Hello friends, I am back and hopefully back for keeps!
I was sidelined for the better part of 6 weeks due to needing surgery on my left foot. Specifically I had to have one toe removed due to a severe infection.
After one week of being hospitalized, I was in a rehab center from October 9th through yesterday, November 15th.
I follow up with my foot doctor again on Monday, November 18th. Between that, and getting used to being back home, and still having a lot of other work to do here from home, coupled with Kevin's vacation, I will resume this episode on Tuesday, November 19th, unless something unforeseen comes up.
My podiatrist has me out of work until January 2nd. One bit of good news is that I am able to collect disability pay. Another bit of good news is that I'll have more time home with my family after having not been home for a month and a half. And also this should allow me more time to devote for now to net game play and hosting again, barring any complications or other unforeseen circumstances.
We will begin a brand new match with George, Nels and Kevin on Tuesday, November 19th.
Thank you all for your patience and especially your prayers.
Appreciatively (more than ever!)
Bill

(fade into applause)  At LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG last we are finally back up and running, both the show and yours truly. Due to a health condition, I was required to be hospitalized from October 2nd through the 9th, and then from Oct 9th through Nov 15th I was in a rehab facility. I had to have a small toe amputated from my left foot. Ever so grateful to everybody who helped me through this challenging time in my life. Ever so grateful that it was just one toe that had to be removed, and of course I am ever so grateful to be back here again to continue this interrupted episode of Bill McDee's Three On A Match. I thank you all for your support, your thoughts and your prayers. They too really helped me to get through and to get back to you. During the first segment of episode 6, George Cluster had won his third game against Chris Chambers and Bryan Law. George played the Bonus Bucks end game but was unable to achieve Three on a Match that time for the really big money, but he still won $550 in consolation cash. For winning the main game, George won a very nice prize, a Bar Cabinet. His total up til now in cash and prizes comes to $24,100. George, if you win two more games, you'll retire as an undefeated five time champion and drive home in this! Frank Caliendo (as Don Pardo):  It's a brand new CAR!!! All new for 2025, sit in the lap of luxury in this Cadillac CT5 4 door sedan, including tax and license this prize is worth... FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! George you are three fifths of the way toward winning that luxurious prize. Speaking of prizes, the winner of this next game will win a lovely trip. We have 4 destinations and once a player goes for his third match to win the game, those trips will be on the big board to match up. Right now, please let's give a warm welcome back to two former players who are again going to try their luck against George, it's Nels Snesrud and Kevin Kolsen! (applause)  And may I say to all three of you I am every bit as glad to have you all here as I am glad to be BACK here again! It takes three matches at the big board to win a game and to earn the right to play our Bonus Bucks end game for a potential top prize of $25,000 in cash! (applause) Before you can go to the matching board, you must first be the high scorer during our question and answer round. Each category played has a total of 4 questions, each of increasing value from $25, to $50, then $75 and finally $100. In the event two players tie for the top score, the lowest scoring player will get to choose which of the other two will get to go to the matching board. You'll note each player has a "200" under their respective podiums, this is the base total of points our players get to spend when going to the matching board. Once a player achieves Three on a Match, their point value is reset to the base of 200. Each time a player is unsuccessful in achieving Three on a Match, another 10 points is added into their total until such time that a match is made.  George, as defending champion, you get to select from this board here first this time. I will ask you to select from the top, center or bottom slide. The category will be revealed. Afterward we will see if you found a bonus card up there which will go toward the matching board part of the game. George, please select top, center or bottom at this time and we'll get this new game underway! |

 SHARK ATTACK is the category...and...  DOUBLE POT this time around meaning if any of you achieves Three on a Match, it will be worth double the dollar value. Incidentally, if either an Instant Match is made this time or if the Jackpot Card is the money card to be played for, it will mean double $1,000! These questions deal with the category of sharks, not necessarily all aquatic kinds either. First toss up for $25. During the summer of 1975, many were afraid to go to the beach thanks to this hit classic film by Steven Spielberg. Give me the one word title of this film. (ding)  George, you're in first and will have until 2:50pm EST on Thursday, November 21st to post your answer. |

Card Sharks is the one, good for $50 to you Nels. $75 toss up in SHARK ATTACK. Give me the three word title of the Broadway play that featured two rival gangs known as the Jets and the Sharks. (ding)  Nels is in first again. Nels you will have until 4:20pm EST on Thursday, November 21st to post your response. |

Yes indeedy! (applause)  Nels you navigated through many sharks quite nicely.  Time now to determine the value of the matching board Nels. Please select a color and specify if you want it from the left or the right column. |

 $350, so with the DOUBLE POT bonus activated, if you make a match Nels you'll score $700 and if you get an instant match, it will mean $2,000 for you.  Nels the matching board is yours, 200 points to spend, two quick reminders, one, try to avoid the NO MATCH card if you can, also remember you may only select up to three boxes in any given column. Best of luck to you Mr. Snesrud, which box do you want first? |

 Got a harp there, 180 left to spend Nels. Incidentally, we have a new mini bonus of sorts. If any player's first two picks match but they fail to achieve Three on a Match, they will still win a $100 bonus. Where to next Nels? |

 Well no sooner said than done Nels. You're guaranteed a minimum of $100 since your first two picks matched. If there is a harp to be had in the 40 column and if you find it on this very next selection, you'll get 1 match and $2,000! Where to next? |
