I need two players to go against FRANKIE in another fun-filled, far-out and always groovy edition of THE BIG SHOWDOWN.
Nels and Matt cannot play this episode.
Any takers?

Well, last I checked, my name’s Evan. I’m a college student from the Chicago suburbs majoring in journalism and telecommunications. In my free time, I enjoy video games, game shows, and board games - lots of games, basically.

Oh goodness, that may be a toughie. My two favorites right now would probably be the Fire Emblem games and Tetris.

Post by johnnyb on May 25, 2018 21:50:39 GMT -5
You are correct....THE NETHERLANDS or HOLLAND we could accept. EVAN, you have control of the category board and here are our six categories for the first two rounds...We have.  FOREIGN WORDS AND PHRASES, ROCK MUSIC, SPORTS STARS, LITERATURE, MOUNTAINS and THE CIVIL WAR. What do you want to choose? |

GETTYSBURG is RIGHT.....  LENNY, you have control of the board, but since you are one away from the payoff point that means you must take the one point category....which is.  FOREIGN WORDS AND PHRASES....FRANKIE and EVAN, you know what to do. FOREIGN WORDS AND PHRASES: If you caused the French phrase "Faux Pas", what have you caused socially? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 15 Here are the results: FRANKIE first EVAN second LENNY third (BZZT) FRANKIE, your answer? |

THE CIVIL WAR is his choice and that means that LENNY is blocked because he would go over the payoff point if he answered.  This is for FRANKIE and EVAN only.....and the one who gets this right will win the first payoff point. THE CIVIL WAR: Richmond, Virginia, Tallahassee, Florida or Birmingham, Alabama: What city was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 38 Here are the results: FRANKIE first EVAN second (BZZT) FRANKIE, your answer? |
