20 on the Yellow for $1,000...  (groans) No... Where was it?  OH!!! Just one away! 20 on the BLUE had it...so sorry about that, very good try though Bryan! And with that, we'll take a quick time out, see if Chris will become the new champ, but both George and Bryan will have something to say about that to be sure. Back with more after this! |

(fade into applause)  Here we are back at it once again. We have a new and exciting feature with Three on a Match. Thanks to an overwhelming and unanimous vote, we are going to be bringing back something old school from Three on a Match's early days, a prize board. Here's how it will work. Whenever one of our players goes to the matching board to try to get their third match and to win the game, instead of pictures being on the board, there will instead be prizes. Should said player match three of the same prize within the given amount of points and if they have a free box as well to use, they will win the cash award attached to their winning pick as well as the prize that they matched. So right now if Chris goes back to the board, his matching board would be just prizes up there and not pictures. Kind of a neat and exciting new twist to the game. And with each game won by our players, the value of the prizes gets higher for their next game up through their first four games won. Right now though it's back to business as usual... Quick recap George has 1 match going toward 3 in this game, Chris just scored his second match and Bryan is hoping to get back to the matching board again. Should either George or Chris play the board, they will have 200 points to spend, Bryan will have 220 if and when he goes back. Right now here's the category board in all her glory.  Chris, please select a number to reveal which category we'll be playing this time out. |

Correct for $150 more George, you now are at $250, Bryan with $50, Chris $0. This last toss up is worth $200... His first name was Fred and from 1969 through 2001 he hosted a PBS children's series which featured characters such as Mr. McFeeley, King Friday the 13th and a trolley which led to the Neighborhood of Make Believe. What was Fred's last name? (ding)  Bryan is in first and you have until 4:30pm EST on Tuesday, September 10th to post your answer please. |

Right for $200! (applause)  So we have a tie between George and Bryan which means that you Chris get to choose who goes to the matching board. Remember One Free Box is a bonus card in play for whoever plays it. George has 1 match already going toward three, Bryan has none thus far so that's one consideration. Another is that George has 200 points and then one free box to spend whereas Bryan has 220 points and then the freebie if needed. So who gets to go to the matching board Chris, will it be George or Bryan? |

 Mr. Eisenhower there. Three on a Mismatch thus far, still 150 to spend and one freebie at the end. Try again Bryan. You have one more box available to you in the 20 point column should you choose to go there again. |

 Sadly no help with that pick. You have enough points to buy one more box either in the 30 or 40 point column Bryan, and then you'll have one free pick. Which box next? |

For a match, 40 on the Blue...  Not there, so you have just 20 points left, not enough to buy another box, but you have one free box to select. If you go to the 30 column you'll be trying for George, if you stay in the 40 you'll be trying for an Abe, so either way a 50/50 proposition perhaps. Where to Bryan? |

30 on the Yellow for a match?  There you go! (applause) Bryan I must say this board really gives you fits! How much more money did you win just now?  $300 behind 30 on the Yellow that time and you earned every nickel of it for sure! So another $50 will go into the Instant Match/Jackpot Match pot and next time one of you could win $900, possibly $1,800 in a double pot situation.  Everybody's now on the board, George 1 match, Chris 2 matches, Bryan 1 match, going for 3 to win the game and play for $25,000. All 3 players now are back to the 200 points base when returning to the board, that always resets for a player once they have made a match.  To the category board we go and I can tell you there's three fun ones hidden up there, at least I like them, we'll see if you do. Bryan, you get to make the next choice, do you want the top, middle or bottom row? |
