The All-New Tic Tac Dough (NBC/USA) - Episode 1 - Finished!

[mringgenberg]

Schilling

[samthebravesfan]

Yes!  Good job!

*ding, applause*

*whoooooooosh, bong*

With $1,500 in the pot, we shuffle.

*90 TTD shuffle chimes, 90 TTD stop dings*

You're up, Bill.

[billmcdee]

I'll try Faces, please.

[samthebravesfan]

Faces it is.  Take a look at this famous face, Bill.

*podium screen door opens*

This is the face of the woman who was the longest-serving Prime Minister in the 20th century in Great Britian.  Name her.

[billmcdee]

Margaret Thatcher

[samthebravesfan]

Yes, that's right!

*ding, applause*

*whoooooosh, bong*

$2,000 in the pot now and we have reached an interesting situation.  Matt, what's your pleasure?

[mringgenberg]

Seesaw to block

[samthebravesfan]

Our first red category, and it's a critical one.  If Matt gets it, he'll have a block.  But if Bill gets it, he'll have Tic Tac Dough, $6,000 in cash and become our first champion.

Here's how Seesaw is going to work.  I'm going to tell you a category which has many answers in it.  Then, starting with Matt, each of you will alternate giving me correct answers until one of you gives me an incorrect answer.  When that happens, his opponent will get the box.

The Seesaw category is: Home Run Feats

Through the 2023 season, thirty-one players in Major League Baseball history have had at least one season where they smacked at least 50 home runs.  Name as many of them as you can.

Matt, you'll start us off.

[mringgenberg]

Mark Mcgwire

[samthebravesfan]

Correct. His career high was 70. Bill?

[billmcdee]

Babe Ruth

[samthebravesfan]

Yes, his high was 60. Matt?

[mringgenberg]

Cal Ripkin Jr.

[samthebravesfan]

Cal Ripken, Jr. ...

is not on the list!  Bill, you win!!

*90 TTD win theme, cheers and applause*

*whoooooooosh, bong*

Don't think Cal hit forty home runs in a season.  A lot of choices left of course: Roger Maris, Sammy Sosa, Aaron Judge.  Matt Olson did it this past season.

But that's all behind us, now.  Congratulations, Bill McDee, you've won the match on The All-New Tic Tac Dough, have $6,000 and in just a few moments, you're going to play Beat the Dragon!

*applause*

Matt, you were a great contestant and you don't go away empty-handed.  With one game won, you have $2,500 and our thanks for being on The All-New The Tic Tac Dough!  Maybe we'll see you again someday!

*cheers and applause*

When we come back, Bill is going to try to Beat the Dragon and maybe win that Dragon's Jackpot for $100,000!  Don't change that channel!

*more applause, fade out*

[samthebravesfan]

*fade in, applause, Sam is standing with Bill beside the board*

Welcome back to The All-New Tic Tac Dough.  We're here with Bill McDee and he is ready to Beat The Dragon and he's won $6,500 so far today.  That is yours to keep no matter what happens in the bonus round.  But let's not waste any more time and get right into it!  Here's the game board:

Displayed is the Dragon's Jackpot and introducing once more... the Dragon.

*ROOOOOOOOOOAARRRRRR*

Yeesh, gives me the willies. However, the good news is you have someone to help you out! He's the Dragonslayer!



*HORN FANFARE*

I love that tune. *audience laughs*

*90 TTD shuffle chimes*

Now, we have our Xs and Os shuffling on the board along with the Dragon and Dragonslayer. When the board stops shuffling, there will be a Tic Tac Dough somewhere hidden on the board. We don't know if it's Xs or Os that will make it, but I guarantee you one is up there.

*90 TTD stop dings*

And now the board has been shuffled. The object of Beat The Dragon is to find that Tic Tac Dough or the Dragonslayer while avoiding the Dragon. You get $2,500 for each X or O you find on the board. Additionally, you're free to stop at any time. You can pick one box correctly and quit with $2,500 if you like. If you pick the Dragon, you lose all the money you've accumulated up to that point and he deposits it in the Dragon's Jackpot. But, if you find the Tic Tac Dough or the Dragonslayer while avoiding the Dragon, you will win $25,000!

However, this is the big goal: if you can find the Tic Tac Dough in three picks, OR if you can find the Dragonslayer on your first pick, you win the Dragon's Jackpot of $100,000!

*audience cheers*




Pick your first box, Bill.

*audience shouts out suggestions*

[billmcdee]

First I want to congratulate and thank Matt for a terrific match.

And as my answer of Babe Ruth helped me to win, I must start with the Babe's uniform #3.

[samthebravesfan]

All right, let's see what The Bambino's number gets you.  Show us what's in box number three!

*bong*

It's an O! You have $2,500, and as I said: you can stop now if you want, or you can pick again.

*audience yells suggestions*

[billmcdee]

O I will continue.

In honor of the two games I won to reach this round, I'll try box 2 next please.

[samthebravesfan]

And in honor of those two games, let's look under box number two!  Do we have another O?

*bong*



*gasps in the audience*

We do!

*cheers follow*

This is the moment I've talked about at the start, Bill: you could very well be on the verge of winning the Dragon's Jackpot. Or maybe even winning the $25,000 because the Dragonslayer could be there. But... it could also be the Dragon, and you would lose your $5,000. Is it worth risking that money? You could still walk away and end up with $11,500. You're still our champion, you're coming back no matter what happens. What do you want to do, Bill?

*a lot in the audience are chanting "Go, go, go, go!" and a handful are making cutting or "play it safe" motions, telling Bill to stop.*

[billmcdee]

To be honest, had an X appeared there I was going to stop.

But with 2 O's lined up there, it's well worth the gamble, especially with $100,000 up for grabs.

I'd rather risk $5,000 and lose than to quit and be gut punched, so I will continue and will go with number 1 please.

[samthebravesfan]

*audience cheers and claps*

They think it's the right choice, Bill.  We'll see if you and they are all right here.  For Tic Tac Dough, and a potential Dragon's Jackpot win.... show us an O!

*bong*

*audience explodes in cheers and applause*

You did it, Bill!  You wan the Dragon's Jackpot on your first try!

$100,000

Let's see where everything else was up there!

Dragonslayer at number four and the Dragon at number eight!

[billmcdee]

Would you believe I almost started with 8 as that was Cal Ripken's uniform number?  Oh so glad I didn't!


Wow, thank you!!!!

[samthebravesfan]

You earned it, Bill!  You have a total of

$106,000

in cold-hard cash!

*cheers and applause*

And the best part: you return as our champion tomorrow! I hope you at home will return to see if Bill can defend his championship and win even more money! From all of us at The All-New Tic Tac Dough, I'm Sam Switzer. Bye for now!
