Things are just about all set for episode 6.
At this time I would request for Kourtney and George to send to me via private message a total of 15 buzz codes.
I'm changing things up a bit. All buzz codes now are higher than 0 and lower than 251! In other words buzz codes will be from 1 to 250.
I look forward to presenting episode 6 to you all, and especially for our 2 players.
Best,
Bill

Frank Caliendo:  It's the card game where Ace is always high and Deuce is always low. Turn any two cards in the deck face up, then just try to fit a card in between that's neither higher nor lower. Welcome to the newest, high stakes card game on television. Welcome to… SPLIT DECISION! (Cheering & applause) With your host, the keeper of the cards… Bill McDee!  That's me! (Cheering & applause) I thank you one and all for that sitting ovation. Standing ovations worry me because I can't help but wonder if people are standing up to head out of the exits! Welcome into another episode of this very crazy card game of ours. We had a great many ups and downs during our first 5 episodes, so strap yourself in and buckle yourselves up for another crazy ride today! And here to help me to operate this ride is our lovely hostess, the dealer of the cards, Witney Carson!  Witney: Good morning Bill. Good morning everybody! On our last program, it looked like a championship reign was about to end, but the comeback kid overcame some tough cards and a very tough opponent, and he has come back to try for his 4th victory today. Having won $25,225 in cash, it's Kourtney Wilson! (cheering & applause)  Welcome back champ. Please remind the viewing audience again about yourself in 173 words or less. |

Well, I am a shift leader at a national sub sandwich chain. I love music just about all types, I also am a collector of cigar boxes, stationary, and cell phone cases. 😂 I also love games shows, old school tv and interior design shows.

I recall many years ago enjoying a show called "Trading Spaces" hosted by Paige Davis, and that was enjoyable to watch.
And as I attended an old school, I appreciate the kind comments about liking old school game shows! Good luck to you as you go for your 4th consecutive victory today.
Here to try to thwart you in that attempt is George Cluster!
(applause)
Welcome aboard George. Kindly tell the good folks about yourself please.

Well, I am 34 years old. I love to sing, play mahjong for over 10 years, and listen to 80s music. When I am not doing that I listen to news music themes (which Counterpoint is my favorite of them all if I had to pick 1.), watch current and classic game shows, and do word finds. I am so happy to be here.

Well we are pleased to have you here with us George! And part of our game involves word puzzles so doing those searches may come in handy for you here!
Kourtney, as you know we have 2 separate decks of 54 cards each.
As the champion, you get to choose which deck we'll play for game 1. Do you want the Red or the Blue?
And George, while Kourtney is selecting a deck, would you please provide to us a cut code? Any number higher than 0 but lower than 54.
I will explain that in addition to the 52 cards of the regular kind, we have added in 2 Insurance Cards, and they can prove quite valuable during match play.
If you are able to carry them over into the Pot Limit end game, they could prove even more valuable!
So Kourtney, please select Red or Blue, and George, please provide a cut number higher than 0 and lower than 54.

Very good, and George messaged me his cut code which was 24. Now onto game #1.  Remember players it's the first one of you who wins 3 hands that takes game 1 of this match, and gets to play our mini HALF & HALF bonus game for a possible $1,000. Remember also you win the hand either by keeping a card that fits your own split, or if your opponent receives a card that does NOT fit his split. And also, if either player wins this game 3 hands to 0, in addition to any money won, they will win the 3 Hand Blitz Jackpot. It starts at $250 and grows by $50 per game until won. Currently it is worth: (clang)  $350. Now I will press my magic button to determine the value of our first toss up puzzle and hand...  $75 and control of the cards will go to you if you buzz in first AND give me a correct answer to the puzzle. An incorrect answer or if time runs out before you give me your answer will mean control will automatically go to your opponent, but no money will be scored. The winner of the hand will get $225, and all money won regardless of the outcome of any game or the match, is yours to keep... Our first puzzle's answer starts with M, and contains 5 letters total. I want you to link the split of HAVE with MISSION  tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav Kourtney you are in first and have until 8:20pm EST on Saturday, June 24th to post your answer. |

Correct for $75! Now you are in control of the cards Kourtney and this is where the strategy will begin to unfold. Let's see the first card please Witney...  It is a 9. Kourtney do you wish to keep it, place it in the center as the common card that you and George will share, or pass it to George? |

Pass it to George.

