No sale. (canned audience groans) [$ALE SURPRISE](canned audience groans even louder) Oh no! There was a $ale Surprise attached to it. Heather, give me the envelope, please. (she hands it to me and I open it up) Oh, this was a real treat. We'd have given you a $1,500 gift certificate to Omaha Steaks plus the opportunity to get your weight in New York strip steaks. And not just New York strip steaks, but Omaha Steaks Private Reserve Wagyu New York Strip Steaks. Normally, I'd offer this up as a door prize to our audience, but since we don't have an audience, we'll just keep those for ourselves. Oh, what a pity. You could've had over $12,500 in this island, cash, and steaks. What a pity. (I walk back to my lectern) Still, you have the lead. Back to the questions. 1. How many numbered, colored balls are there in a standard game of billiards?
2. In the game of chess, which piece has the most freedom to move?
3. What was frontierswoman Martha Burke better known as?(buzzcodes and answers, please) |

(Come on, guys. Get into the spirit of it. You've seen the show before. I'll give you an example.) Bob: Come on, $15 Money Card..... NOW!(he stops)Greg: Nope. He lands at #8. How much cash is he getting this time, Burton? Burton: One thousand dollars!(canned audience cheers) Greg: Not bad, not bad. I believe that's $2,500 you've picked up off the Fame Game board already. Still, your score does not change, and in the next round, we'll have a $25,000 Great Temptation when we play CashCard! Stick around. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Greg: Welcome back to $ale of the Century. Let's check the scores again.
Ian: $35
Bob: $35
Danny: $15
Ian and Bob are tied at $35 a piece, while Danny is at $15. Keep at it, Danny. You'll score. Maybe. Anyway, back to this for $5. 1. Which 80s sitcom used the song "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra as its theme song?
2. What process emulsifies the fat in milk?
3. In English, it translates to "Beautiful mother" and often means the school you graduated from. What phrase am I talking about?
4. What measurement of time is made up of 525,600 minutes?
5. Give me the exact next line to this chart topper by Post Malone.
We couldn't turn around till we were upside down
I'll be the bad guy now, but know I ain't too proud
I couldn't be there even when I try
You don't believe it, we do this every time
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go

1. Which 80s sitcom used the song "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra as its theme song? (buzzcode: 43) *Bob buzzes in (50)*Bob? Bob: married with childrenPart of the foundation of the Fox Network. You're right. (ding)
Ian: $35
Bob: $40
Danny: $15
2. What process emulsifies the fat in milk? (buzzcode: 46) *Danny buzzes in (40, 1st to respond)*Danny? Danny: Skim(buzzer)Oh no, homogenization. You lose $5, down to $10.
Ian: $35
Bob: $40
Danny: $10
3. In English, it translates to "Beautiful mother" and often means the school you graduated from. What phrase am I talking about? (buzzcode: 16) *Ian buzzes in (39)*Ian? Ian: Alma Mater!That's right! We've got another tie. (ding)
Ian: $40
Bob: $40
Danny: $10
4. What measurement of time is made up of 525,600 minutes? (buzzcode: 25) *Ian buzzes in (47)*Ian? Ian: 60 Hours?(buzzer)No, it's a year. (singing) "525,600 minutes/how do you measure/measure a year?" Back down to $35.
Ian: $35
Bob: $40
Danny: $10
5. Give me the exact next line to this chart topper by Post Malone.
We couldn't turn around till we were upside down
I'll be the bad guy now, but know I ain't too proud
I couldn't be there even when I try
You don't believe it, we do this every time
Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
(buzzcode: 84) *Bob buzzes in (99)*Bob? Bob: hickory dickery dock(buzzer)(canned audience laughs) ....Nope. "Run away, but we're running in circles". That was from "Circles". I hadn't heard that song, either. You're down to $35.
Ian: $35
Bob: $35
Danny: $10
And that sound means it's time for CashCard. Normally, it'll cost you $15 to play, but since Bob and Ian are in a tie for first, we'll have a Silent Auction. More on that later. First, I'll explain how it works. We have four suits and four possible outcomes. One is a $15 "refund", "Take $5" allows you to take $5 from someone else's score and add it to your own, "Prize" gives you this prize.... (the lights dim as Stacey walks out wearing this prize) [JEWELRY CUE]
Burton: (VO) Here comes Stacey with an heirloom ruby pendant necklace!
This classic solitaire pendant features a pear-shaped ruby secured in a prong setting. A brilliant round diamond sits atop the purplish red gemstone. Simple yet alluring, this ruby pendant in platinum is crafted with a lustrous v-bale. Yours with a gift certificate from Angara. Retail value...
(canned audience cheers, the lights come back up) Greg: And then, there's the CashCard, which we are starting at... (I hold up the check) (in my best Geoff Edwards impression) TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS! (canned audience cheers) Ah, but here's where things get interesting. Normally, you'd have to pay $15 to play, but with a tie, we have a Silent Auction. I want each of you to secretly lock in (PM me) how much money you'd be willing to spend to play CashCard. High bid wins. If there's a tie, I'll ask you to bid again. If there's still a tie, nobody gets it. If one person passes and the other bids, the bidder wins. If both pass, nobody gets it. If you're strategic enough, you could get a great deal. So, you have 30 seconds. Lock in your bids now! (the lights dim, a la Jeopardy!, as the two players bid)(Bob and Ian, please PM me your bids or "pass" now) |

(the lights come back up) All right, let's see those bids. We'll start with Ian. What's your bid? $7. A bit less than half off the usual price. Let's see if Bob beats that... 9 dollarss''l''''''l'l';' 'l'''''''l; ''; 'kl'l'' $9. OK, Bob is the winner. We'll take $9 off Bob's score.
Ian: $35
Bob: $26
Danny: $10
Bob, you're in the catbird seat as it were. Chance to either make a profit on your score or make a profit in prizes. Pick a suit, please. |

(Stacey selects the Diamonds icon) Stacey: Good luck, Bob.Greg: Yes, good luck indeed. For $25,000 in cash, Stacey, what's under Diamonds tonight? (Stacey presses a button, and the reels spin)Take $5! (canned audience cheers) So, Bob, now you get to take $5 from somebody else's score and add it to your own. Who do you want to steal from? |

Ian: $30
Bob: $31
Danny: $10
And all of a sudden, you have a $1 lead over Ian. Tomorrow night, our CashCard will be worth $30,000. Back to the questions.
1. In Arthurian legend, who is the illegitimate son of Sir Lancelot?
2. What "army" was founded by "General" William Booth?
3. What game show often features contestants shouting "Big bucks, no Whammies!"?
(buzzcodes and answers, please)
