Tic Tac Dough (SYN) - Episode 2

[gameshowfan1995]

As time ran out last time, Anthony Long was beaten by the Dragon at the last second, but he returns with a one-game total of $1,250 in cash. A word of note, starting with this episode, the bonus amounts are as follows: $200, $300, $400, $600, $800 and $1,000. $2,000 is still the goal for a win, with $10,000 still the prize for an instant TIC-TAC win. I need Anthony Long to sign in, as well as Frank Sartori, as he expressed interest in playing this episode. I'll also need someone to face the winner of game 1.

Thank you, Jim Thornton. Hello, everybody! Thanks a lot. We have ourselves a good crowd today. Welcome once again to Tic Tac Dough.

So Anthony, welcome back. I'm sure you had a chance to consider the $1,250 you won yesterday, did you not?

[gameshowfan1995]

Great! Glad to hear it. Ready to try and win some more today?

[gameshowfan1995]

Well much good luck to you today. Frank Sartori, from Holbrook, Massachusetts, where he watches us on WCVB-TV Channel 5. Jim says your interests include The Muppets and making people happy. Now Frank, who's your favorite Muppet, out of all of the Muppets?

[grapebuy789]

Oh goodness. The list to numerous. To name a few, Cookie Monster, Kermit, Fozzie Bear, Dr. Teeth.

[gameshowfan1995]

Ah, I see. A vast assortment. Now, it also says you make people happy. Give me some examples of how you do that.

[grapebuy789]

Well, I try to make jokes that I think will put people into a good mood. Overall, I just try to be a nice guy.

[gameshowfan1995]

Alright. Well good luck to you as well. Let's play Tic Tac Dough. Here's how we play: You get an X or an O by correctly answering a question in a category you select. 3 in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins the game. A correct answer in an outside box adds $250 to the pot, The center box is important, so its' questions are a little tougher, but it adds $500 to the pot. The winner of the game becomes the champion, keeps all the money in the pot, and goes on to play the bonus game. Now, let's have a look at the categories for this first game of the day.

(categories reveal)



We have Coaches & Managers, Hollywood Musicals, The Bible, Asia, Actors & Actresses, Myths & Legends, Art & Artists, the Secret Category, and the English Language. The Secret Category is a very special category, in which if it's selected, I'll ask you a question in a unknown subject. Answer it correctly, and the entire pot will double in value. Our X player always commences play, and Anthony, you're our champion, so that means you're X. Go ahead and select.
