 That's a match! (applause) And how much was that worth?  $800 for that match, well done Nels!  George with one match, Nels with one match, Kevin none thus far, all three players have had one trip to the big board...  We'll take a time out and start another question and answer round...more of Three on a Match after these words of interest! |

Frank Caliendo (as Don Pardo): Any contestant who wins five matches in a row will drive home in this brand new car! (cheering)  All new for 2025, sit in the lap of luxury in this Cadillac CT5 4 door sedan, including tax and license this prize is worth... FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! And now once again, here's Bill McDee! (applause)  That's still me! Thank you Frank Caliendo, a magnificent announcer and impersonator! I myself do a mean Marcel Marceau. For those of you who don't remember him, he was a world famous mime, but enough about him... let's get back to the matter at hand. George has 1 match, Nels 1 match, Kevin none thus far, takes 3 matches to win the game and the right to play for up to $25,000 in our Bonus Bucks bonus game, but we cannot play that until we crown a champion. Nels, as you went to the board last, you will get to select our next category for this game. We now have...  SAY IT WITH FLOWERS still up there, new category is SHAPING UP, and FIVE LETTER NATIONS still remains as well. Nels, please select the next category. |

Right you are Kevin!  That was our closest question round thus far! Money spread around quite nicely but Kevin, by the most slender of margins you've earned another trip to the matching board.  Please select a row and a color Kevin to determine how many points you'll have to spend this time. |

(Just a note) Kevin & Nels, we'll keep continuing play until such time that it becomes George's turn to answer a question, as per his vacation thread.

Is that third Saturn lurking under 20 on the Green?  'Tis not, got a comet there Kevin. So here's the situation, you have 30 points left to spend and have one of two ways to play this. You might have a 1 in 3 chance of matching Saturn in the 20 point column. You might have a 50/50 chance of matching the Comet in the 30 point column. I only say "might have" because the NO MATCH card has not yet been revealed. So you have one of two ways to play this Kevin, this will be your last pick one way or the other. Where to? |

Looking for a comet at 30 on the Green...  There it is! (applause) Now a three way tie! How much money attached to that winning pick?  $650, well done Kevin!  And indeed a three way tie, all three players with one match each, on the way to being the first to three matches. And money totals right now, George has won $1,275, Nels $1,350 and Kevin now has $1,675. Any and all money won by all three players is theirs to keep, but the first to 3 matches will play the Bonus Bucks bonus board for a shot at up to $25,000 in cash!  And now introducing two immediate changes here... First, the three categories in play are now concealed by 1, 2 and 3. Kevin, you will get to select a number to reveal the next category to be played by you and your challengers. Second, we have a JACKPOT MATCH bonus card hidden up there some where. If that is found, the player who goes to the matching board could win an additional $500 or even $1,000 and I will explain how that works, if and when we get to that point. For now Kevin, please select 1, 2 or 3 to reveal the category to be played. |
