Hello and welcome back. Now that we met our contestants, here's how we play THE BIG SHOWDOWN. The object is to answer questions in order to reach a specific payoff point which we'll reveal before the round begins. We'll show our contestants six categories worth 1 to 6 points and, just a reminder, those points don't determine the difficulty of the categories. Each question is a toss-up and the one who buzzes in first (gets closest to buzz code of 1 to 100) and gets it right will win those points. Now, stragedy is key here because YOU CANNOT GO OVER THE PAYOFF POINT, which means that if one of your opponents picks a category with a point score that, if you were to buzz-in and get it right would put you over the payoff point, then YOU CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. The contestant who's the first to get the payoff point wins a cash prize anywhere from $100 to $500. We'll play three rounds and then a 10 question sprint round and, after that, the two players with the highest scores will go on to the FINAL SHOWDOWN and the winner of that will go on to our GOLDEN DICE bonus game for a chance at $25,000. (APPLAUSE) Our first payoff point is..... (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND NUMBERS FLASHING)  And the cash bonus for the one who gets it is..... (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND NUMBERS FLASHING)  $175....Now, I will ask a one-point tossup question for control of the category board. TOSS-UP QUESTION: What famous movie director directed "Star Wars"? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 31 Here are the results: BRYAN first KEVIN second RAYMOND third (BZZT) BRYAN, your answer? |

That is RIGHT!!!!!  BRYAN, you're still in control and since you are now five away from the payoff point, that means.....  Only the first five categories are in play. What's your pick, BRYAN? |
