Well, this is getting interesting. Bob, you've got a watch, a bedroom, and a Jeep in your bank. Win the game, and they're yours. That'll bring your total to just a shade over 72-grand.

1 year, 3 years, or 5 years..... What is the average lifespan of the hummingbird?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 61)

*Bob buzzes in (54)*
Bob?
Bob: one year
No, it's 5 years.

James, control is yours. You have an Insurance Marker. 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 are good rolls. What do you want to do?

[jman8606]

I will roll one more time! Come on 7! I want the KFC!

[palmer7]

James wants that chicken, does he get it?

(James rolls the dice)

Nope, he gets a 5.

Good rolls are 6, 7, and 8.


Talkin' baseball for a minute. What businessman served as manager of the Atlanta Braves for one game in 1977? Was it Donald Trump, Ted Turner, or Merv Griffin?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(bump for Bob)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 92)

*James buzzes in (43)*
James?
James: Ted Turner

That's right and you have control. Heh heh, Merv Griffin managing a baseball team. James, both you and Bob have an Insurance Marker. 6, 7, and 8 are the only good rolls left, and I would not suggest leaving that one on the board. Roll or pass?

[jman8606]

They're all yours bob!

[palmer7]

OK, Bob, the only number that will not clear a column is a 6. And like I said before, I would not suggest leaving the one up there because then we go to a Sudden Death question to determine who wins the game. So, roll those dice!


(Bob rolls the dice)

Well, you rolled an easy six, so let's get rid of the 6.

Comes down to this, folks. Control is important. If you roll an 8, you'll win the game and over $37,000 in prizes. If you roll a 7, then we go to a Sudden Death question. The winner of that Sudden Death question wins the game. Don't roll a 7.

Riverside, Riverdale, Riverton.... What is the name of the high school attended by Archie Andrews and his comic-book friends?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 64)

*James buzzes in (94)*
James?
James: Riverdale

Exactly right.

James, you have an important decision to make. If you roll an 8, you'll clear both columns and win over $37,000 in prizes, including that Kentucky Fried Chicken you want so much. If you roll a 7, you'll leave the 1 in Column 3 and we go to Sudden Death. Anything else, and you might have to use that Insurance Marker. The only really good roll is an 8.

Do you want to roll or pass?

[jman8606]

They are all yours bob!

[palmer7]

All right, Bob. Roll an 8, and you'll have swept the board. Roll a 7, we go to sudden death. Anything else, and I'll have to take that Insurance Marker. We want an 8!

(Bob rolls the dice)

11. Bad roll, I'll take that Insurance Marker. (I take the Marker as the dice come back) We want an 8, Bob.


(Bob rolls the dice)

Easy four, bad roll!

[BAD ROLL]


James wins Game #1!

[GAME WIN]

[      ]     [       ]


And just like that, James, you've won Game #1 and $500. Your thoughts, sir?

[jman8606]

Whew! I thought I was not going to make it! I hope I win the chicken in re next gane!
