I see a rematch of the last episode is in order... (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 another edition of Card Sharks! I see that today's episode is basically a replay of the last one, because we have the same two contestants that played it, and we welcome back our defending champion gameboy2000 and mringgenberg!   And also let's give another warm welcome to our dealers who will have the same assignments as the last show: Amber Lancaster and Tiffany Coyne! While Amber deals gameboy2000's cards and Tiffany does the same with mringenberg's, let me remind you that all matches are best two out of three, and the winner advances to the Money Cards at the end of the show. With $7,000 in total cash being won the first time around, gameboy2000 will begin our game. And here's the first question, to which we asked 100 fans of the sitcom Roseanne: "Do you think the rebooted show is more, less or just as funny than the original?"How many of them said that the new show is more funny? |

So gameboy2000 says 45... ding! ...and mringgenberg thinks it's lower. ding! The actual number of people who said that the new Roseanne is more funny than the original one is... ding-ding-ding! ...47, so it is not lower, and gameboy2000 will play his cards first. Now Amber, what is his first card? (8 ♥)It's an 8. You can play it right now, or change it in hopes of getting a more favorable card. What is your choice? |

Yes, it's a 4. Now, you may continue to call cards until you get all five right, or you can quit right now. What's your pleasure?

Higher than a 4?
(7 ♠)

Right again! Two more cards and you'll take the first round. Are you going to continue or freeze?

Freeze

Post by Bill Skinner on May 10, 2018 8:08:18 GMT -5
So we freeze at the 7, and get into a new question.  This time, it'll be mringgenberg who answers the next question. We asked 100 people who were of legal voting age back in 1998: "Were you in favor of or against impeachment of Bill Clinton after his affair with Monica Lewinsky?"How many of them said that they were against impeachment? |

mringgenberg says 34. ding! Now gameboy2000, is the actual number higher or lower than 34? |

Post by gameboy2000 on May 10, 2018 11:02:11 GMT -5
I'll say higher.

Post by Bill Skinner on May 10, 2018 13:33:13 GMT -5
And it's higher for gameboy2000. ding! The actual number of people who were against impeachment of President Clinton in 1998 is... ding-ding-ding! ...49, so it is higher, and gameboy2000 will play from the 7 he froze at earlier. Are you going to play the 7 or change it? |

We'll change the 7 to...

Lower than a 10?
(2 ♥)
Looks like you get an automatic win here, unless the next card is another 2. So are you going to continue and try for the win or freeze?

Higher

And so, if the last card is higher than a 2, you win. Is it? (8 ♠) ding-ding-ding!(1978 CS Win Cue)  And as before, gameboy2000 leads mringgenberg, 1-0. (1978 CS Theme) But when we come back, we'll give mringgenberg a chance to catch up with our second round of questions and card playing. We'll be back after these words. |

We're back with the second round, and the first question goes to our challenger, which is mringgenberg. We asked 100 kids:
"If your family had a choice of going to Disneyland (in Anaheim) or Walt Disney World (in Orlando) on vacation, where would you want them to go?"
How many of them said Walt Disney World?