The 9 goes to George. For the purpose of saving time, and this is unfortunate perhaps for you Kourtney...  The next 2 cards are both Kings! Only another King will win the hand for you Kourtney but if that happens, it's a $5,000 bonus. George's split isn't a whole lot better from a 9 to a King, just 5 cards will win for him, 8 will lose.  To determine who wins control over the fate of the NEXT card, which will no doubt prove pivotal, we will play a High Card toss up. 13 boxes on the board, we spelled out the names of the numbers to avoid confusion whenever cards are revealed. Kourtney, as you won the puzzle toss up you get to play this board first. I will ask you to select any two numbers, and select them in the order in which you would like them to be revealed. After we reveal the first card, you'll have the option to keep it for yourself or pass it to George and keep your second pick instead. If your first choice is either an Ace or a 2, you will win the toss up automatically. One small change we have made, hidden behind 2 of these boxes are Bonus Draw tokens for the Pot Limit end game. They are now hidden up there randomly and are no longer necessarily attached to the Ace or the 2. Kourtney, please select any two numbers and in the order in which you would want them revealed. |

Behind the Baker's Dozen we have...  A seven. Look at that new state-of-the-art gameboard folks! Let me tell you, we spare NO expense! Kourtney, as you can see, 7 cards would beat that 7, 5 would lose to it. You may pass that 7 off to George and see what card 4 has for you, or you can keep it and have George make a selection. How do you want to play it Kourtney? |

I will pass it.

Refusing the 7 and giving it to George, let's see what card you kept Kourtney... It is a...  KING!!! KING KING KING!!!!!!! You are surrounded by Kings Kourtney! Now you can keep the next card and hope that it is yet ANOTHER King, or you can pass to George and try to bust him, hoping that the card you give away won't fit his split. How do you want to play it? |

This comes as no surprise at all. George, if the card you receive is another 9, a ten, a Jack, a Queen or another King, you'll win the first hand and $225. If not the hand will belong to Kourtney. Witney please deal the card...  It's a 2, that's a bust, and Kourtney wins hand $1! (applause) (ding)   We're going to take a quick time out. We'll find out who wins this first game of Split Decision, right after these words of interest! |

(first few notes of theme) We have returned, and time for another puzzle. I press my magic button and this time $50 for the toss up and $200 to the winner of this next hand. I'm looking for an 8 letter word beginning with "K" that links together the split...  CAPTAIN and COURT tpirepguide.com/qwizx/gssfx/usa/be-buzzer.wav George you are in first this time and have until 6:10pm EST on Tuesday, June 27th to post your answer. |

Oh no I'm sorry George. You forgot it was an 8 letter word we needed. The answer we needed there was KANGAROO... No money awarded for that toss-up, and control goes to Kourtney as a result. First card this time Kourtney is...  An 8. Do you want it, place it in the middle, or pass it to George? |

The 8 belongs to George. Next card please...  Oh my! Kourtney, you have a real knack for getting those insurance markers! You can use them during match play if you are dealt a card that would bust you. And if you win the match and happen to hold onto it, that can benefit you in the Pot Limit round! Here's your marker and now the next card is...  A Deuce of Diamonds. Do you wish to keep that for yourself or place it in the center as the common card? |

Center.

Post by billmcdee on Jun 27, 2023 5:41:39 GMT -5
Interesting, that will give George a 2 to 8 split... And Koutney for you, your split is a 2 to a...  Oh my, 5! Probably wishing you could reverse those 2. But let's see how it plays out.  Time for another High Card toss up. Both Pot Limit Bonus Draw cards are still in the mix and incidentally, it is possible now for either player to snatch both of them off of this board in just one turn, as again, they are hidden at random now, not necessarily attached to the Ace or 2. Kourtney, please select two more boxes and in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed. |

Post by billmcdee on Jun 28, 2023 4:01:07 GMT -5
And 11 is...  An Ace! no need to do anything more here. Kourtney, only 4 cards will win for you but 7 will win for George. You do have one insurance marker so you'd get up to 2 chances. Do you wish to keep the card or pass it to try to bust George again? |
