(audience cheers and applauds) A Reveal or Conceal! Very good time to use that.

So just like before, we show you what's behind a random panel, and you tell us whether you want to show what's behind it or leave it hidden. You don't have to pick that number when you go to the board.

Sending over the panel number and the contents...hang on.

GEORGE		|	SHEDERICK
CURSED!			REVEAL/CONCEAL?
$3,000	2		$6,750	3

Okay, you see it. Are you revealing it or concealing it?

[djshadowwolf420]

Conceal it

[GSLurker]

Concealing it? Alright then. Not that it matters at this point because it's still your turn and you have the best idea of what number to choose.

What's it gonna be--six or thirteen?

[djshadowwolf420]

6

[GSLurker]

I think it's academic now, so let's reveal both of the remaining panels, starting with number nine...

○ • ○ IMPLODING KITTEN • ○ •

...that's the Imploding Kitten. Then your choice of number six...

! @ ! @ ! ARMAGEDDON x X x X x

...that's Armageddon, which clears the board and brings up to the final phase of our game. But before that, let's give you that two thou bonus for clearing the board...

GEORGE		|	SHEDERICK
CURSED!
$3,000	2		$8,750	3

(Audience cheers and applauds.)

...And you're at almost nine G's right now. So let's get right into this Armageddon minigame.

Shederick, since you started Armageddon, we're going to show you our two Armageddon cards, marked A and B. You're going to peek behind them and see that one card has GODCAT behind it while the other one has DEVILCAT behind it.

! @ ! @ ! GODCAT @ ! @ ! @

X x X x X DEVILCAT x X x X x

You're going to keep one of those cards in front of you--but not in your hand--while you give the other one to George. George, you will choose whether you want to reveal the card in front of you or in front of Shederick.

If you uncover the GODCAT, you'll get the GODCAT card for your hand while Shederick explodes unless they use a Defuse. However, if you unveil the DEVILCAT, Shederick gets the GODCAT card while you explode unless you use a Defuse.

Shederick, here come the Armageddon cards.

A

B

Now peek under them and tell me which one you want to keep and which one you want to give to George.

[djshadowwolf420]

I'll keep B and give away A

[GSLurker]

We got them where you want them.

ARMAGEDDON
GEORGE	SHEDERICK
A	B

George, Shederick has given you A. You can turn over that card, hoping it's the GODCAT, but if you think you have the DEVILCAT, you can turn over B instead. Which card are you choosing?

[bighornbattle]

I am sticking with the card Shedrick gave me.

[GSLurker]

(audience applauds) He's keeping A. Let's see right now--did you find the GodCat...or did you find the DevilCat?




































































































































...You got...

ARMAGEDDON
GEORGE	SHEDERICK
X x X x X DEVILCAT x X x X x	B

...the DevilCat! (audience awws and groans.) We'll talk about that in a moment. As for you, Shederick, things have really been going your way today. Let's show you have the GodCat under B...

ARMAGEDDON
GEORGE	SHEDERICK
X x X x X DEVILCAT x X x X x	! @ ! @ !  GODCAT   @ ! @ ! @

...and that's yours now. (cheers and applause) The GodCat is a very special card--it can be played as any card except a Nope or a Super Nope. Also, if you manage to keep it and win the game, you'll have a huge advantage on the Catwalk. So use it wisely in this final phase of our game.

GEORGE		|	SHEDERICK
CURSED/DANGER!			GOT GODCAT!
$3,000	2		$8,750	4

So, uh, George...what's good? You have just two cards left, and you're still Cursed. What's worse is now that you have to deal with the DevilCat. Since the DevilCat acts as an Exploding Kitten, so you must Defuse it, and currently, you're able to do that. However, since you're Cursed, you must find it first.

We're now going to shuffle your hand with the cards down. Each card will be numbered--you must choose the number that you think has the Defuse card. If you find it, the curse is lifted, and you get back control of your hand with all cards face up to you. If you don't, you must pick again, but since you only have two cards, the Defuse card will be chosen automatically.

