(audience cheers as...) (Nels rolls)By the way, this is the fourth and final in the round -- and it's a big one. It's playable -- however, Nels, you may take the 5 and 6 in the middle row, since the other fives and sixes are gone and blocked -- or you may play the sum of the numbers and take the only 11, which is in the top row. |

Okay, we'll leave the board as it is. Kevin, you're back in the game. Nels is ready to buzz in. So let's bring in the next name game. (FF reveal sfx)And it's an eight-letter answer to this question. What fictional character, this is a work of fiction we're dealing with this time,... What fictional character got on a roll -- as Edgar Bergen's puppet? (ding)
(Nels and Kevin, please PM me your buzz code from 1-100 and your answer.)

(inaudible reaction from judge) Oh -- great -- another malware scan's on the horizon. Either that or someone from my old station's working chyron. (scattered laughter from crowd) There should be an H in the seventh position instead of a T. The correct answer is McCarthy -- as in Charlie McCarthy. Sorry, players, but we have to destroy this question and move on to a new one. (FF reveal sfx)And this new question's correct answer has seven letters. Here's that new question. Who got on a roll -- thanks in part to a wild bus ride in the movie "Speed"? (ding)

19 random.org(Nels buzzes in)Nels? Nels: Bullock (dings; audience applause)Sandra Bullock. That's it. Okay, Nels, please step back into the box. Four dice rolls are yours. You're back -- on a roll. (audience cheers as...) (Nels rolls)And it's a 6 and a 4. Normally I'd say, "A 6 and a 4 or a 10." Nels, here's the thing. All the sixes are gone, so you're a little limited. You may take a 4 -- or still play the sum and take a 10.

(buzz buzz)No guess in time -- but you're still rolling. (audience cheers as...) (Nels rolls)And you get a 1 and a 6. All sixes are gone. But you may take a 1 at the top or middle. Or you may play the sum of the numbers you rolled -- and take the 7 at the middle or bottom.

(dings; audience applause)That's it. Now, Nels, with that word revealed, and some parts of the other clues exposed, you have a chance to solve the puzzle. Solve it here and you earn an extra hint in Big 6.

And it's a W. Now, even though we're out of rolls, you're still entitled to a guess of that middle row's clue.

(TPiR Pathfinder wrong move sfx) No -- that's not it. Certainly fits and worth a try. Okay, let's get ready for a new name game. (FF reveal sfx)And it's a big eleven-letter answer -- to this question. Who got on a roll -- in the "Police Academy" movies? (ding)

Anyone in the audience know? (a few shout "Easterbrook") (ding)Yes -- Leslie Easterbrook. Still looking for a name game winner. Let's try this one. (FF reveal sfx)And it's a seven-letter answer for this question. Who got on a roll -- after winning his first U.S. Senate election for the state of New York in 1999? (ding)

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Obviously, we have a tie for distance. Rules say the player who PMed me sooner takes the tie-breaker edge. Nels PMed first. So...](Nels buzzes in)Nels? Nels: Schumer (dings; audience applause)Chuck Schumer is right. Okay, Nels, you're back in charge. Four rolls of the dice are yours. You -- are on a roll. (audience cheers as...) (Nels rolls)And it's a 5 and a 6 -- or an 11. All the fives and sixes are gone and blocked. Fortunately, there's an 11 at the top row. So, Havana, if you will. (Havana touches screen)It's an E -- and with that, we're now in play-or-pass mode. This means at least one roll beyond doubles cannot be made. When that happens, we treat the roll as if it were a double -- meaning your opponent's suddenly on a roll and takes a free letter. Nels, with that, you're still in control with these options: You may guess the top clue, roll again, or pass the dice to Kevin.

All right. Players, please trade places. Kevin, you're in the box now. Nels has a hunch the dice are going to go cold. Let's see what happens. (audience cheers as...) (Kevin rolls)It's -- playable -- but barely -- 3 and a 2 or a 5. The fives are gone and blocked -- so you can't play the sum. The three are gone. Which 2 would you like, Kevin?
