30 on the Red for a match? (flip) (gasps & groans)..... In the game of golf, that's called a "Bogey". One last shot in the 30 column, 50:50 chance of picking Marilyn. Green or Blue Nels?

30 on the Blue for a match? And if it isn't, Kourtney will win the board and $250 by default... (flip) There it is!!! (applause) Nels, filling in for our champion John Bergman just scored another board and another $250 for him...well done Nels! John leads one board to zero in game 2 of this best 2 out of 3 match. Kourtney's not had a chance at the board yet due to John's ringing in so quickly so often, but we'll see if that's about to change... Meanwhile, Kourtney still has $475 no matter what, and John, thanks in part to Nels, is up to $4,300 in cash and prizes so far today. Instant Match Jackpot currently is at $800, and we start again with each player having 100 points in their pot, and going for a 30 point puzzle... The correct answer starts with an "N" this time players... BLANK Land BLANK Forget BLANK Before (ding) Kourtney is first this time. Kourtney you have until Wednesday, September 4th at noon eastern time to reply. I am extending the deadline in light of the fact that it is Labor Day weekend here in the U.S. Of course if you can reply sooner, that would be great. As always, please provide both your answer and also if you wish to go to the matching board or play a 40 point puzzle.

Never is correct for 30 points. John (Nels) 100 points, Kourtney 130...next puzzle for 40 points... 40 point puzzle coming up players... BLANK Alps BLANK Cheese BLANK Army Knife (ding) It is John/Nels who has rung in first this time. You have until Tuesday, September 3rd at 3:30pm EST to post your answer as well as if you want to go to the board, or play the 50 point puzzle.

Swiss is correct for 40 points and $50... (applause) And Kourtney, we credited your score with $50 for getting that first puzzle right, apologies for that oversight earlier. Now for another $50 and 50 big points, here's the next puzzle. Remember only 2 blanks this time. BLANK Iron Cone Belgian BLANK (ding) Kourtney, for another $50 and a total of 180 points, please provide your answer and also let me know if you want to go to the board or try the 60 point puzzle no later than Tuesday, September 3rd at 4:25pm EST.

I just want to apologize for missing a couple of the days of the game.....I've been busy with work and with Labor Day.
Also, a big thanks for Nels for taking over.

Waffle is the answer and I would like to take 60 point question please.

(gasps) Well audience, with 180, six boxes is the most he could have selected, unless he uncovered the "One Free Box" card which isn't easy to do...trying for more points... Here's our 60 point puzzle players, this time only one blank... Red BLANK Kennedy Bud (ding) However it is John who rang in first this time. John has until Wednesday, September 4th at 12:20pm EST to give his answer and to tell me if he wants to do the 70 point puzzle or take a shot at the matching board.

A rose by any other name... Right for 50 dollars and 60 big points John! Two very good players, but John definitely has had the advantage today when it comes to being speedy on that signalling in button for sure... A few reminders John, if you make a match, you will win this game and your second match. If you make an instant match, you'll win $800. If you make a match in 5 boxes or less, you'll also win the treadmill. Remember too the "One Free Box" card is in play but only for the first three picks, and as always, be leery of that "No Match" card. John, off you go!

20 on the Blue... (Flip) An inauspicious start, but it's not how you start that matters, it's how you finish. Got that one out of the way at least. 180 points remaining. Still 2 more picks to find that one free box card which would offset that No Match card John. Where to next?

(Quite alright ) 30 on the Red... (flip) Sailor cap. This board is devoted to hats. 150 points left to spend John.

(my apologies, I could swear I posted this yesterday)... Straw hat there. No chance at the One Free Box card, but still a chance to win the treadmill. 110 points left, which box next John?

30 on the Green please gentlemen... (flip) (gasps & groans) The board has become a tad difficult. The treadmill can not be won, but the board still can be John. 80 points left to spend, which box now?

Let's see what is lurking there... (flip) Another sailor cap. We know there's one somewhere in the 40 column, you have 60 points left. Incidentally, we neglected to show that the dollar amount attached to John's first good pick, the 30 on the red, had the $275 money card attached to it, so that is the value of this board. Which box next John?

40 on the green.

If 40 on the green is a sailor cap John, you'll win the board, the game, and your second match. If it is a cowboy hat, you'll have 20 points left to spend in the first column to try to match it. If it is a top hat however, then the board and the $275 will go to Kourtney, and we'll have to play a tie-breaker board. 40 on the green? (flip) It IS a Top Hat, and Kourtney wins the board!!!! WOW! (applause) Kourtney you're still very much alive in this game and match, as we set up for the tie-breaking board here in game number 2... Just as before players, you'll volley back and forth bidding as to how few boxes you'll need to make 3 on a match. As soon as one of you bids 3 boxes only, we'll go to the board, or as soon as one of you challenges the other we'll go to the board. Kourtney, since you won that last board, even though it was by default, you get to start the bidding first.
