That's right! Interesting fact about "Rope"...it was all filmed in one shot, with no cutaways or close-ups. Let's see the hidden card for Matt.

Not much better, I'm afraid. Matt with 14, Evan with 3, as we carry on with Evan's request for THE HUMAN BODY. Hands on buzzers.

It is higher...

A SEVEN (audience murmurs). That's going to take you to 16. Play on, or freeze? Remember, if you freeze, you'll have a chance to unfreeze and finish out the round, should you need it. What's your pleasure?

(Audience applauds)
I think that's the right idea. We've seen a lot of low cards, so you may be facing danger. On the other hand, that puts Matt into a must-answer situation. Since Matt is the only active player, he must answer every question correctly. One mistake, and Evan is the champ.
OK, Matt. Here's the lowdown. You have 14, and Evan has frozen at 16. If you surpass Evan and decide to freeze, Evan gets to unfreeze and play last. Of course, if you get 21, then you're the new champ. Your category choices are COLLEGE FOOTBALL, INTERNATIONAL CUISINE, and BIRDS. What would you like?
