My favorite is Kermit the Frog. Anyways... good luck to you, Matt. Coming up after the break, we'll begin the first round and you should see how HUGE the 21 bonus pot and the Blackjack Bonus are right now. We'll begin round 1 of Gambit right after this commercial time out. Stick around, folks... [MAIN THEME][CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]*fade to commercial* |

*back to studio*  Welcome back to Gambit. Now that Matt and Kevin are all set, let's get this show on the road. And remember... whoever wins the best two out of three rounds will be playing Beat The Dealer. Right now, let's take a look at the big money board underneath my podium.  [CLANG]What we're seeing now could be history in the making. Whoever gets a combination of at least three cards wins the 21 bonus worth $9,000. And whoever gets an Ace and either a 10 or face card wins the Blackjack Bonus worth $32,500! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Before the start of the show, the guys at Tandem Tech, a RANDOM.ORG company, have delivered Jennifer a deck of 54 ultra sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed. Jenny is now breaking the seal and our give our champion Matt the cut. Each correct answer is 100... and whoever comes closer to 21 than your opponent (without going over) wins an additional $500. Round 1 now begins as Jennifer reveals the first card.  Jennifer: Our first card in round 1 is a Jack.  Tony: Hands on buzzers. Here comes the first $100 question. Cagney & Lacey, NYPD Blue, or Police Woman-- What was the first television crime show in which the two primary characters were women?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

It was Cagney & Lacey. 100 bucks goes to Kevin.  [DING]Kevin... do you want to keep the Jack or pass it to Matt? |

 If Kevin's next card is an Ace he'll win the $32,500 Blackjack Bonus. Next question... Jordanna Brewster, Soleil-Moon Frye, or Candace Cameron-Bure-- Who played the role of the main title character in the 1984 sitcom "Punky Brewster"? |

[TIME UP BUZZER]Matt have missed the deadline... strike one. The correct answer was Soleil-Moon Frye. Kevin gets another hundred bucks.  [DING]Kevin... do you want to keep the card or pass it to Matt?

Um...I'd like to pass the card.

[AUDIENCE GASPS] The audience is stunned to hear that the challenger is passing the card to the champ. If the next card is an Ace, Kevin could have won 32,500 in our Blackjack Bonus. Let's find out if he have made the right move. Jennifer, please reveal Matt's first card. *Jennifer reveals card*  Jennifer: Looks like the challenger have made the right move because Matt's first card is a 2.  Tony: The Blackjack Bonus is out of play for Matt. But the champ still has a chance to win $9,000 in the 21 bonus pot. Next question... Mount Whitney, Mount Diablo, or Mount Shasta-- What mountain in California is the highest spot in the contiguous United States? |

Mount Whitney is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING] You need either an 8 or 9, Matt. Do you want to keep your next card or pass it to Kevin? |

Jennifer... please reveal Matt's next card.  Jennifer: Matt's next card is an 8. [AUDIENCE GASPS, APPLAUSE]  Tony: If either Matt or Kevin's next card is an Ace, one of them will win the $9,000 21 Bonus pot. Matt... do you want to continue the round or freeze? |
