You're welcome, Bill. Kourtney and I understand what you're saying.

The middle is worth...  A surprise prize, a pair of earrings valued at $2,700! (applause)   And that gives Sergio a lead of just $2,525. STILL four Fool's Gold cards left on that board, so it's becoming more and more dangerous. If Kourtney wins a toss up question, he can use his Take card to take away any one of those three prizes from his opponent. And this question goes to you Kourtney. Hit it on the head and you'll win control automatically. Sergio might have an advantage with this question, but it's yours to answer Kourtney. In what year was the Euro introduced? |

Spain is one of the ocuntries who introduced it, and it was 2002.

I know it has been a while bit I am going to say 1999.

1999 is exactly right Kourtney! (applause) Year my son was born in fact. First things first...  Do you wish to use your Take card now Kourtney? And if so, which prize do you wish to take from Sergio? |

Yes, I will use my take card and take the jukebox...

Now Kourtney, next decision, do you wish to play the board or pass control to Sergio?

Post by billmcdee on Jun 8, 2018 4:25:26 GMT -5
There is a Double Gold up there, another Take card, but 4 Fool's Golds still as well.
A risk either way.

Post by pathfinder20 on Jun 8, 2018 7:14:21 GMT -5
I am going to pass.

Yikes! Well, I have to pick Doctors Orders, number 9.

By taking the Jukebox, Kourtney's score increases by $8,000 while Sergio's decreases by $8,000.  Sergio, Kourtney passed the board to you, and you selected number 9... Behind the 9 is...  UT OH!!!!!!! And all of your remaining cash and prizes have been taken away by the Fool's gold card... I am very sorry about that Sergio, but the game isn't over yet!  A player has to win by $25,000 or more. Kourtney is close, but not quite there yet. He just needs another $1,975 though at this point. Next question goes to you Sergio, see if you can build again or perhaps do to Kourtney what he just did to you. At what speed in miles per hour are particles expelled from a human nose when sneezing? Who writes these questions? (chuckling) Sergio, what say you? |

Grrr, at this point. It's game over, but let's go for 70.

Post by pathfinder20 on Jun 8, 2018 14:56:13 GMT -5
I am going to say higher.

 Don't give up the ship just yet Sergio. There are still three Fool's Gold cards left out of nine boxes on the board, and if Kourtney hits one of those, we'll be back to a nothing-nothing tie. Sergio says 70 miles per hour, Kourtney predicts higher. The actual speed at which particles are expelled from a human nose when sneezing in miles per hour is...  104 miles per hour! It IS higher! Okay Kourtney let me set the stage here...  Nine boxes remain, six are safe, three contain Fool's Gold. Of the six safe boxes, 1 is a Take card, two are prize cards which may or may not put you over $25,000, there's one cash box left which again may or may not put you over the $25,000 mark. One box is $10,000, that would definitely give you the win. One is the Double Gold which would also give you the win. Very interesting choice for you to have to make Kourtney, do you want to play it or pass it? |

Very gutsy move! Number 19, my birth date, tonight is... Is.... IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The last money box! This could prove a very important decision for top, middle or bottom Kourtney. You need $1,975 or more to win your second match. Which one do you want, top, middle or bottom? |

If it is worth $1,975 or more, Kourtney Wilson will win his second match here on Gold Rush. It is...  $2,250! That's a win!!! (Battlestars win cue) (cheering and applause)  Kourtney, some luck, some strategy, knowledge, guts and intuition all contributed toward you winning your second match here tonight on Gold Rush, congratulations. And I must say this final score in NO WAY reflects just how nip and tuck and how very close and exciting a contest this one was. Sergio, you displayed a tremendous amount of knowledge, very good strategy too, unfortunately the great equalizer, the Fool's Gold card, was what ultimately did you in. You and Kourtney were very skillful in avoiding all of them until much later in our game. We have some nice consolation prizes for you Sergio, along with the Rosland Capital gold, and since you came all the way to Hollywood to be on our show, our staff all chipped in and purchased a first class plane ticket for your return trip home to Spain! A VERY nice hand for Sergio Roman Rodriguez! (Cheering and applause) Kourtney, another $25,275 in cash and prizes. Our 2 new features helped contribute toward your big win tonight, the insurance marker plus the take card. Let's hear about that prize now, Burton? Burton Richardson: It's this entertaining jukebox! (applause)  Burton: Relax and unwind with the Jack Daniels' Nostalgic Bubbler CD Jukebox. This high quality jukebox features attractive Jack Daniel's merchandising and contains enough room for 100 of your favorite compact disks! Retail value, $8,000! Congratulations! (applause)  Kourtney, thus far in two nights, you have won almost $55,000 in cash and prizes! When we return, Kourtney might drive home in a magnificent automobile, and also a possible Super Gold jackpot valued at $270,000 in cash! (Audience ooohs) We will be back to play the Bonus Bonanza, and see if Kourtney can continue to evade the Fool's Gold cards, right after these words of interest! Do NOT touch that dial! (applause)  |

