I need two players to go against NELS for another fun-filled and exciting edition of THE BIG SHOWDOWN.
J.C. and JAMES cannot play.
Any volunteers?

Hello and welcome back. Now that we met our contestants, here's how we play THE BIG SHOWDOWN.
The object is to answer questions in order to reach a specific payoff point which we'll reveal before the round begins. We'll show our contestants six categories worth 1 to 6 points and, just a reminder, those points don't determine the difficulty of the categories.
Each question is a toss-up and the one who buzzes in first (gets closest to buzzcode of 1 to 100) and gets it right will win those points. Now, stragedy is key here because YOU CANNOT GO OVER THE PAYOFF POINT, which means that if one of your opponents picks a catergory with a point score that, if you were to buzz-in and get it right would put you over the payoff point, then YOU CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTION...you'll be blocked.
The contestant who's the first to get the payoff point wins a cash prize anywhere from $100 to $500. We'll play three rounds and then a 10 question sprint round and, after that, the two players with the highest scores will go on to the FINAL SHOWDOWN and the winner of that will go on to our GOLDEN DICE bonus game for a chance at $25,000.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, here's a special bonus for our players. If any one of them wins two payoffs points in a row, then, win or lose the entire game, they'll win a great prize.
Can you tell them, TOM?
Yes, it's a TRIP TO ALASKA worth $4,000.
(APPLAUSE)
Any questions?

I just noticed this....this is going to be an international game with the U.S., Poland and Spain playing against each other. All in good fun, of course. First, let's see what our first payoff point is.... (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND NUMBERS FLASHING)  8...and our first payoff cash bonus is.... (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND NUMBERS FLASHING)  $200...and now a one-point toss-up question for control of the category of the board. TOSS-UP QUESTION: What pop singer, a former member of the boy band Meunedo, has had hits with "She Bangs" and "Livin La Vida Loca"? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 63 Here are the results: SERGIO first MICHEAL second NELS third (BZZT) SERGIO, your answer? |

GERSHWIN is CORRECT!!!  NELS, you have control of the board and since you are two away from the payoff point, that means....  Only the first two categories are in play. Where to? |
