Bill McDee's Three On A Match - Episode 4

[billmcdee]

Right for $200!





And on behalf of Bills and Williams everywhere players, thank you for not missing a single question.

Got a unique situation here as both George and Bryan have $200, Chris as low man you will get to choose whether George or Bryan will play the next matching board.

While none of you have any matches, remember if Bryan goes back to the board, he'll have 220 points plus one free box this time, whereas George will have 200 points to spend plus that free box.

So with that in mind Chris, who will get to play the matching board this time George or Bryan?

[EaglesWings1975a]

George

[billmcdee]

Very well George, you have 200 points to spend and if you do not achieve Three on a Match after you run out of points, you will have one free box at the end as well.

Where do you want to start George?

[bighornbattle]

20 green.

[billmcdee]

Bogart there 180 points left to spend and then one free box afterward George.

Next?

[bighornbattle]

30 on the red.

[billmcdee]

(Gasps)  Well well, 150 points left and if there is a Bogart in the 40 point column and you find it right now, it's $1,000 for you George.

Which box?

[bighornbattle]

40 on the red.

[billmcdee]

Okay...


If 40 on the Red is another Humphrey Bogart, that's an instant match for you George and $1,000.








Are you behind 40 on the Red "Schweetheart?"


























(Groans)  No!  That's what I get for getting fresh with our gameboard, sorry about that George, but you still have 110 points to spend and then one free box afterward if needed.


Where to?

[bighornbattle]

40 on the green.

[billmcdee]

Trying to find Humphrey Bogart hiding behind 40 on the Green...

































Got a W.C. Fields there George, 70 points left to spend and then one free box should you need.

Where to?

[bighornbattle]

40 on the blue.

[billmcdee]

Last chance for Mr. Bogart as this will close out the 40 point column.

















Is he at 40 on the Blue?





















Still no!  The board has become very temperamental today.  George you have 30 points left to spend and then one free box, which you're going to need.


You can pick from either the 20 or the 30 point column, which box do you want? 

[bighornbattle]

30 on the yellow.

[billmcdee]

We do not want to see Marilyn at 30 on the Yellow.









If she is there, the free box will be of no use to you George.








What is at 30 on the Yellow?















Clark Gable, you're still in the running George.  The "F" stands for your one Free box...Obviously you'll need to pick from the 20 point column, a 1 out of 3 chance to find a third Clark Gable...do you choose red, yellow or blue?

[bighornbattle]

Yellow.

[billmcdee]

Did the One Free Box salvage this board for George?















20 on the Yellow...



























OH YEAH!!!!!!  (wild cheers & applause)


Have Mercy!   And how much did George win?












OH the Jackpot!  (more wild cheering & applause)





$1,000 for you George!  The Instant Match eluded you but by gosh and by golly you hit the Jackpot card to win $1,000!  Outstanding!


The Jackpot Instant Match will reset once again to $750 and will grow by $50 each time a match is made at the big board and it is not won.





So George continues to play like a champion, leads with 1 match.  Remember George, if you get to 3 matches before both Chris and Bryan can get even 1 match, not only will you win your third championship, but a $5,000 bonus as well!


And now we start all over again...







George, you get to select a category, 1, 2 or 3?

[bighornbattle]

1.

[billmcdee]

COUNT ON IT is the category this time.





No bonus under that one.

This category deals with the word COUNT somehow or another, not necessarily a mathematical category.


For $50 players, Bram Stoker wrote a novel about this Transylvanian vampire, who happens to be featured on our gameboard from time to time.

Name this character.


(ding)





Bryan you are in first this time, and incidentally, if you go back to the matching board, you will still have 220 points to play with, those do not reset whenever we start a new round.

Bryan your answer is needed by 8:15am EST on Tuesday, August 27th please.

[Bryan]

Dracula

[billmcdee]

And according to Mrs Dracula, he could be a real pain in the neck.



Right for $50.





Now for $100...



If you suffer from insomnia, some suggest counting these...counting what?




(ding)

[bighornbattle]

[billmcdee]

In baseball, when the hitter has 3 balls and 2 strikes on him, that is said to be a what?

[EaglesWings1975a]

This is also a very good sandwich

Monte Cristo

[billmcdee]

I never knew that.  Good for $200 Chris!  (applause)







And Chris you'll get to play the matching board this time.






You have the base number of points, 200.  Good luck, where to first Chris?

[EaglesWings1975a]

20 on the red please

[EaglesWings1975a]

Bill, This is what a Monte Cristo sandwich looks like





It's a fried sandwich with ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, and mustard dipped in beaten egg and pan-fried until golden and gooey for a delicious alternative to your usual ham and cheese sandwich. Great with berry jam on the side.

[billmcdee]

Very interesting!  That does look very tasty for sure!





20 on the Red you selected and we have for you...








A comet.  Outer space theme this time.  180 points left to spend Chris.  Where to next?
