Buzz-code answer: 92 1st: DOUG (99) 2nd: BILL (16) [BUZZ-IN]Doug...? Doug: South Atlantic? Tony: The correct answer was The NORTH Atlantic Ocean. $100 goes to Bill. [DING]Bill, you have $200 and a decision. You have a 10 while Doug has 13. If you pass the card to him and his next card is an 8, he'll win the $5,000 Any 21 pot. What's your decision... do you want to keep the card or pass it to Doug? |

Bill is keeping the card. Let's see if he made the right decision. If Bill's next card is an Ace, he will win the $25,000 Blackjack Bonus. Jennifer, please reveal Bill's next card. Jennifer: I hope you win the 25 grand Bill. Your next card is... *slowly reveals card* ...an 8. [AUDIENCE GROANS, APPLAUSE]Tony: Both players will be going for the Blackjack Bonus in our next round. Bill, you now have an 18. Before I read the next question... you have two options-- Do you want to continue the round or freeze? |

[APPLAUSE] Bill has decided to freeze on his 18. Doug... you need a 6 to beat Bill's 18. An 8 would give you a 21 and $5,000. You must answer each and every question right in order to stay in the game. If at any event your answer is incorrect, Bill will win $500 and the first game of the match. Here's your next question... Nine, eleven, or infinity-- In "This is Spinal Tap", what number does Nigel's amp go up to?

Eleven is correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]300 for you, Doug. We're looking for an 8 for the $5,000 Any 21 pot. If your next card is at least a 9, game 1 would go to Bill and $500. Jennifer, please reveal Doug's next card. *Jennifer reveals card* Jennifer: It's a Jack. [BUZZER]Tony: Doug is busted... so that means Bill wins the first round and $500! [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]At the end of round 1, Bill McDee wins it with a cash total of $700. Doug has only $300. We'll get into round 2 momentarily... but first, I have a question to the folks watching us live. How would you like to become a millionaire? If the answer is yes, please listen to our announcer Jim for further details.
