strategic. In any case, it's Bill's turn now. Once he makes his choice or choices, I'll remove the two pictures above, so remember where you saw the prizes. That's why we call it Concentration. |
