Hoping for a miracle here. Next card, lower!

[K ♣][8 ♠][J ♥][C*S][C*S] No, a Jack. *buzzer* Immanuel has won the round! *'86 CS Win Cue* Another $500 coming your way. Mike, you're on the bubble as we reset for Round 2.

[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] We begin with this high-low question. 100 sportswriters were asked this question:
"Are Major League Baseball's attempt to improve pace of play helping the sport or hurting it?"
How many sportswriters said the attempts are hurting the sport, Mike?

Makes sense since we’re nearing the start of the MLB season.
I do think that the sport has been getting a bit worse than what it was before.
With that being said, I’m gonna say that the number of sportswriters is gonna be around 40.

What say you, Immanuel? |

I've seen the way the clock is implemented in the game, and I think the majority would agree with me that traditionalism is better. Also from what I could tell, the new pacing method hasn't been well received by the fans. So with that I say it's gonna be a bit higher

A bit higher. [HI][__][40] *ding*
Actual number of sportswriters who said that MLB's attempts to improve pace of play are hurting the sport is... [HI][55][40] *dingdingding* 55. It was higher, and not by much. We'll see what happens with that pitch clock now, since it has been tested in the minors. IMMANUEL

Already in a great spot to win this game. You'll have to win another high-low question before you can change your seven. We do that with our second polling group question. Will the ten bartenders please stand up? Thank you very much. We asked these ten bartenders another question...
"Have you ever stopped in the middle of work to watch a sports game?"
Immanuel, how many said yes they have?

Oh of course. I can definitely see the bartender pouring a drink and missing a cup because LeBron scored a dunk! I say it's common: let's do 81

Lower you say. [ 7][__][LO] *ding* Actual number of these bartenders who have stopped what they were doing to watch a sports game on the job is... [ 7][ 6][LO] *dingdingding* Six of them! Mike, you were right, it was lower by one. Now, you six bar potatoes, please raise your hands. *six bartenders raise their hands* I'll talk to the guy in the polo. Were you watching LeBron? Bartender: No. Aaron Judge. Me: I take it, you were working when he it #62? Bartender: Actually, I was off when he did. We thought he'd do it earlier. The manager couldn't keep his eyes off the TV either. Me: With good reason. Thank you all for your participation. We have a gift backstage waiting for you. ———————————————|IMMANUEL

[A.♣][2 ♦][8 ♥][C*S][C*S] Two away form tying things up, but you have an eight to contend with for now. Next high-low question is as follows. We surveyed 100 women:
"If a construction worker whistled at you, would you confront him or ignore it?"
Mike, how many women would confront the construction worker?

Ooh boy, that's a hard question.
Nowadays, these women don't want to be harassed at all, and that especially goes for people in the working business.
I'm gonna say about 45 women would confront the construction worker.
