Remember that we do count three-letter words in this, so just letting you know. $20, as before, with four-letter words counting $50. Still want to play on?

(ding!) All right. Just wanted to be certain you knew it. One completed line, room for maybe two more if you’re lucky. On we go: ARIZONA, CALIFORNIAor NEVADA: In what state will you find Topanga Canyon? Kevin >> 33 ↑↑↑↑↑57↑↑↑↑↑James >> 8 Kevin. |

No! Oh, no, no! It's in California! James, lucky you! Once again, you get control of the letters!  Not really good ones—U, J, T. Place them wherever, then tell me if you want the grid scored. |

Well! All right! Maybe with this one, you'll reconsider. Getting close to filling that grid. Next question:
THE CULT,
THE CURE
or
THE SMITHS:
Morrissey is the lead singer of what popular English rock group?
Kevin >> 12
↑↑↑↑↑99↑↑↑↑↑
James >> 9
Kevin!

Right away! (applause and cheers!)I might have placed some of those letters in different spots, but who knows? Maybe you're saving them for something special. Which words does he have correct?  (bing, bing, beep!) (cheers!) Two fours and a three! One hundred twenty dollars! A ZEP, by the way, is a sandwich like a hoagie or sub! You also came up with GROW and TRUE! Wow. For a few moments, I thought you had bit off more than you could chew, but Kevin gave you a few outs there. We clear those letters from the board…  …and we continue with this question: EASTASIA, EURASIAor OCEANIA: In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the United Kingdom is part of which super-state? Kevin >> 100 ↑↑↑↑↑81↑↑↑↑↑James >> 11 Kevin. |

…Oceania. The British Isles are the only area within Europe that is a part of Oceania. Everywhere else in Europe, plus much of the Soviet Union, makes up Eurasia. Well, James, this is all too familiar for you. Here come the letters.  A few vowels: I, E and A. Where do they go? |

[First time I made an error in a question: he first appeared in 1964. I’m throwing out the question and putting a new one in its place.
The correct answer was John F. Kennedy.]

"DESPACITO,"
"GANGNAM STYLE"
or
"SORRY":
With over 4.8 billion views, which music video is the most-viewed video on YouTube?
Kevin >> 43

[Incidentally, Franklin was on the half-dollar prior to Kennedy, so I guess I can understand here. Thank God this is but a pilot!] No, it's "Despacito"! "Gangnam Style" has over 3.1 billion views; "Sorry," 2.9 billion. James, it's back to you again!  N, O, Y. James? |

 (ding!) Three more questions left in the round. I wish to point out that the final question will be played for five letters instead of three. CRICKET, HANDBALLor RUGBY: In what sport do teams compete to score "tries"? Kevin >> 86 ↑↑↑↑↑66↑↑↑↑↑James >> 17 Kevin again. |

YES! Finally! (cheers!)It took eight questions, but finally Kevin breaks through.  T, O, Y. Place the letters, then let me know if you want the grid scored or not. Keep in mind that if you decide to hold off, whoever gains control next can only place one of the letters. |
