Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 34)

[gameshowfan1986]

Reroll

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay. Which dice would you like to freeze?

---

(Antonio, please then provide stopper letters for the dice that you're not freezing. Thanks.)

[gameshowfan1986]

Keep (2 & 5)
Reroll (4)(B)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, we'll freeze the 2 and 5.

(freeze sfx)

For the rest of this round, those dice will not reroll. The 4 however will.


(rolling sfx)

And there it goes.

(ding)

Oh and a backwards step with a 1. Total on the dice -- 8.

And that makes the score 20 to 8 in Bryan's favor. Now for the first missing digit question in the match. We'll play a sample question first.

(ding)

This is the amount of money a young team on the current version of the game show "Double Dare" scores for winning the opening toss-up challenge. All you have to do is chime in and tell me the missing digit.

Eons ago, the missing digit was a 2 -- *but*...

(ding)

...nowadays it's a 5. We now clear the board and get ready for the intended Round 3 question

Missing digit question: In 2015, Vernon Kay started hosting a game show referring to a certain number of heartbeats in its title. I'll show you the number of heartbeats -- and you tell me the missing digit.

Antonio?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ says the first digit's a 1. Are we talking "1000 Heartbeats"?

Yes indeed. Good job.

(ding; audience applause)


(rolling sfx)

Antonio, you're down by a dozen. Let's see if you can a luckier roll this time.

(ding)

Stop on a 3.

(ding)

Stop on another 3.

(ding)

And stop on a 1. Dice total 7 points if you stop the round here.

[gameshowfan1986]

I'm fine with 7 points...

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered groans and woahs)

Not rerolling. Interesting. We do have a closer game as we get ready for Round 4. This one's on baseball.

Missing digit question: I'll show you Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

I think 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan says Ty Cobb's average was .337; true date?

(buzz)

No, sorry. Anthony, another chance to steal.

(ding)

Again, this is Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average. Anthony, is the missing digit 4, 5 or 6?

[gameshowfan1986]

5

[dougmorrisontheair]

Anthony wants to know if Ty Cobb's batting average was .357.

(buzz)

No -- .367. That was a toughie.

(Frasier's theme plays)

Score remains 20 to 15 in Bryan's favor. Hear that music calling? Let's see if we have better luck with the scrambled eggs.

(scattered cheers)

Players, I can tell you this question involves a scrambled proper name. Please don't tell us what the actual name is -- but instead tell us how many of the letters are in the right spots.

Now to some clues to help.

With the eggs, we've scrambled the name of a famous person who has hosted at least one game show. Tell me how many letters are in their correct positions.

Antonio?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

No answer in time. Bryan, normally, the Crag dice help you in the chance to steal. But, because we don't want to divert your attention from the scrambled eggs...

(ding)

...we have three little dice above the eggs to help. I'll repeat the question.

With the eggs, we've scrambled the name of a famous person who has hosted at least one game show. Tell me how many letters are in their correct positions.

Bryan, is the correct answer 1, 2 or 3?

[Bryan]

1. I’ll go ahead and say it’s Bil Dwyer.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, is he at least right about 1 letter being in its right spot?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes -- and you're right about "Lib Wedry" being an anagram for Bil Dwyer, who hosted "Ultimate Fan League", "Dirty Rotten Cheater" and a reboot of "I've Got A Secret".


(rolling sfx)

Chance to pad the lead comes now, Bryan.

[Bryan]

C B F

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 6.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on *another* 6.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

And stop on a 4. That's one of the best rolls available without getting a straight or better.

Bryan, want the 16 points from this roll -- or do you want to reroll?

[Bryan]

I'll take it!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Taking the points. Challenger leads 34 to 15. Round 6 starting now -- as we come on down to play The Price *WAS* Right.

(TNPiR94 stinger; scattered cheers)

And with the recent completion of the World Cup, this question involves a famous former soccer player.

On the big screen, I'll show you the amount of money David Beckham paid for a black diamond ring he gave to his wife, Victoria, for their first wedding anniversary in 2000. You tell me the missing digit.

Antonio?

[gameshowfan1986]

I'll take a wild guess and say 5..

[dougmorrisontheair]

Antonio says 5's missing in the price. Is he right?

(ding; audience applause)

Great guess. It's right.


(rolling sfx)

Antonio, chance to catch up comes up here.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on a 6.

(ding) (audience groans)

And another 1. Total of 8 points if you stop here, Antonio.

You're currently trailing 34 to 15 and we're in Round 6.

[gameshowfan1986]

Keep: (First) One & Six
Reroll: Other One (E)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers) Going for the name of the game. Let's freeze the first two dice.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

There goes the last number. Can he get a 6 for a Crag?

(ding) (loud groans from crowd)

Oh, man. Close to a Crag. The 5 with the frozen numbers give you 12 points.

Closer game. Seven points separate the players as we go to Round 7 and a question about geography.

Missing digit question: I'll show you the number of street blocks that extend down historic Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. You tell me the missing digit.

Bryan?

[Bryan]

I want to say 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

He wants to say 3...

(ding; audience applause)

...and you say right. Folks in NOLA will want to celebrate from Esplanade Avenue to Canal Street.


(rolling sfx)

There go the dice, Bryan. Chance to pad the lead comes now.
