Thank you Jim and welcome to Blockbusters. If you've got the skill and the right strategy, you could walk out of here with $10,000.
(cheers)
Let's meet our two players.
First we have Michael Clifford. Tell us about yourself Michael.

Good luck to the both of you. Here's how we play our game. (board opens and blocks fly in) --------------------------------------------------------------------

Each of those letters represents a one word answer to a question. Michael, you are red so you'll go top to bottom. You can do it in four moves. Kevin, you are white, you must do it in five moves. But it takes two games to win and to go on to the gold run. What letter are we starting with? (ding) O What O is a sea creature with eight arms? (buzzcodes please by PM) |