Let's bring your hand up...

GEORGE
1	2

One of those is your Defuse Card--the other is not. Which number?

[bighornbattle]

Since this is my first time playing #1.

[GSLurker]

Let's see if that rationale works. To get control of his hand back, is number one the Defuse?

GEORGE
[DF]	2

He got it! (audience cheers and applause) We take the curse off, and that saves you one card. You never know--it might help.

GEORGE		|	SHEDERICK
$3,000	1		$8,750	4

So...with allllllllllllllllllllllll of that other stuff out of the way, we can focus on our endgame. The objective is simple--outlast your opponent. Obviously with the board out of play, there is no Passing. Since the Imploding Kitten was the last panel on the board, we're playing under Imploding Kitten rules--all Defuse cards are ineffective. However, should you be the winner and hold one or more Defuse cards, we'll pay you a thousand dollars for each one in your hand.

We'll play until one of you cannot avoid an implosion, at which point your opponent wins the game, and they'll be going to the Catwalk to play for $25,000.

Now let's see how things look cards wise...

E N D G A M E
SHEDERICK	[? ?]	[? ?]	[? ?]	[? ?]
GEORGE	[? ?]

George, you have just one card while Shederick, you have four cards and you'll be starting first. What will you Play?

[djshadowwolf420]

[SK]

[GSLurker]

Let's get the Skip up....

E N D G A M E
SHEDERICK	[? ?]	[SK]	[? ?]	[? ?]
GEORGE	[? ?]

George, you must give me a Skip, Reverse, or Any Attack card to stay alive. Anything else, you'll implode, and Shederick wins the game.



(audience groans and awws) ...But that sound means you don't have any usable cards, so Shederick, you're the winner!

GEORGE		>	SHEDERICK
			WINNER!
$3,000			$8,750	3

(audience applauds and cheers)

We'll talk to you more in a second, but first....George. It got really tough for you at the end. The Curse, the DevilCat...not the best way to go out. You played a fine game, though--nothing to be ashamed of. Let's see what your last card was...

E N D G A M E
SHEDERICK	[? ?]	[? ?]	[? ?]
GEORGE	[NO]

...A Nope card. You might have had something if you had another card with you. Sadly, it wasn't there, so you're about to implode. Still, we'd like to hear some final words from you before you go.

[bighornbattle]

I will be back to try again. Congrats Shedrick.

[GSLurker]

We appreciate that--hopefully we'll be around for awhile and we'll see you again. Until then, you have our thanks for being here as well as one thousand dollars as a consolation. A round of applause for Kevin, everyone.

(cheers and applause as Kevin leaves...)

GEORGE		>	SHEDERICK
IMPLODED!			WINNER!
$1,000			$8,750	3

So...Shederick. We have a lot to discuss right now as we see the rest of your hand. Look at this...

E N D G A M E
SHEDERICK	[DF]	[DF]	[GDC]

(audience oohs and cheers)

First, you got those two Defuse cards...we cash them in for a thousand dollars each...giving you a total for today--so far--of...

GEORGE		>	SHEDERICK
IMPLODED!			WINNER!
$1,000			$10,750

...$10,750! (loud cheers as audience applauds) You haven't reached the bonus round and you're already in five digits!

How does it feel to rack up ten stacks like that?

[djshadowwolf420]

I feel like I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth! (Virtually)

[GSLurker]

True that--you were most def cooking today. And I was saying you haven't reached the bonus round yet...you still have your GodCat, so you'll have a big advantage when you get to the Catwalk. Could go a long way to helping you win. (cheers and applause)

Watch Shederick take his chance at the big money when we come back with the exciting conclusion of Exploding Kittens!

(cheers and applause continue as the camera does a zoom in on Shederick before zooming out from him to the middle of the stage floor, where the Catwalk will be placed once the show resumes.)

SHEDERICK
WINNER!
$10,750

[GSLurker]

We'll return to action on August 12th!

