================================================================================ *fade to logo, back to stage* [PROLOGUE THEME PLAYS, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jim Thornton: Celebrity Gambit now continues. Once again, here's Tony.[CHEERS, APPLAUSE CONTINUES]Tony: Thank you, Jim. Welcome back to Celebrity Gambit live from the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. After three rounds of play, Bill McDee, from "Whew!" here on CBS, has won 2 games and a total of $17,400 for the American Cancer Society. And Doug Morris, from "Spin-Off" also here on CBS, has won a game and a total of $15,600 for Habitat for Humanity. If Bill wins this round, he'll be playing with our home viewer at the Gambit Board. Right now, let's take a look at the big money board on my podium. [CLANG]The Any 21 pot is now at $8,000 and the Blackjack Bonus is now at $30,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jennifer will now reveal the first card as we begin round 4. Jenn...? Jennifer: We begin round 4 with a Jack. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Another great card. Remember... each correct answer is $200 and the player closer to 21 wins an additional $1,000. Here's this first question. Aquarius, Taurus, or Cancer-- If you were born on February 5, what is your sign?* You have 24 hous to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

Buzz-code answer: 59 1st: DOUG (99) 2nd: BILL (7) [BUZZ-IN]Doug...? Doug: Cancer? Tony: The correct answer is AQUARIUS. Bill scores 200 bucks. [DING]Bill... do you want the Jack or pass it to Doug? |

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]Bill... do you want me to close up "Whew!" for you? [LAUGHTER]Anyways, the Jack is now yours. If Bill's next card is an Ace, he'll win the match including the Blackjack Bonus of $30,000. Next question... Mayans, Aztecs, or Incas-- What group used the agricultural method of terracing in the Andes Mountains during the 15th century?

Buzz-code answer: 21 1st: BILL (50) 2nd: DOUG (55) [BUZZ-IN]Bill...? Bill: My answer - Incas. Tony: Your answer - correct. [APPLAUSE, DING]You now have have $17,800 and a very huge decision, Bill. Do you want to keep the card or pass it to Doug? |

Last time I listened to my gut I was wrong.
My gut's telling me one thing, therefore I am going to KEEP this next card.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And Bill is keeping his card. If that next card is an Ace, he'll win the $30,000 Blackjack Bonus and the match. Jennifer, please reveal Bill's next card. Jennifer: Bill, good luck to you. Your next card is... *slowly reveals card* ...a 4. [AUDIENCE GROANS][APPLAUSE]Tony: Too bad... but you now have a 14. Before I read the next question, you have a decision to make. Do you want to continue this round or freeze?

Post by billmcdee on Mar 20, 2020 3:51:11 GMT -5
I will freeze.

Post by tmann3x on Mar 20, 2020 18:15:18 GMT -5
[AUDIENCE GASPS][APPLAUSE]Bill is freezing on his 14. What a surprise... Doug-- you need at least a 15 to achieve a tie match. You still have a chance to win the $30,000 Blackjack Bonus. You must answer each question correctly to stay in the game. If at any moment that your answer is wrong, Bill will be playing for $10 million in the Gambit Board. Here's your next question. Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, or Oxygen-- Which of the following gases is produced from reacting magnesium with hydrochloric acid.

Nope. Because you will be rolling the dice for $250,000 coming up next. What do you think, Doug?

I'm thinking there'll be an appearance by Mrs. Wally -- also known as Mollie -- right?

That would be a spoiler alert, Doug. [AUDIENCE LAUGHS] Anyways, we'll find out if that rumor is true. Still ahead, we'll have a special performance by Taylor Swift. But first... I just want to say that all online and text messaging are officially closed. The winner will be announced at the end of this live presentation. [LAS VEGAS GAMBIT CLOSING THEME PLAYS]We'll return with our runner-up Doug as he plays the Gambit Galaxy for one-quarter of a mil following this commercial time out. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Jim: Celebrity Gambit. Sponsored by--Secret. Strong enough for him... but Ph balanced just for you.*fade to commercial* ============================================================== |

And speaking of "On A Roll"... we had witnessed the marriage of Wally and the Mobile Operational Love-able Likable Interactive Entertainer-- MOLLIE for short-- in our previous special.
A year later, they're still together including their newborn chip... HAL-9001.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
Ladies and gents... please welcome her back to the show-- MOLLIE!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
MOLLIE: Good evening, citizens. I am the Mobile Operational Love-able Likable Interactive Entertainer. Also known as MOLLIE. Citizen Tony... MOLLIE is not a person. MOLLIE is a thing.
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]
Tony: Sorry. Doug, how did they get a newborn child? Uh... never mind.
[MORE LAUGHS]
MOLLIE: Citizen Doug... are you ready to play the Gambit Galaxy?

MOLLIE, please upload the nine numbers. MOLLIE: As you wish, Citizen Tony. [BEEP-BEEP-BEEP]Tony: We have the nine numbers that you see on each of MOLLIE's monitor. Your job is to roll a dice and remove at least a number each time. For each number that you remove, we'll give you $5,000. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And if you remove all nine numbers, Doug... we'll give your charity $250,000! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]At any given moment that you roll a double, we'll give you an insurance marker that guarantees you a free roll in case if you roll a bad one. Good luck to you, Doug and to the Habitat for Humanity. Roll the dice. [DOUG ROLLS DICE]You have rolled a 7. Which of the numbers do you want to remove? |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]So long, 5... [DING]You now have $30,000 and an insurance marker. The good rolls are 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 11. Roll again... let's see a double five! [ROLLS DICE]Uh-oh... [AUDIENCE GROANS]I must take your last insurance marker, Doug. This could be your last chance to roll a 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, or 11 to stay in the game. Roll the dice. [ROLLS DICE][LOSING SYNTH, AUDIENCE GROANS][GROANING CONTINUES, BOOING]A 4 and the game is over. The good news is that your charity wins $30,000. How do you feel after earning an additional 30 grand for your charity, Doug?
