Nathan Diniz is the new champion with $8,300 in cash and prizes and he needs a challenger.
I'm going to have a qualifying question this time out however.
The first one of you who gets this correct will become the next contestant on Gambit P.M.
During most of the run of Gambit P.M. I have been wearing a tuxedo, and I shall continue to do so, however, I have added something new to that tuxedo.
The qualifying question is, what item have I added to my tuxedo?
The first person who can correctly guess what it is will get to play against Nathan.
Let the guessing commence!

The deadline for guessing will be 8pm this evening (Saturday, July 25th). The winning contestant won't find out until the show itself starts  If nobody comes up with the correct guess, I will use some other method to select. Thank you, keep those guesses coming friends, just one guess per customer is the only rule  |

Thank you all for your responses. The deadline has come and gone.
Nobody guessed it, however, we do have a winner, and that will be found out once this episode starts, which will most likely not be until tomorrow sometime.
Thank you all!
Bill

picosong.com/wicm/Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): Tonight…  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): One correct prediction plus…  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): One twenty-one in any combination, and…  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): One correct selection will win this brand new 2016 Cadillac plus…  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): ONE MILLION DOLLARS in CASH! Tonight on... GAMBIT... Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): PM. A game of skill, fate and fortune.  Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): And now, from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS Television City in Hollywood, here's your Master of Ceremonies for this evening… Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): Bill McDee!  That's me! (applause) Thank you Frank Caliendo, and thank you to our lovely studio audience and to you there watching us in the comfort of your own home, or perhaps elsewhere! We're finishing up our 3rd week of Gambit P.M. broadcasts, and doing so with some new elements, the first of which as you can perhaps see is on my tuxedo. No, I didn't drip guacamole on it, it's a green carnation. Carnations were my Mother's favorite flower and green was her favorite color, so this honors her memory, and at the same time, the carnation is very close to my heart. Speaking of hearts, we have a standard deck of 52 playing cards, 13 hearts, plus 13 clubs, diamonds and spades, all freshly shuffled and presented to our dealer. For those of you who aren't aware, my lovely niece Lynn Jennings, now in her third tri-mester of her pregnancy, decided she was going to retire her position as hostess and dealer to focus on motherhood, so we wish her well. And this of course means we have a NEW dealer who is every bit as sweet, charming and lovely, the very talented actress, give a very warm Gambit P.M. welcome to Cinderella herself... Lily James! Good evening Lily! (cheering & applause)  Good evening Bill! Bill (off camera) - It feels weird not hearing "Uncle" anymore, but it's very splendid to have you here as part of the Gambit P.M. family Lily! I'm going to put you to work now by introducing to all of America tonight's contestants, Lilly, please... picosong.com/q789/Lily: Glad to Bill, first, the winner of our contest who guessed that your new wardrobe accessory would be a rose, he's an author, welcome Darion Daniel! (applause) And our returning champion, with one win and a cash and prize total of $8,300, welcome back Nathan Diniz! (applause) Players, good evening, and good luck!  Darion, congratulations on coming closest to guessing what my wardrobe accessory would be. You really "rose" to the occasion! (audience begins to boo) I told you that joke would fall flat Wink! He made me do it, I swear! Darion, Lily tells us that you are an author. What else would you like to share with us about you?

I sometimes attempt to help my son with his math homework. It is my favorite subject, which is probably why his name is "Math"ew (Matthew). And on a quick personal note, I want to wish him a very happy 16th birthday today while taping this episode. I also want to wish you well Darion in your future endeavors as a writer and in finding a job as well as wish you well with this match.
Nathan Diniz is back with $8,300 in cash and prizes so far. Nathan, if you win tonight's match, there will be at least two car symbols on the board for the car game, and if that is won, you'll also receive a briefcase filled with fifty-thousand one dollar bills!
What else would you like to tell us about you or remind us about yourself?

Darion, while we wait for Nathan to reply, I'll have Lily break the seal on a new deck of 52 cards. She will now present them to you. Please cut them Darion. Select a number higher than 0, but lower than 52. This will represent how deeply into the deck you wish the cards to be cut.

