And we have our two! (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, Erin Harris, and welcome to our first show of 2018! Last time we played, grapebuy789 had won his third game in a row, and he now has $10,000 in total winnings. However, he'll have to face a familiar foe in mringgenberg to get to four.  You already know how the game works, so let's get into our first question of the game. grapebuy789, as the returning champion, you get to answer this one. We asked 100 New Yorkers: "Do you get tired of hearing that your city has the rudest people?"How many of them said yes? |

grapebuy789 says 56... ding! ...and mringgenberg says higher. ding! The actual number of New Yorkers who are tired of hearing that their city having the rudest people is... ding-ding-ding! ...75, so it is higher, and mringgenberg gets to play his cards first. Now let's all give a warm welcome to our dealers, Amber Lancaster and Tiffany Coyne!  Amber is handling grapebuy789's cards, and Tiffany is doing mringgenberg's. And so Tiffany, will you please do the honors of revealing mringgenberg's first card of the game? (9 ♥)Why, it's a 9! So mringgenberg, would you like to play the card right away or change it and hope for something better? |

And what do we change it to?
(8 ♥)
An 8. I don't know how much it helps, but is the next card higher or lower?

Lower than an 8?
(8 ⋄)
buzz!
That was no help at all, because you got another 8. Which means, grapebuy789, that you are now in the game, but you must play your first card right now. What is it, Amber?
(9 ⋄)
A 9; is the next card higher or lower?

Wrong again, so neither player advances, and we'll just get into our second question. mringgenberg, this one is for you, and we asked 100 bank tellers:
"Have you ever gotten worried that you will one day be replaced by an ATM?"
How many of them said yes?

I said just a few minutes ago that it's a little lower.

And grapebuy789 says that it's lower. ding! The actual number of bank tellers who say they've been worried about getting replaced by an ATM is... ding-ding-ding! ...77, so it is lower, and grapebuy789 will play first this time. What's the new card, Amber? (2 ♣) Aha, a deuce! I know what you're going to say, but you can change it if you want. |

Oh, it was a 10! So once again, mringgenberg, you are in the game, but you must play your own base right now. What is it, Tiffany?

Oh no! For the second time, neither player advances beyond the first card, and we get into our third question. grapebuy789, we asked 100 newspaper editors:
"Do you feel under intense pressure to meet deadlines whenever bad weather strikes?"
How many of them said yes?
