That's the one!  The Bandito is hopping around and now has found a hiding place for himself. If he's in this first window Nels, control goes back to Matt. Let's see!  $400! A nice start. Bank it or gamble Nels? |

Okay, if the Bandit shows up now, the $400 will be his... (reveal)  $300! Now you have $700 at risk Nels and one more position that you can move across the arch, if you wish. Bank the $700 or gamble? |

Once more, trying to avoid that bandit for the third time... (reveal sound effect)  You called it! You said "Big Money" and $750 is the top dollar value along the arches. Nels, that's $1,450 in cold hard cash. Now you can bank it, the game would be tied up, but Matt would get control back, or you can put that $1,450 at risk and play another question, knowing if the Bandit strikes, that money will be gone. Bank it or risk it Nels? |

He's going to bank! (applause) And I can't blame you one bit!  $1,450 is now yours, no matter what happens in the game. Of course whenever one player banks, they forfeit control back to their opponent, so Matt we're coming back up to you. And I don't have to be a podiatrist to observe that right now we have a flat-footed tie game! Let's see who will break that tie. Matt, here's your next category and set of answers... (Tic Tac Dough category reveal)  U.S. States, and we have Nebraska, Washington, Minnesota, Georgia and Colorado. Matt, do you want to go for 1, 2 or 3 questions this time? |

You got it! (applause)  Okay Matt, that Bandit has found a new hiding spot among those last 5 monitors. Let's hope he's not lurking in this first one... (reveal sound effect)  $300. You can bank that or gamble Matt? You have one more position that you may move across the arch if you wish to. What's your decision? |

Risking $300 and control... (reveal sound effect)  Ut oh! That bandit finally reared his ugly head. Matt, you did move 2 positions across the arch, however, you lose that unbanked $300 and control...  Okay Nels, got a little catching up to do across the arches there. New category coming up...  ISLANDS is the category, and the list of answers includes: HAWAII, GILLIGAN'S, CONEY, RHODE and EASTER. One, two or three questions Nels? |

Right! (bandit shuffling)  You can move as many as 3 positions across the arch, unless the Bandit pops up... First monitor is...  $250. You can bank that or gamble? Right now you trail Matt by one position on the arch. |

(Updated front game board inspired by Justin Rhea, who had requested to appear in episode #1 and it totally slipped my foggy mind! I have his name tag all set up for episode #2. Meantime...)  Nels has one more move he can take if he chooses to, or he can stop and bank that $600 if he fears the Bandit lurks in the next window, but in doing so, would give control of the game back to his opponent Matt. |

Nels doesn't want to see a Bandit in this next window... (reveal sound effect)  $450 more! Now you have $1,050 at stake if you go again, or you can bank it. If you do decide to gamble, your next category would require only one question. Risk or bank Nels? |