[GSLurker]

(Audience is cheering and applauding as camera fades in and zooms to center stage, zooming in on Tyrone and Shederick, standing on the stage on right side of a strip of a video floor.)

Hey, y'all! Welcome back to Exploding Kittens, where I'm here with Shederick. He was able to beat by his opponents in our main game, and earned himself an impressive $10,750 in cash!

(Audience cheers and applause)

Shederick, you played pretty darn well. Played that Reveal or Conceal card right on time, then you got the GodCat at the last possible moment...and the money just never stopped coming your way. If that all carries over to this round, you're only gonna get richer. Would you like to know how you can get some more cash?

[djshadowwolf420]

Yes!

[GSLurker]

Oh, I so glad you asked. (light laughter)

Now right now, we're standing on the Start space of the Catwalk...

C A T W A L K
⇓ START ⇑	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	WIN

...and in just ten steps, you could win $25,000. But you'll have to tread carefully, 'cause there be Kittens. The first three steps on the Catwalk are completely safe. The other six are risky--there will be one Kitten under either step four, five or six--and another two Kittens under steps seven, eight, or nine. In a moment, you're going to try to cover as many as you can with the three Passes we're going to give you.

Of course, since you kept the GodCat from the main game, you actually get to see the location of one of those Kittens. Let's reveal it for you...

C A T W A L K
⇓ START ⇑	1	2	3	4	5	K   I    T     T      E       N	7	8	9	WIN

...Under number six. And we'll automatically cover that one for you as well. So, you'll have two passes left to try to cover the remaining Kittens. Remember that there is one under steps four to six and two under seven to nine.

C A T W A L K
⇓ START ⇑	1	2	3	4	5	P    A     S      S	7	8	9	WIN

After you've placed them, I'd like you to then choose between these two categories to get started.

COASTAL ATTRACTIONS

or

KOOL-AID

So, tell me which spaces your Passes are to be placed, then your choice of category.

[djshadowwolf420]

8 and 9 category Kool aid

[GSLurker]

Alright--first, let's place those Passes now for Shederick.

C A T W A L K
⇓ START ⇑	1	2	3	4	5	P    A     S      S	7	P    A     S      S	P    A     S      S	WIN
LIVES LEFT →			9				7	← LIVES NEEDED

Now let's get to how you'll advance down the Catwalk. You'll have nine lives to make it to the Win space. Every time I read a question, it uses one life. Answer the question correctly and you'll move forward one space and earn $500. If you land on one of your Passes, you'll move another space forward and earn another $500. However, if you land on an uncovered kitten, you waste one life. As long as your remaining lives are at or above the lives required to win, you're still alive, and if you make it all the way, you get our grand prize of twenty-five thoooooooooooooooooooooousand dollars!

(audience cheers and applauds)

You've chosen Kool-Aid as your first category. Every question in this category will have one of the same two answers. Once you answer three correctly, you'll choose a new category. So if everyone is ready, let's start the Catwalk!

(audience cheers and applauds)

So for this category, I'm going to give you a name of a flavor. We want you to tell us whether that flavor is a current flavor of Kool-Aid being sold, or it's a discontinued or nonexistent flavor.

KOOL-AID
CURRENT FLAVORS OF KOOL-AID
KOOL							FOOL
S	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	W	9 / 7

So we want you to say "Kool" for any current flavor of Kool-Aid, or "Fool" for any discontinued or nonexistent flavor.

Got it?

[djshadowwolf420]

OH YEAAAAH!!!!

[GSLurker]

Great to hear! Let's see the first one...

KOOL-AID
STARBERRY LEMONADE
KOOL							FOOL
S	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	W	9 / 7

"Starberry Lemonade"--Kool or Fool, Shederick?

[djshadowwolf420]

Do you mean strawberry lemonade?

[GSLurker]

No, this one is *Starberry* Lemonade.

[djshadowwolf420]

Oh, then fool!

[GSLurker]

That's correct! (audience applauds) Move yourself forward to the 1 space, please.

You now have $500 and eight lives left. Next one...

It's "Watermelon." Kool or Fool?
