That got it!
(win cue)
Oh Immanuel! That was a heart-breaking loss, and I'll explain to David and the viewers as to why.
(theme playing)
Immanuel ended up with a 5 second penalty on the word "UMPIRES". He rang in relatively soon thinking the answer was "MOMMIES" which actually made perfect sense.
Had it not been for that, Immanuel might have won this sprint round. And may I just say this is hardly the first time that Umpires have cost somebody the game!
Immanuel, you did very very well however, and have $2,675 in winnings to show for it! Please give a very nice round of applause to Immanuel Tims!
Well David, you've won your second consecutive Scrabble Sprint and when we come back, you'll be going for the really big money, possibly as much as $20,000.
The Bonus Tiles end game when we return!

(theme music to fade in) We are back with our TWO time Scrabble Sprint champion David Barkow. David, that sprint netted you another $2,175, and your grand total at the moment is at $11,750, and you'll get to come back on our next show to go for your third consecutive sprint win. Right now you'll have a chance to increase your winnings by as much as $20,000. First we have to establish what your base jackpot amount is going to be with our Bonus Tiles end game.  David, please select one of the four numbered tiles from the left group, one of the ten numbered tiles from the center and finally please also select one of the four numbered tiles on the right. If the tile you select from the left side is a "10", that means your base jackpot will be $10,000. If it's a 7, 8 or 9, then the other tiles from the center and right will make up your base jackpot total. If you have no questions David, please select your tiles, remember one from the left, one from the center and one from the right. |

Nice and sequential!  You're playing for $8,525 here in the Bonus Tiles end game David, and here's how it will work.  Hidden behind four of these ten tiles are stoppers. You want to avoid them at all cost. Three stoppers will end the game for you and cause you to not win the $8,525 jackpot. Hidden behind five of the other tiles are point values ranging from 1 up to 5. Each time you find one, you'll win money for doing so. The amount will be determined at random before you make your first choice. Right now one tile says "DOUBLE YOUR MONEY". If you uncover that before you uncover a stopper, you will be playing for double the money. Should you however hit a stopper before you uncover the "DOUBLE" card, the Double Your Money card will be taken out of play. Any money you get into your pot is yours to keep no matter what, but if you can reach 10 points or more before you uncover your third stopper, you will win another $8,525. If you are ready David, please select any tile you wish. If you select one of the two "S" tiles, please tell me if you want the one with the pink or the blue background, and good luck! |
