Along with the portable windmill and steel plow, the third invention was BARBED WIRE. No card, but MATT continues with another category. Would you like RELIGION, HISTORICAL NOVELS, AQUATIC BIOLOGY, or ENGLISH HISTORY?

That's right! A 4 will give you the win, a trip to the Championship Round, and $1,000. Anything higher, we give the Top Card. Anything lower, it's decision time.

(BUZZ!)
Sorry, Matt, but that busts you at 23. We'll see you in Round Two, though. John, you're on your own now. You must get 21 exactly, which requires three cards. Make one mistake along the way and you're done, so be careful. Choose your category.

Sorry, that's not the answer I have. (BUZZ!)
It's NOT called a "dogfish." Therefore, you are frozen at 19, which means Evan wins with 20! (Theme plays)
Evan, you've won Round One and get to bypass Round Two. You've also won $500 cash! (Applause) When we come back, Matt and John are going to fight it out for the second spot in our Championship Round. Who will get a chance to dethrone Evan? We'll find out after this!

Randy West: We're back with more of "Top Card!" Who will join Evan in the Championship Round? Let's find out, with our host, Jon Darrall!
Me: Thanks, Randy! Challengers, this is it. One of you will battle against Evan for a chance to win over $25,000, while the other goes home. We'll play 9 new categories, plus a Last Chance, with the same rules as before. Here are the nine categories.
[BODIES OF WATER]
[FAMOUS LOVERS]
[CANADA]
[GEOLOGY]
[FOOD & DRINK]
[ISLANDS]
[ROYALTY]
['80s MUSIC]

Ordinarily, we'd go to the challenger to start, but since both of you are challengers, we'll start with the player to my left. Matt, that's you. Please choose a category to get us going.
