Nathan Diniz will take on Kevin Kolsen in episode #7.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, episode 7 will start on Saturday, January 3rd, 2015, probably in the afternoon.
For episode #7, regular questions (true/false, yes or no, multiple choice) plus the question type from episode 6 (A, B or Both?) will be used again. I have discovered that I'm not able to come up with enough material to continue only with the A, B or Both questions.
I am debating on trying a different method for players ringing in, but for now, buzz codes from 1-100 inclusive will still be used to determine who buzzed in first. When the time comes, I will request 25 buzz codes from each player via private message.
Nathan, I will do a coin toss. I will have you call heads or tails. Whoever wins the toss will be the player who will get to cut the cards for episode 7.
Thank you, and Happy New Year everybody!
Best,
Bill

Just minutes here on the East Coast before the big ball drops in Times Square. My thoughts are with my loved ones who are no longer here with me who I spent many years ringing in the new year with, as well as the venerable Dick Clark of course.
Nathan and Kevin, when you're able to, kindly "check in" and I'll provide you with further instructions once you both have done so.
Happy New Year to one and all!!!
Bill

Same to you Kevin. I'll allow until Monday, January 5th for Nathan to respond. If he doesn't by then, we'll get another challenger for you Kevin until Travis is able to return.

I will reach out to Nathan Diniz via p.m. to see if he's interested in participating here in episode 7 or if he wishes to wait until episode 8.

Still no word from Nathan. If I do not hear back from him either on this thread or in my P.M. box by noon tomorrow, I will need another challenger for Kevin.
Who would like to either challenge Kevin for this next match, or be on stand-by in case Nathan resurfaces?

I did in fact hear from Nathan, and he will participate in episode #7. Michael, please stand by for episode #8 After work today my son has a bowling match, then I'll have dinner. Not sure if I'll have time to P.M. you contestants with questions or buzzcode stuff today. If time permits while at the office I shall. That is if I even attend today's match, as I'm feeling somewhat ill today. I'll be in touch. Bill |

Great to be back again and ready to defend my title!
I'm an accountant born and raised on Long Island, New York. I graduated from St. John's a few years back and considering getting my master's. In my spare time, I like to read and write fan-fiction.

Any particular fan fiction? Based on novels like Harry Potter for example, or perhaps on television shows?

Well, I started out with Sonic but I couldn't really do anything with it. For the longest time, I did Mario work but only recently I started writing about Friendship is Magic.

So primarily based on video game characters. That's quite fascinating to be sure Good luck as you go for win number two tonight. Also going for HIS second win, our co-champion from episode #5 is back with us, Nathan, please re-remind us all about who you are, what you do, and anything else you'd like to share in 75 words or less |

Hello everyone! My name is Nathan Diniz, and I currently reside in Mobridge, SD with my wonderful step-brother Buddy and my Step-parents Bonnie & Bernie. I am in the process of getting some timing work done playing pinball in order for me to prepare for my trip back home which might be in late March, and there might be a possible trip to Seattle in June, and I plan to be gone for about a month for both trips.

Just last evening I saw a pinball machine at a bowling alley while watching my son bowl with my wife, Bonnie. So two neat coincidences. Another is at one time she lived there. Perhaps you'll earn some cash toward that trip today Nathan. Good luck to you. At this time, Lynn will break the seal on a brand new deck of 52 freshly CBS minted Gambit cards which were shuffled under the ever watchful CBS Standards and Practices eyeball. Nathan, since you were last here 2 shows ago, you will have the privilege of cutting the cards at this time. Please select a number higher than 0 but lower than 52, to represent how deeply into the deck you wish the cards to be cut. And while he is doing that, I will remind our players that the winner of the first game will win $50 per point, with a house minimum of $500, and will get to play our mini "Beat the Dealer" bonus game for another $2,500. Also, our Any 21 Jackpot was hit during the final game of last night's regular match, so the Any 21 Jackpot for this game is worth... (clang)  An additional $1,000, double that for any 2-card combination adding up to 21. Starting tonight something new too. The winner of game 1 and game 2 of our match will also receive a very nice prize. Frank, what prize is up for grabs here in game number one? Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): It's a recliner. (applause)  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): From the Harrison collection, a leather recliner featuring a modern minimalist silhouette to compliment any style of décor. Eight-hundred dollars! (applause) Very well, as soon as Nathan cuts the cards, we'll reveal the first card here in game #1. |

 Shooting for a 9 of Diamonds players... To earn control of that 9 and win $100 in cash, you must be the first to ring in with a correct answer. If your answer is wrong, your opponent must answer correctly to earn the $100 and control. ESPN A.M.
MIKE & MIKE or
SPORTS RISE
What is the title of ESPN morning radio’s program which is now in it’s 16th season that airs from 6am til 10am Eastern Standard Time every weekday?
 Kevin you rang in first. Kevin says "ESPN A.M." Bill - I'm sorry that is incorrect.  Nathan, which of the remaining 2 answers do you believe is right? |

That is correct for $100! (applause)  The 9 is yours to do with as you will. Do you wish to keep it or pass it to Kevin? |

(Audience applauds that decision)  Remember contestants, once you receive a card that puts your score above 11 and puts you in the lead, you will be given the choice at that time if you wish to freeze and protect your position, or risk going over by continuing to play on. If a contestant refuses to freeze, they will not have the option to do so again until they receive another card and if that card puts them back into the lead again. Next toss-up question, for $100 and control of the next card, which we do NOT reveal to you just yet... CHRIS CHRISTIE
WOODROW WILSON or
BOTH
New Jersey Governors.
 Kevin signaled first this time. Kevin's answer - "Both". Bill - That is Correct for $100 Kevin! (applause)  Kevin, you control the fate of the next card. Do you wish to keep it for yourself, or pass it to Nathan, hoping it might give him an undesirable total? |

Interesting gambit, passing the card... Lynn?  (gasps from the audience) Oh my, a big Queen!  That gives you a 19 Nathan. Do you wish to continue playing, or would you like to freeze? |

 A 19 is a very good score in this game. We'll see if Kevin can score a 20 or perhaps a 21 even. Kevin, in order to earn cards, you must come up with a correct answer each time. One incorrect answer, and Nathan will win game #1. Here we go... MICHAELANGELO
LEONARDO DA VINCI or
REMBRANT
Which world renowned artist painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
Kevin's answer "Michaelangelo". And that is right! (applause)  And Lynn, what is Kevin's first card please?   19 to 8, next question... OVER 60 or
UNDER 60
The sum total of the number of stars and the number of stripes on the current American Flag.
Kevin - Over 60.
Correct!
(applause)
 Next card Lynn...   8 and 6, 14. You need another 6 or a 7 to win. Anything higher than a 7 and Nathan wins game #1. Next question... HENRIETTA THE HIPPO LEO THE LION or BOTH Characters seen on the 1970s children’s program “The New Zoo Revue”. As this was a question you skipped originally Kevin, I will allow you until 12:00 noon EST tomorrow, Monday, January 12th, to give your answer. |
