(1978 CS Intro) ERIN HARRIS: Aces are high, deuces are low! Call it right, and win the dough...on Card Sharks! (1978 CS Theme) And now, here's the host of Card Sharks, Bill Skinner!Thank you very much, Erin Harris, and welcome to Card Sharks! It seems that we have a rematch of the last show, with grapebuy789 as our returning champion, who currently has a one-day total of $2,100. And mringgenberg is back to challenge him again.  And here are our two dealers, Amber Lancaster and Tiffany Coyne.  While Amber deals the cards for grapebuy789 and Tiffany does the same for mringgenberg, I will remind you that the objective of the game is to guess a series of five cards correctly before your opponent does. All games are best-of-three, with the winner of two matches playing the Money Cards for more money. Now, as our returning champion, grapebuy789 will answer the first question of the game. Here's the question, which we asked 100 firefighters: "Have you been scratched by a cat or dog while trying to rescue them from a burning home?"How many of them said yes? |

Hm.....I think that would be a decent amount. I'll say 46.

So grapebuy789 says 46. ding! Now mringgenberg, is the actual number higher or lower than 46? |

Lower

mringgenberg thinks it's lower... ding! ...and the number of firefighters who have been scratched by a dog or cat that they've tried to rescue from a burning home is... ding-ding-ding! ...53, so it's not lower, and grapebuy789 will lay his cards first. Now the first card that Amber will draw is... (5 ♥)...a 5. Now you can play it right away or change it in search of a better card. What is your decision? |

I'd like to change the 5 please.

Post by Bill Skinner on Oct 25, 2017 9:51:15 GMT -5
And the 5 now becomes...
(2 ♥)
...a 2! I know what you're going to say to that... (Higher)

You thought right Bill. Higher!!

Post by Bill Skinner on Oct 25, 2017 22:24:40 GMT -5
Is it higher than a 2?
(3 ♣)
ding!
Of course it is! Now would you like to continue or freeze?
|

Post by grapebuy789 on Oct 26, 2017 7:47:57 GMT -5
Play on. I'll say it's higher.

Post by Bill Skinner on Oct 26, 2017 9:54:31 GMT -5
Higher than a 3?
(3 ♥)
buzz!
Nope, that's another 3, so mringgenberg gets to play, but he cannot change his base. What is it, Tiffany?
(2 ♠)
A 2, so you may as well call higher on this one too.

Yes, it's a Jack! Now you have the choice of continuing or freezing; what would you like to do?

Lower than a Jack?
(J ♠)
buzz!
Oh no, another Jack, so neither player advances, and we move on to our second question of the game. This time, it is mringgenberg who will answer. We asked 100 horror movie fans:
"Between Jason and Freddy Krueger, which one is scarier?"
How many of them said that Freddy Krueger is scarier?

I'm going to say it's a little higher.

It's 38 for mringgenberg... ding! ...and higher for grapebuy789. ding! The actual number of horror movie fans who said that Freddy Krueger was scarier is... ding-ding-ding! ...56, so it is higher, and grapebuy789 will start with a fresh new row. What's the new base card, Amber? (Q ♣) A Queen! Now grapebuy789, would you like to play the Queen or change it? |
|

Post by grapebuy789 on Oct 27, 2017 15:13:23 GMT -5
I'd like to change the queen.
|
|
|

Post by Bill Skinner on Oct 27, 2017 23:07:46 GMT -5
So what does the Queen become?
(K ♠)
A King. So is the next card higher or lower?
|
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Oct 28, 2017 8:45:04 GMT -5
Not what I wanted. But I'll say lower.

Lower than a King?
(6 ♥)
ding!
Sure, you dodged a bullet with that one. Now what's your next move?
|
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Oct 28, 2017 14:27:42 GMT -5
I'll go lower.

Got it again! Now what?

Yes, a 7. So now that you're one card away from a win, would you like to continue or freeze?
