The pilot was a rousing success. Who'd like to play for a chance at $25,000? I'll need three contestants.

*intro music plays*
Good evening, everybody! Welcome back to Catch 21. We have three players back with us to try their Vegas-style gambling for the chance at $25,000. Also back with us is our card dealer, Charlene. Give it up for her!
*cheers and cat calls from male members of the audience*
How are you doing today?
Charlene: I'm doing great. Hey, Kev, what would you do with $25,000?
Me: Probably put it towards a new car.
Charlene: Was it you that pulled up in that '87 Oldsmobile?
Me: I don't want to talk about it.
*laughter*
Me: Let's meet the three players on our show. We have two Michaels and a Matt. In no particular order, tell us about yourselves.

Okay, thanks to the three of you and best of luck.
We have a great lined up where you're aiming to get the best blackjack hand without going over 21. Charlene will deal each of you a card and you get control of every card after that by answering questions. You can either keep the card she deals or force it on one of your opponents. Answering a question correctly is worth $100 and you get $500 for winning a round along with a power chip. Get a 21 and we give you two power chips and a prize. Charlene will now deal the cards in the order you signed up starting with Michael C.
[6♦]
Charlene: It's a six.
[MICHAEL C.][$0]
[_6__]|[6♦]
Me: All right, here's your first card, Michael K.
[J♠]
Charlene: It's a Jack!
[MICHAEL K.][$0]
[_10_]|[J♠]
Me: And finally, here is Matt's first card.
[K♣]
Charlene: It's a King!
[MATT][$0]
[_10_]|[K♣]
Me: Hands on your buzzers gentlemen. Here is your first question:
"What playing card is worth 13 points in a game of Hearts?"
BUZZ: 93
1st: Michael C. (42)
2nd: Matt (40)
3rd: Michael K. (34)
Michael C., your answer?

Correct! $100 for you...
[MICHAEL C.][$100]
[_6__]|[6♦]
You also have control of this first card. What is it, Charlene?
[7♣]
Charlene: It's a seven.
Me: Now, Michael, you can keep that card and give yourself thirteen or you can pass it to either of your opponents in which case, you'll make one of their hands worth seventeen. What do you want to do?

Giving that card to Matt...
[MATT][$0]
[_17_]|[K♣][7♣]
...who can't freeze because he didn't win control of the question. Speaking of which, here is the next question:
"Melanoma is a cancer that affects what part of the body?"
BUZZ: 45
1st: Michael C. (37)
2nd: Michael K. (12)
3rd: Matt (82)
Michael C. again.

Right you are! Another $100 for you...
[MICHAEL C.][$200]
[_6__]|[6♦]
Deal the next card, Charlene.
[7♥]
Charlene: It's another seven.
Me: Hmm...what do you want to do with this card, Michael C.?

Okay, and that means...
[MATT][$0]
[BUST]|[K♣][7♣][7♥]
Matt has gone broke. Don't worry, your game is not over. You still have another round to play. We'll finish this between the two Michaels so hands on your buzzers, please...
"What U.S. President was nicknamed 'His Accidency'?"
BUZZ: 20
1st: Michael C. (38)
2nd: Michael K. (56)

It's John Tyler! You have $300.
[MICHAEL C.][$300]
[_6__]|[6♦]
And again you have control of this card. Deal it, Charlene.
[J♣]
Charlene: It's a Jack.
Me: You have a decision to make. You can keep the Jack and perhaps freeze on sixteen or you can pass it to Michael K and give him twenty in which case he cannot freeze. What do you want to do?

Not liking any of these cards, huh? Michael K. gets this one...
[MICHAEL K.][$0]
[_20_]|[J♠][J♣]
He has 20 but he can only freeze if he answers this question. Here it comes...
"Farewell Andromeda is an album by what singer?"
BUZZ: 41
1st: Michael C. (36)
2nd: Michael K. (73)
Michael C.?

That is correct! You now have $400...
[MICHAEL C.][$400]

Charlene, deal the next card.
[4♦]
Charlene: It's a four.
Me: Okay, Michael C., I still have to ask. Keep the card or pass it?

Knew you would, that will bust your other opponent...
[MICHAEL K.][$0]
[BUST]|[J♠][J♣][4♦]
You didn't have to keep any cards but you won Round 1, Michael C.!
[MICHAEL C.][$900]
[_6__]|[6♦]
We're going to play Round 2 between Michael K. and Matt in a moment. We'll be right back!

Welcome back to Catch 21! We're all set to begin Round 2. Michael K. and Matt, the winner of this round will play against Michael C. for the right to play for $25,000. Let's take a look at the cards you will be working with. Charlene, deal Michael K.'s card.
[K♣]
Charlene: It's a King!
[MICHAEL K.][$0]
[_10_]|[K♣]
And now we'll take a look at Matt's card. What is it, Charlene?
[A♣]
Charlene: It's an Ace!
[MATT][$0]
[1/11]|[A♣]
Already we have an interesting round with those two cards. I think it's a safe bet that Michael C. won't ring in first this time.
*laughter*
Let's find out what happens with this first question of the round:
"In baseball scorekeeping, what position is given the number 4?"
BUZZ: 7
1st: Michael K. (24)
2nd: Matt (40)
Michael, your guess?

Post by larsonfan1 on Mar 27, 2015 14:29:30 GMT -5
Second Base?

|

Post by koopakid17 on Mar 27, 2015 19:06:47 GMT -5
Second base is correct! You're on the board.
[MICHAEL K.][$100]
[_10_]|[K♣]
More importantly, it gives you control of this card.
[2♠]
Charlene: It's a two.
Me: How about it, Michael?
