On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Ep. 60)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For the game -- is it -- The Blues Brothers?

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

That's it.

Normally, I'd ask if anyone knows what the unsolved clue is. But I think we've already figured it out. If you know anything about "The Blues Brothers", you know the middle clue is Joliet Jake.

There it is. The famous *fictional* family pair, bourne from a blues and soul revue band.

(Lorelei places dice near George's buzzer)

All right. Bryan, unfortunately, your first loss. You're not out until you lose two. Meantime, Lorelei will walk you to the comfiest chair in all of Glendale. We'll see you back for our next game, Bryan Law.

(audience cheers) (Bryan and Lorelei walk off stage)

Okay, George, money roll time. Since you just advanced to Level 1, this is for $5000 a point. Doubles are allowed. So a roll of boxcars means you'll play for up to $60,000 in Big 6.

(audience cheers)

So good luck and give 'em a good roll.


(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

(scattered groans)

An itty bitty acey deucy for $15,000.

But remember, the sooner you solve the Big 6 word the better. And you do solve the word, you'll play Lucky 7 for up to $100,000.

(audience cheers)

I knew that would pep you up.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

More to come after this.

Welcome back to On A Roll. We're here with George who just won a game -- and now plays a game of Big 6 -- with the one and only -- Wally!

(audience cheers)

Wally, what'cha got on your mind on this Friday?

(FF reveal sfx) (scattered laughter from crowd)

Aren't you clever? May we have the numbers for Big 6, please?

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Here's how Big 6 works, George.

The dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out your Big 6 word. Much like the main game, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the Big 6 word as you possibly can. Now, Wally's about to give us a hint. Wally, may we have the hint, please?

(ding)

Name Game. So this is the six-letter last name of a famous person. Obviously, we're dealing with a proper noun.

Now, much like the earlier game, you get four rolls of the dice. What's different here is if you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled -- and you can never play the sum.

So if you rolled a 1 and a 4, you could have Wally reveal the first letter or the fourth letter -- but not the fifth letter.

After your first roll, if you can correctly solve the Big 6 word, look right into that camera and exclaim how much money you'll win.

[bighornbattle]

*excited* $15,000!!!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

(audience cheers)

Indeed.

But if you need a second roll, the value of the Big 6 word drops to $5000 -- and for each roll thereafter, we cut the potential winnings in half. While you're on a roll in Big 6, anytime you throw doubles or two different numbers you've already played, that counts as a wasted roll and reduces your potential winnings accordingly.

(Lorelei hands George dice)

So you have the rules and the dice. George, good luck. You -- are on a roll.


(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Darn! Those Texas sunflowers really like you, George.

Unfortunately, they stunt your growth and knock you down to $5000.

Try it again.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Okay, better roll. Would you like the first or fourth letter?

[bighornbattle]

First.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

It's an M.

George, one guess for $5000. What is this Big 6 name?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for George)

[bighornbattle]

Melody.

[dougmorrisontheair]

For $5000, is this famous last name -- Melody?














































(buzz)

(audience groans)

Oh, sorry. Two rolls remain, George. Need to solve this on this or the next roll to play Lucky 7.

Roll again, please.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Got a 6 and a 2. So -- second or sixth letter, George?

[bighornbattle]

2 please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Second letter is an I.

For $2500, what is this Big 6 name?

[bighornbattle]

Mickey.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered groans)

Mmm-kay -- is it Mickey?

(buzz)

Sorry. That's not it. Remember what we said at the beginning -- this is a famous person's *last* name. We're down to $1250.

Final roll. You need to avoid the roll of a 1 and a 2 -- as well as the doubles.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And -- 2 and 6 again. You've already played the 2. So, Wally, sixth letter, please.

(ding)

It's an R.

Last guess on this for $1250. Need to solve it correctly here to have a shot at Lucky 7.

What is this Big 6 name?

[bighornbattle]

Miller

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For $1250 and advancement into Lucky 7, Wally, is it Miller?

(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

There we go. $1250 -- and a chance to win a lot more at Lucky 7.

Wally, please set up Lucky 7.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. George, here's how Lucky 7 works.

Wally will give you a certain number of chances to roll any sum of 7 on the dice. But before Wally sets the timer, we need to find out what is at stake. All you have to do is pick a letter in the word "lucky". Since you're on Level 1, those lucky letters hide different amounts of cash of up to $100,000.

(audience cheers)

So which letter in "lucky" would you like?

[bighornbattle]

L for Love.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(FF reveal sfx) (scattered laughter from crew)

If you know, you know -- and yes. What's behind the L, Wally?

(cha-ching) (audience cheers)

$50,000. Good amount to play for.


(alarm goes off)

You know what that means. Wally's activating the shutdown timer. He's setting it based on the value you found against the others you left behind.

And he's setting the timer for...

(ding)

...four rolls. This means you have a maximum of four tries to roll any sum of 7.

Anytime you roll any sum higher or lower than 7, you win its total value in hundreds of dollars. Doubles are still worthless *and* will cause an instant shutdown of the game.

Ready to get back on a roll for $50,000?

[bighornbattle]

Yes I am.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then you're back -- on a roll.


(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

(loud groans from crowd)

Close!

(ding)

But that does award $600 with three tries to go.

Next try coming up. Give 'em another roll.


(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Bingo!

(dings; DSW sound effects play; win theme plays; audience cheers)

(various shots of crowd cheering)

First try was a close call -- the next -- perfection.

How ya feelin', George?

[bighornbattle]

I feel blessed and highly favored. That was awesome.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well this is a great time to crunch numbers. $50,600 in Lucky 7 plus $1250 in Big 6. What does that add up to, Wally?

(FF reveal sfx) (audience cheers)

$51,850 -- with a chance to win more. Another game's coming up -- after this.


(theme plays; audience applause)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Tiffany: Closed captioning provided by...

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Welcome back to On A Roll.

George just one $51,850 between Big 6 and Lucky 7 -- and that was just Level 1.

Bryan still has $70,200 -- but was just dealt a loss. Remember, two losses eliminate a player.

With that, here comes our next name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And we've got an eight-letter answer for this question. Get it right and you'll be on a roll.

Who got on a roll -- after landing the role of Andrea on "Beverly Hills, 90210"?

(ding)

---

(Bryan and George, please PM me your buzz code from 1-100 and your answer.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(George buzzes in)

George?

George: Carteris

(dings; audience cheers)

That's right. Gabrielle Carteris.

Okay, George. You're back in the box. Four rolls will be yours. But first, we need to set up a new game board.


(FF reveal sfx; Puala poses by board)

And -- will this be easy as 1-2-3? We have a one-word clue at the top, two-word clue in the middle, and a three-word clue at the bottom row.

Who will level up in this game? Let's find out. George, you are now -- on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Starting with a 1 and a 5...

...or a 6.

[bighornbattle]

1 and 5 on the top row.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Puala touches screen)

Starting with a C...

(Puala touches screen)

...and an H.

George you may guess the top clue or roll 'em again.

[bighornbattle]

Coach.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

That's it. Well done with limited info.

Well -- three rolls to go in this round -- but you may not need 'em.

If you solve this puzzle right now, you quickly move up to Level 2, you get an extra hint for Big 6, and Bryan's going to be one bummed-out roller.

So, what's your guess of the puzzle?

[bighornbattle]

No guess. I will roll.
