Correct!
Now, we have some bad rolls to avoid. Usually they are low numbers, but this time, the bad rolls are 10 and 11. Roll or pass?

I forgot the 8 as a bad roll as well, but I won't think this will change your decision, Evan. Matt, here's the deal. Roll a 9 and you win the first game. Roll an 8, a 10 or an 11 and Evan wins the first game. Roll a 12, you roll again. Good luck!   (cheers and applause) It's a six! Let's remove the 4 and the 2...  And that clears Column 3!  If you win this first game, not only you'll win a various array of prizes, but you'll also play our Around the world side game for up to 5 trips. One number left on the board, so this is the last question of this first game. What place Hercules had to clean as the fifth of his twelve Labours? |

The Augean stables is correct.
Now, you know the deal, Matt. Whoever rolls a three wins this first game, whoever rolls something else that's not a double loses. What's your decision?

All right. Evan, on several occasions you had to roll anything but a three and you rolled a three. This time, you HAVE to roll a three. Good luck.   (buzzer, groans) It's a seven... Matt wins Game 1!

That's not all, because you're going to play our side game Around the world for up to 5 trips. Where to, Rich? You'll play our game Around the world for a chance to win trips to Boston, Puerto Rico, Madrid, Sydney and Abu Dhabi, totalling $32,040!(cheers and applause) This game is easy and short. You'll play with this one die. (the hostess gives one die to Matt) If you roll a 1, you go to Boston. If you roll a 2, you go to Puerto Rico. If you roll a 3, you go to Spain. If you roll a 4, you go to the land Down Under, Australia. And if you roll a 5, you go to Abu Dhabi. But if you roll a 6, you'll win ALL FIVE trips.

That's correct. 2 is the only bad roll, but it's a double so you're safe. Let'em roll!   It's a seven. Two ways to play it, I know which one you'll choose, but you have to make it official. |

 And you clear the middle column! (cheers and applause)  If you win this game, not only you'll force a tie-breaker, but you'll also win a fantastic printer. We have some bad rolls off the board, so it could be the last question of the match. True or false: French César Awards (the French equivalent for the Oscars) have borrowed their name from Julius Caesar. |

You know what NOT to do. Good luck. It's a six. Only way to play it is to remove 5 and 1.  Three numbers left on the board, and... Evan? Where are you? He left the stage while we cared of the dice! (he sent me a PM to leave the game in progress) You know what, Matt... You're our new champion! (cheers and applause) We'll take a short break to think about it and we come back. (fade out) |

Welcome back! Matt is our new champion due to Evan's forfeit in the middle of the second round. Anyway, he had his reasons, and we have all the information needed to deliver all his prizes.
Now, since we're in the middle of the second round, I'm going to give Matt the dice and a chance to clear the board to win some prizes. If you don't, Matt, you'll win the house minimum of $500. Anyway, you'll be playing the Big Numbers after that.
So, it's a little less than $10,000 of prizes at stake. Are you ready, Matt?

Let'em roll!   (buzzer) Well, that was quick. But you're still our new champion! (cheers and applause)  Well, you get $500 for this incomplete round. That makes more than $55,000 of winnings just in the main game! (cheers and applause) But before you'll get to play the Big Numbers, we have a tribute to make for our biggest champion so far, even if he's on the road now. Today was his 16th day. He won 14 times, and already lost once but was invited back due to a technicality. In the span of these 16 days, he's won $424,475 in cash and prizes. (applause) He's won a terrific list of prizes we've gathered during the break: a trip to China, a vase, a trip to Singapore, a tapestry, a range, a refrigerator, a kitchen sink, a dishwasher, a kitchen island, a pinball machine, a pool table, a foosball table, a $2,000 gift card, a rug, a sectional sofa, an LED TV, a side table, a trip to Paris worth over $17,000, a handbag, designer shoes, an evening gown, a smartphone with a calling plan, an iPad Air, a desktop computer, a treadmill, a tennis ball machine and a table tennis table. Plus, three cars and $206,500 in cash! (cheers and applause) Evan, wherever you are, congratulations and good luck for your future endeavours. Matt, you're our new champion and we'll play the Big Numbers for $27,000 after this break. (fade out, cheers and applause) |
