Hello and welcome back to THE BIG SHOWDOWN. We are here with KEVIN and BILL at the FINAL SHOWDOWN round and, of course, the one who wins this will be our champion and will go on to our GOLDEN DICE bonus game for a possible $25,000 in cash. (APPLAUSE) I also want to point out that since no one got two payoff points in a row on this episode, then we will add another prize to that bonus on our next show. Before we go on, however, let's do some accounting. KEVIN, you hit the payoff point once during the SPRINT ROUND so that $100; plus you gained 15 points during the SPRINT ROUND and, at $25 per point, that's $375 more for a total of $675. BILL, you gained 11 points during the SPRINT ROUND and, at $25 per point, that's $275 more for a total of $1,000.  Here's how the FINAL SHOWDOWN works: The Payoff Point is 7 and we play it the way we have been playing it, but this time, every time a question is asked the categories will change and all twelve categories from all four rounds are to be played. The one who gets seven points wins the game, becomes the champ and will go on to the GOLDEN DICE bonus round for a chance at $25,000 in cash. (OOHS AND AWWS) Our Final Showdown cash bonus can be anywhere from $500 to $1,000. First off, let's see what our payoff cash bonus will be: (ELECTRONIC NOISES AND NUMBERS FLASHING)  $850. KEVIN, since you were in the lead after the SPRINT ROUND was over, you get to pick the first category. We now have......  SPORTS TERMS, THE DANCE and PEOPLE. What's your pick? |

I feel like doing the Lindy Hop! Very grateful and excited to be sure!
I had really strong competition and this final 7 to 2 score is in no way representative of how excellent a player Kevin is!

I couldn't agree with you more, BILL. This has been an exciting episode.
I'll be with you in just a minute.
KEVIN, what can I say, you did the best you can with this FINAL SHOWDOWN but BILL was a little faster on the buzzer.
However, you are definitely not leaving us empty handed. You won $675 today and when we add that to what you have won as champ you are leaving with a total of.
$28,050
A big round of applause please for KEVIN everyone.

In that case, come with me to the top of the dice table. (DICE TABLE COMES UP AND TOTEBOARD COMES DOWN)  Our lovely assistant will be giving you dice that will have the numbers 1 to 5 and the words SHOW and DOWN. You roll these golden dice and if you roll SHOW DOWN on those dice, you'll win $25,000. I wish you the best, BILL. If you don't get SHOWDOWN, then whatever number you get is also important. Pick a number from 1 to 20. |
