That's RIGHT!!!!!!  (DING DING DING) That sound means that the SPRINT ROUND is over and, as we look at the scores..... FRANKIE and KEVIN are going to the FINAL SHOWDOWN...Congratulations. MARK, I'm sorry, I know you tried your best but the two contestants that you were in the middle of was quick on the buzzer. You are not leaving us empty handed, though; you got four points during the sprint round and, at $25 per point, that's $100 for you.  As well as some nice consolation prizes as well. A big round of applause for MARK, everyone. And, when we come back, FRANKIE and KEVIN will go against each other in the FINAL SHOWDOWN. Stay tuned. |

Hello and welcome back to THE BIG SHOWDOWN.....We have FRANKIE and KEVIN going against each other for the FINAL SHOWDOWN. Before we start, let's do some accounting.... FRANKIE gained 17 points during the sprint round and, at $25 per point, that's an extra $425 for a total of $825. KEVIN gained 18 points and, at $25 per point, that's an extra $450 for a total of $1,075.  Here's how the FINAL SHOWDOWN works: The Payoff Point is 7 and we play it the way we have been playing it, but this time, every time a question is asked the catergories will change and all twelve categories from all four rounds are to be played. The one who gets seven points wins the game, becomes the champ and will go on to the GOLDEN DICE bonus round for a chance at $25,000 in cash. (OOHS AND AWWS) First off, let's see what our payoff cash bonus will be: (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND FLASHING NUMBERS)  $925. Now, FRANKIE, since you were in the lead at the end of the sprint round, you get to pick first and here's our first three categories. We have.  FRANKIE, what do you want? |

THAT IS CORRECT!!!  FRANKIE, since you are now one point away from the payoff point, that automatically means that you have to pick the first category.....which is:  GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS. If FRANKIE gets this right, he will still be the champ.....KEVIN, you need to get this right. GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS: Mostly associated with former President Jimmy Carter, what organization provides affordable housing to those in need? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 16 Here are the results: KEVIN first FRANKIE second (BZZT) KEVIN, your answer? |

Wild West for the win.

Post by johnnyb on Jan 3, 2018 22:10:00 GMT -5
And since that would put FRANKIE over the payoff point, he is blocked out from this question.  If KEVIN gets this right, he'll be our new champ. THE WILD WEST: What U.S. state seceded from Mexico in 1835 and was annexed to the U.S. in 1836? |
