If 20 on the Green is that third horseshoe, you will win anywhere from $5,000 up to $12,500 George. Show us 20 on the Green...  OH NO! Well George, today the Bonus Bucks board didn't pay off a huge amount however, I am glad to report that we actually WILL still pay you $100 for every lucky symbol you did reveal...  So another $500 goes into your coffers, and you now have a two game cash total of SIXTEEN-THOUSAND SIX-HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE bucks! Not too bad at all George! And we're going to right now get into your next game with Chris and Bryan. As I mentioned previously we're having them back again because of rule changes we implemented in the middle of the last game between you three.  Starting a brand new game here with George, Chris and Bryan. A reminder that the first player to achieve Three on a Match three times at the matching board wins the game and plays the Bonus Bucks end game which you just saw. And should any player win a game by reaching 3 matches and both of his opponents not having any, that pays a $5,000 bonus! $1,000 for the Jackpot/Instant Match this time around...  And George, since you are the current champion, you get to select our first category for this brand new game, which number looks good to you George? |

The first category of this new game is...  FRUITS & VEGETABLES And do we have a bonus card this time?  Nyet. Incidentally players, we are introducing another bonus card to our game board which will turn up from time to time, more about that one if and when it appears. For now here's a $50 toss-up in the category FRUITS & VEGETABLES... A nickname for New York City is "The Big..." what? (ding)  Bryan you're in first this time and you have until Monday, August 19th at 9:15PM Eastern Standard Time to post your answer. |

Correct for $50. Now for $100, legendary cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man loved eating a certain type of vegetable. What was it? (ding)  And Chris it is you in first this time, you have until 9:35PM E.S.T. on Monday, August 19th to post your answer. |

Yes that's the one. Not sure Chris if the device you were using did an "auto correct" on you changing that over to Spanish from Spinach or not. Let me know please. If Brian gets this next question right, he will have $300 and will automatically get to go to the matching board, since the last question is only worth $200 and neither George nor Chris could catch Bryan. For $150 players, raisins are dried up forms of which fruit? (ding)  And indeed it is Bryan in first again this time, you have until 11:45am EST on Tuesday, August 20th to post your answer Bryan. |

That's the one. Yeah prunes are dried up plums actually. George with $150, Chris $0, Bryan $150 but this $200 toss up question in FRUITS & VEGETABLES will determine which player goes to the board. Which vegetable comes canned in niblet form but can also be eaten on the cob? (ding)  It is Bryan, you have until 1:15pm EST on Tuesday, August 20th to post your answer. |

Correct for another $200 and a trip to the matching board Bryan!  As this is a brand new game, you're starting out with the base of 200 points to spend. If you fail to achieve Three on a Match, your next trip to the big board will have 210 points instead. Where do we start Bryan? |

This will close out the 30 point column...has to be a pair on this one or I'll walk home on my hands! 30 on the Blue  A golfer never wants to score 3 Bogeys on the golf course, but in your case Bryan, you will need 3 Bogeys to win here. 50 points left, enough for one pick in the 40 column, 25% chance of making a match, do you choose Red, Green, Yellow or Blue? |

Well the odds are 3 to 1 against, but stranger things have happened... 40 on the Red?  (groans) Nope, not this time Bryan, sorry about that. I will share a little strategy secret though since the game is tied up right now as we just started anew. When you went to 30 on the Yellow for your second pick and got WC Fields, you had no way of knowing it but you were in trouble with that as he was the one that was removed during this particular board with the NO MATCH card. Had you taken another box in the 20 column, that would have revealed a picture that you knew had to be up there three times. Nonetheless it was a valiant effort. If and when you go to the board next time Bryan you'll go with 210 points. Also friends, I'd like to mention we have a poll question up. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to look it over as well as past episodes of Bill McDee's Three on a Match so you can make an informed choice on said poll question. As the big board has become a bit more difficult, why don't we take a quick time out for these words of interest. |
