On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Episode 26)

[gameshowfan1986]

U

[dougmorrisontheair]

Going with the U. Wally, please show us what's hiding there.

(dings; audience cheers)

The trip. Great vacation to Dubai with $10,000 in cash to spend.

(alarm goes off)

There's the signal Wally's setting the shutdown timer. The vacation package, with the cash, is worth about $28,000 in total. That means you'll have as many as...

(ding)

...five rolls to win.

Now, for each time you don't roll a 7 in total, you win the sum in hundreds of dollars. Doubles are worse that before -- meaning you don't win anything *and* also meaning an automatic shutdown.

How are you feeling with a maximum of five tries at Dubai? Confident, I hope?

[gameshowfan1986]

I feel good...

[dougmorrisontheair]

If you feel good, let's get -- on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Antonio rolls)

Starting off with a total roll of 5.

(ding)

Good for $500 with four rolls to go.


(Antonio rolls)

(scattered groans)

Close -- 6.

(ding)

You're up to $1100. Maybe the next roll's a 7.


(Antonio rolls)

(more scattered groans)

Ugh! Close but no vacay.

(ding)

$1700. Come onnnnnn - 7!

(Antonio rolls)

Just a 3.

(ding)

Well -- $2000 with one roll to go. This last roll's gonna be a winner -- right?

[gameshowfan1986]

I hope I do win..

[dougmorrisontheair]

So do we. Last roll. Make it count.

(audience cheers)








































(Antonio rolls)

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

Arrrrgh. Doubles. Well -- if it's going to happen, best for it to happen with one roll left on the timer beforehand.

You did win $2000 here and $2500 in Big 6. We add it all to your prior winnings. You're going into your fourth match with an all cash total of...

(FF reveal sfx)

...$109,200.

(audience cheers)

Now, before start a new match, more new rules go into effect. The winner of one game in a match plays for up to $60,000 in cash in Big 6 and up to $100,000 in Lucky 7.

(scattered groans)

Hey, that's what we said, too, after network brass asked, "Do you think we're made of money?"

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

But win a player clinches the match and wins two games, that's when the potential stakes go up to $120,000 in Big 6 and $250,000 in Lucky 7.

(audience cheers)

We'll be back to start a new match -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

We now seek a new challenger in On A Roll. "New" being the key word. Anyone who has not lost to Antonio Gray in his current championship reign is eligible to play.

You in?

[grapebuy789]

I'll play Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll. If you're just now tuning in expecting to see the bonus games, Antonio here clinched his third match win lickety split. So he's already played his bonus games, won about $4000 in the process -- and is ready to play against his next challenger.

Another note for those tuning in, this is a borderline crossover episode. Our guest models today work on another show I host. One of Crag's dice girls, Devon, is now by the game board.

Shelly joins us here at the dice table. And also joining us at the dice table is our new challenger, Frank Sartori.

(audience cheers)

Frank, welcome. Please tell us about yourself.

[grapebuy789]

Helloooooooooooooooo Doug! I am 22 years old (soon to be 23 in November) from the great state of Massachusetts. I am a full-time college student studying early childhood education and I work as a babysitter. In my spare time, I can be found retro video game shopping, hanging out with friends, and hosting net game versions of some of my favorite game shows.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, Happy Early Birthday. Perhaps you can take home fine gifts. Gotta win at least one game against our three-time champion.

Good luck to you both as a new match starts with this name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And a big one to start -- eleven letter answer to this question.

Who's been on a roll -- ever since she released "Unwritten", her debut album?

(ding)

[Antonio and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.]

(Frank buzzes in)

Frank?

Frank: Bedingfield

(dings; audience applause)

That's her -- Natasha Bedingfield.

Frank, please step into the box. Shelly will give you the dice in a moment. But first, we need to load a new game board.

(FF reveal sfx; Devon poses by numbered and blocked spaces)

And we have two-word clues all over the board. Frank, as you know, you looking to roll numbers and sums to uncover the letters that spell out those clues. Clues lead to the identity of a person, place or thing.

(Shelly hands Frank dice)

Thanks, Shelly. As long as you avoid doubles, Frank, you -- are on a roll.

(Frank rolls)

And the first roll is a 5 and a 1.

That means you may take any 1 and 5 off the board -- or play the sum and take a 6.

[grapebuy789]

Let's try the 1 and 5 on the bottom row.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Devon touches screen)

The 1 hides a B...

(Devon touches screen)

...and the 5 hides a P.

Frank, you may guess the bottom clue or roll again.

A reminder if you're ever wrong on a clue or the overall puzzle solution, you're still on a roll.

[grapebuy789]

Still early to guess. I'm going to roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right. Second roll coming up.

(Frank rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

Ohhhh -- doubles. Sorry, Frank, you don't get anything for a pair.

Audience: Not in this game.

Players, please trade places. Antonio, you'll have control of the remaining two rolls shortly.

But first -- please take one free letter.

[gameshowfan1986]

4 (Middle)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Devon touches screen)

The 4 in the middle has an N. Antonio, you may guess the middle clue or roll again.

[gameshowfan1986]

Roll Again

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rolling again for the show. First roll in the match for you.

(Antonio rolls)

And it's a good one -- a 1 and a 6...

...or a 7.

[gameshowfan1986]

1 & 6 (Middle)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Devon touches screen)

You get an H...

(Devon touches screen)

...and an S. You may guess the middle clue, Antonio, or take the final roll of the round.

[gameshowfan1986]

Roll Again

[dougmorrisontheair]

All right. Last roll. Frank's hoping you throw doubles.

(Antonio rolls)

But you don't. It's a 3 and a 6...

...or a 9.

[gameshowfan1986]

9 (Middle)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Devon touches screen)

And there's an I. That's the last roll of the round, Antonio. You may guess the middle clue if you'd like. A wrong guess or a pass -- and we'll play another name game.

[gameshowfan1986]

Another Name Game

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okie doke. We'll leave the board as is.

Antonio, please head back to your buzzer. Frank's already ready for the next name game. So -- let's take a look.

(FF reveal sfx)

Eight-letter famous surname. Here comes your question.

Who's been on a roll -- ever since his days with Poison?

(ding)

[Players, please PM me your answer and a buzz code.]

(Antonio buzzes in)

Antonio?

Antonio: Michaels

(dings; audience applause)

Bret Michaels. Great singer -- even better person.

All right, Antonio. You know the way to the box by now. Shelly's given you the dice. You -- are on a roll.


(Antonio rolls)

First roll in this round is a 5 and a 1...

...or a 6 -- and -- yikes -- I'm just now realizing your options are limited to the top row.

All the ones are gone and blocked. You may still play the other component, the 5, or the sum of 6.

[gameshowfan1986]

6 (Top)
