Greetings, all. We're finally rolling with Episode 51 of The $40,000 Chain Reaction. Some notes are in order. \ First, bighornbattle returns with one epic win and $53,500. \ The usual waiting period is now in effect. \ Due to rule changes regarding consolation prizes in the real game show world, the runner-up in this episode, and following episodes, is assured of no less than $2500 (3OAM will catch up to this by Episode 6). \ In a related development, since the souped-up bonus link worked well in our 50th episode, we'll keep it in Episode 51 and beyond. $500 per letter is the bonus for the money link in Round 2. \ Please see www.DougMorris.net/chain for the rules rules. And now, let's play our qualifying question. The player closest to the right answer, high or low, challenges George. Before the show, one of our production assistants played Crossy Road for the iPad for thirty seconds. Our staff member played as the chicken from the original cast. How many points did the staffer score? Hint: The player's score is in two figures -- so please make sure your answer is higher than 9 and lower than 100. Please PM dougmorrisontheair (that's me) your answer.

(theme plays; audience applause)The game is -- The $40,000 Chain Reaction -- where one word leads to another -- and the right word could lead to a big payoff.(more applause) Helloooooo, everybody. I'm Doug Morris and welcome to The $40,000 Chain Reaction. On our last show, we celebrated our 50th episode. Our newly crowned champion took advantage of souped up bonuses throughout the show and racked up more than $50,000. Speaking of souped up bonuses, our $500 per letter bonus for the middle link in Round 2 will *stay* at $500. (audience cheers)And from this moment forward, runners up will go home with no less than $2500. (audience cheers)So with that, please make welcome our challenger, David Barkow, and our champion, George Custer, with $53,500. (audience cheers) David, welcome, please tell us about yourself.

*laughs* That's a good one sir. Well, I am a mahjong player for over 10 years, do word seeks, listen to news themes, watch game shows, sing, and listen to 80s music.
