Very well, this next question is worth 70 points.  Insects question coming...all insects have a certain number of legs. How many? (ding)  Bryan you're in first this time. For 70 points, I will need your answer by 9:20pm EST on Thursday, July 25th. |

Oh no! (buzzer) Arachnids, such as spiders have 8 legs, insects have 6. Which means George and Chris will receive 35 points each.  However remember players you cannot go to the matching board unless you have at least 90 points AND have answered the last question correctly. We will move onto the final question in this category, 80 points the value of this one.  Generally speaking, which insect's bites have been known to cause malaria? (ding)  Chris you are in first this time and have until 7am EST on Friday, July 26th to post your answer. |

No, as spiders are arachnids and not insects.
The answer we were going for was mosquitoes...
Therefore 40 points goes to George, giving him 175, and Bryan now has 40 points thus far.
George, as you gave the last correct answer, you will get to select our next category.
(no visuals at this time)
Select 1, 2 or 3 please.

You have until 6:35pm EST on Friday, July 26th to post your answer. |

Correct George!
You now have 215 points. Do you want to go to the matching board or try for more points? 250 is the maximum amount you can take to the board.
How do you want to play it?

Oh my! Okay then. 50 point question coming up...  T.V. LOCALES is the category, and here's the question... During the 1980s, Don Johnson played a detective on a show called "______" Vice. (ding)  Bryan you're in first this time and have until 7:05pm EST on Friday, July 26th to post your answer. |

Correct Bryan.
You now have 90 points, technically enough points for a try at the matching board, but you'd only get to select a total of 3 boxes.
Do you want to try for the board or play on for more points Bryan?

Very good. For 60 points players in the category of TV LOCALES  The late, and most certainly great Betty White co-starred alongside Valerie Bertinelli in a program entitled "Hot In..." where? (ding)  George you rang in first, and although this is a 60 point question, if you get this right, you will only get 35 points as we only allow a 250 point cap maximum when playing the matching board. George you have until 5:45am EST on Saturday, July 27th to post your answer. If correct, you will automatically take 250 points to the matching board. If you're wrong or miss the deadline, Chris and Bryan will score 30 points apiece and we will play a 70 point toss up question. |

Correct George. I have been made aware that I made some posts in Episode 1 which should be here in episode 2. So a quick recap... George maxed out with 250 points and went to the matching board. He has spent 90 points thus far and this is what the board currently looks like:  He has 160 left to spend and his next selection was to spend 40 points on the Red Box...  Got yourself a cowboy hat under there George. 120 left to spend, you can do business once more in the 40 point column if you so choose. How do you want to play it? |

Last chance for that third sailor's cap... 40 on the Blue...  (Gasps and groans) Did you ever??? Straw hat there George, tough break, but you still have 80 points left to spend, the 40 point column however is now closed. Where to? |

30 on the Yellow...  (more groans) The board has become quite difficult on you George, but with 50 points left, you can still do this. You have enough for one more pick in the 20 and one in the 30 to achieve Three on a Match. Where to next? |

Last chance for Three on a Match...  And no! Wow, lots of boxes revealed but no three of a kind there George, sorry about that.  The good news for Chris and Bryan is that they already have some points and now have a chance to add more. Still playing the TV LOCALES category...  70 point question coming... This police action crime drama series first debuted on CBS in the 1960s and starred Jack Lord, and was revamped from 2010 to 2020 also on CBS. What was the title of this TV series? (ding)  Bryan you're in first this time and have until 8:15pm EST on Sunday, July 28th to post your answer. |
