And now with more of Three on a Match, here's Bill Mc Dee!






That's me!  Welcome back and welcome in once again to Three on a Match.  We just got a new game underway with two time champion George Cluster taking on challengers Chris Chambers and Bryan Law, sounds like a law firm to me!

Bryan had one crack at the big board but came up short, so now we resume play.

We are adding in a new wrinkle to the game here right now too.  We have decided that we will always play out all four questions now in a category for the following reason...

Should any one player get all four questions right with a single category, thus scoring $500, we will from now on automatically reveal the NO MATCH card on the board for said player before they begin play.

The DOUBLE POT and ONE FREE BOX bonus cards will always be available still behind the category slides as well.

We are working on and tinkering with other ideas for future episodes but in the meantime, these will be the changes we have made for now.





Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we left off with you Bryan, you get to select which category we play next, do you want 1, 2 or 3?

[Bryan]

3 please.

[billmcdee]

Three it shall be.






POT LUCK category, and is there a bonus card?







By Golly there is!  DOUBLE POT, so if any player makes a match at the big board this time, the value of that match will be doubled, so either an instant match or winning with the JACKPOT card will mean $2,000!


First toss up question for $50 in POT LUCK players.


The 2024 Democratic National Convention is concluding tonight in Chicago.  What animal represents the Democratic Party?

$200 toss up in POT LUCK, whoever answers this next question correctly will get to play the matching board.


According to the Christmas carol, on the first day of Christmas, what did my true love send to me?






(ding)






Bryan's first and has until 8:55pm EST on Saturday, August 24th to post his answer.

[Bryan]

A partridge in a pear tree.

[billmcdee]

Yes sir!

(applause)





And just like that Bryan you're at the matching board again.


As you were unable to get Three on a Match last time, we've added 10 more points to the base total, so you'll have 210 points to spend this time around.





Bryan, please make your first selection and good luck.

[Bryan]

20 Green

[billmcdee]

Still our Silver Screen Legends board, Clark Gable there and 190 left to spend Bryan.

Next selection is?

[Bryan]

30 blue

[billmcdee]

30 on the Blue...


































(Loud gasping)


Well now Bryan, if your next selection is Clark Gable, you will have an instant match which means you will win the Jackpot which is at $1,000 PLUS an additional $1,000 because of the DOUBLE POT bonus card.


Look it over, and for $2,000 Bryan Law, what is your next pick?

[Bryan]

40 red

[billmcdee]

40 on the Red for $2,000............






































(groans)  No...but 120 still left to spend Bryan.  Where to?

[Bryan]

40 yellow

[billmcdee]

40 on the Yellow for a match...




























Still no.  80 points left Bryan, where to next?

[Bryan]

Argh!

40 Green!

[billmcdee]

Nice pirate imitation there sir.










Looking for Clark Gable is he hiding at 40 on the Green?























(Louder groans)  Egad Bryan, no!  And with only 40 points left, there is nothing you can do.  Your next trip to the matching board you will have 220 points to spend.

I know the late-great Bill Cullen would often advise contestants to try to buy as many boxes as they could with the amount of points/dollars they had to spend at the big board, just a strategy to perhaps keep in mind for all of our current and future contestants!






So once again we are back at square one, Bryan the choice is yours, 1, 2 or 3?

[Bryan]

3

[billmcdee]

Well well, my name in "lights" so to speak.  No sooner do I talk about Bill Cullen and the category BILLS & WILLIAMS turns up.





And one free box for whoever goes to the matching board.

In each case, the first name of the person to be identified is either Bill or William, you must come up with the last name.


This character actor named William portrayed gruff but lovable landlord Fred Mertz on the eternally popular sitcom "I Love Lucy".

[billmcdee]

In the 1960s, this actor played opposite Ray Walston on the sitcom "My Favorite Martian".  During the 1970s, this actor starred in an ABC television program "The Courtship Of Eddy's Father", but is probably best known for portraying opposite Lou Ferrigno on "The Incredible Hulk" playing Dr. David Banner.