(Off The Air)
Kourtney, I am hoping to get your entire bonus game done before the conclusion of this weekend.
If I cannot, it is because I will be away on vacation from Monday June 11th through Sunday June 17th (resuming hopefully on the 17th).
Again my goal is to get your bonus game completed this weekend if possible, but if not, it's okay!
Thank you.

 After a very nip and tuck hard fought match, Kourtney Wilson has earned another try at the Bonus Bonanza. Let's go! ($ale of the Century 1989 trip to the bonus area music)  Kourtney, as before, 5 of the numbers contain Fool's Gold cards. You want to avoid those as much as possible. If you turn over a third one, you've had it. Sadly that's what happened last time. A reminder, all your front game winnings are safe and sound. There are three sets of three pictures that match hidden behind 9 of these numbers. Three prospectors, three gold mines and three pots of gold. The object here is to uncover 3 of a kind of one of those winning symbols before you uncover 3 Fool's Gold cards. If you do that, you will win the cash award that is attached to your winning pick. Cash awards range from $25,000 to as much as $50,000, plus one worth $75,000, one worth $100,000 and one is attached to the card marked SUPER GOLD, and if your winning pick is attached to THAT card, you will win the Super Gold Jackpot which tonight is worth...$270,000!!!!!! (Wild cheers and applause) It starts at $250,000 and we add $10,000 to it per night until it is won. You can also win it if your first 3 picks are the same winning symbol, an instant match in other words. One other symbol on the board is the car. If you uncover it, and you get 3 matching symbols before 3 Fool's Gold cards, you will ALSO win THIS... ($ale of the Century car theme)  Burton Richardson: It's a 2018 Mercedes!!! The GLA 250 four door sedan, comes equipped with a 2 liter turbo inline 4 208 horsepower engine, ECO start/stop system, versitile four wheel independent suspension and much more… The GLA by Mercedes… $33,400, good luck! Very well Kourtney, if you haven't any questions, why don't you start by selecting 3 numbers off of the 15 numbered board for me if you please. |

Alright let’s start with 1, 9 and 11
|

|

Post by billmcdee on Jun 9, 2018 12:14:36 GMT -5
Number 1 to begin...  The car!!! Oh boy! Let's find something good under number 9!  Oh no! Okay that's just one Fool's Gold. Let's stay away from them Number 11 is next...  OH NO!!!!!!!! (screams in the audience) Alright, Kourtney. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, one more Fool's Gold and it's game over, and you'll win $0 again here at the bonus game. The good news though, I am able to make you this offer. If you are willing to give up the car, I will remove one of those Fool's Gold cards, then you'll have only 1 instead of 2 against you. Do you want to forfeit the car in exchange for removing one of the Fool's Gold cards, or do you want to risk it? This is a one time only offer, if you decide not to remove the 2nd Fool's Gold right now, you won't be allowed to again during the rest of this bonus game. |

That's how I would play it.
Call out 2 more numbers for me please Kourtney.

Post by pathfinder20 on Jun 9, 2018 17:36:46 GMT -5
7 and 13.

Post by billmcdee on Jun 10, 2018 6:12:19 GMT -5
 Very well, the car is out of play for tonight, but you are back down to just one Fool's Gold so far. Number 7 is Kourtney's next selection...  There's the old Prospector. Find 2 more of him and you win. Kourtney now goes with 13...  Yipes stripes! A second Fool's Gold card! There are just 2 left on the board and the other 8 numbers are still safe. That being said, if you wish to stop the game right now Kourtney, I'll give you $5,000. Do you want to quit, or select another number? |

Post by pathfinder20 on Jun 10, 2018 6:58:04 GMT -5
Let’s try 3
|
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jun 10, 2018 7:18:07 GMT -5
Come on 3, be there!  Oh yes! (applause) 1 more box is hiding the old Prospector, if you find it, you will win the cash award attached to it, and that will be a minimum of $25,000 as you well know, and it might be the Super Gold Jackpot of $270,000. However, now there's a 2 out of 9 chance of losing, so I'll offer you, $7,500 to quit right now Kourtney. Do you quit and take the money? If not, please call out another number sir. |