Since there has been no word from Nathan on this thread, nor in the vacation thread, I will need a replacement contestant for him.
If anybody is interested, please contact me via p.m. (Private Message)
Cordially,
Bill

Raymond Weaver a.k.a. bowlerraymond was the first to contact me to replace Nathan for episode 15.
The winner of this match will play against pathfinder20 in episode 16.
The match will continue sometime later today.
Cordially,
Bill

Since it appears that our current champion Nathan is M.I.A., we have another contestant that we've brought in to play our game against Darion. Here is Lily to introduce him now, Lily? picosong.com/q789/ Lily: Bill, here to play against Darion is a young man who works for Krispy Kreme and who is also a passionate bowler, please welcome to Gambit P.M. Raymond Weaver! (applause) Lily: Raymond, good evening and good luck! Raymond, welcome to our program. This may prove a little easier than bowling since here, a score of 21, not 300, is a perfect score! What else might you like to share with us about yourself before we proceed? |

That is marvelous. I am sure they are glad to have you, as are we! Darion already cut the cards for our first game. When we play game #2 Raymond, we will have you do the honors. And now, here to do the honors, to tell us about the prize that will be awarded to the winner of game 1 of our match is our very own, Frank Caliendo...Frank? picosong.com/9LQ9/Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): It's a Dishwasher…  From Whirlpool, the AccuSense soil sensor measures load size and soil level during the prewash, and adjusts to the right wash and dry settings throughout the wash cycle to deliver precise cleaning for your dishes. Frank Caliendo (as Kenny Williams): Retail value, $550, okay Bill! And we're making some other changes to our game as well. As before, the winner of each game will be paid $50 per point, with a house minimum of $500. As before, toss up questions are worth $100 each. However, now, if you get 21, you instantly win, but instead of paying you $50 multiplied by 21, you will win instead the Any 21 Jackpot and it now is at a new minimum starting amount which is... (clang)  TWO-Thousand dollars! (applause) Each game it is not won, we will increase it by $500 until it is hit. There will no longer be a double jackpot for a 2 card 21 happening in here, or at the Gambit Board, however the Any 21 Jackpot at the Gambit Board tonight will be worth $15,000 and will grow by $1,000 per show until it is hit. And as always, we do reveal the first card to start game 1 of the match. Lily, what are we playing for?  That's a nice way to start. For a Jack of Hearts worth 10 players...here is the question. Incidentally, electronic dice will determine who gets to answer the question and determine the fate of the card. ON THE TELEVISION SERIES "GILLIGAN'S ISLAND" HOW MANY PASSENGERS WERE SAID TO BE ABOARD THE MINNOW DURING THE OPENING THEME SONG? picosong.com/g3fZ/ Raymond, the electronic dice for you totaled 8 to 5 for Darion. For $100 and control of the Jack, please provide your answer within 48 hours from now Raymond. Also, please indicate if you wish to keep the Jack or give it away. |

Keeping the Jack, giving him a score of 10.  Remember, we do not show you the next card until after you determine its fate. Hit those buttons to stop the randomly flashing dice to see who will be required to answer this next $100 toss-up question players... SPEAKING OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE ACCLAIMED ACTOR WHO APPEARED ON THE SERIES, WHO ALSO VOICED THE CARTOON CHARACTER MR. MAGOO? picosong.com/g3fZ/ Raymond, your 10 beats Darion's 5. Please provide both your answer to this question and also tell me if you wish to keep or pass the next card within 48 hours from now. |

Darion, $100 for you by default, as well as control of the next card. Do you wish to keep it or give it away?

Darion's first card is...  (moans in the audience) To think, right across the hall over at "Card Sharks" that 2 would get loud cheers!  Raymond 10, Darion 2. A reminder players, once your score reaches 12 or more, and if you receive a card that either puts you in the lead, or keeps you in the lead, you will be given the option to freeze. If you elect to continue playing however, you won't have the option to freeze again until you receive another card which either puts you in the lead or keeps you in the lead. Another $100 toss-up for control of the next card... THIS SILENT FILM STAR WAS KNOWN AS "THE LITTLE TRAMP"? WHAT WAS HIS LAST NAME? picosong.com/g3fZ/ Raymond, the question is yours. Please indicate if you wish to keep the next card or give it away and please provide the correct answer within 48 hours from the time of this post. |
