Well, James, the GameStop stock is yours. (audience reactions) Now, now, I know what you're thinking. The value may have gone down since the taping of this show. Well, we're taping this in advance, so the value will be based on the price at the end of business on the day of taping, and if that happens to buy more stock, that's even better. And you never know, it could go up.

James, I also have to tell you that if you get three Wild Cards, not only do you get $1,000 in cash, but you also get one step towards every available prize plus three you can use however you like. You could end the game with four prizes right now, if you get three Wild Cards. (audience cheers)

(the reels spin)

So, stop the reels when you're ready.

[jman8606]

Come on Wild Cards!

Could you use some scuba gear, James?

Well I might take up scuba diving

That's right, you're going to take that scuba gear whether you like it or not. Kyle.... you've got a lot of catching up to do, that's for sure. Next question.


CURRENT EVENTS/POLITICS
GEOGRAPHY
HISTORY


Now, this is a very interesting question.

If you were going to be a contestant on Jeopardy!, name a subject you'd study.

James: Current Events/Politics

<CURRENT EVENTS/POLITICS>
GEOGRAPHY
HISTORY


Kyle, agree or Second Guess?

[captainfortune]

Let's second guess and go with geography.

CURRENT EVENTS/POLITICS
<GEOGRAPHY>
HISTORY


You were right to second guess, but you went the wrong way.

(wrong answer)
(audience groans)


CURRENT EVENTS/POLITICS
GEOGRAPHY
[HISTORY]


It was history. James gets two spins, and he could end the game at any moment.

(the reels spin)

Just want to warn you that now, should you get a dead spin, and there may be a distinct possibility, your opponent gets a free spin. (I've just decided this today.) So, stop those reels when you're ready, and good luck.

[jman8606]

STOP!

[palmer7]

(James stops the reels)


[GAMESTOP STOCK]
[?????????]
[?????????]


GameStop stock.

GameStop stock again, uh oh....

Considering you already have the GameStop stock....

Welcome back to Second Guess. I just want to clarify the rule that I'd mentioned at the bottom of last segment. Starting today, any time a contestant gets a dead spin during the main game, their opponent automatically gets a free spin. If the dead spinner had two spins or one spin, it doesn't matter. The dead spinner loses control and we give the opponent one spin. We figured it was only fair. So now, you should do everything you can to avoid dead spins.

James so far has three prizes, and you at home can see the total of our two players at the top of the screen. Our studio audience can see it on monitors, but the players and I don't know what the scores are. It'll be up to both James and Kyle to keep track of everything James has won so far. Let's take a look at the prizes for Game 2.

[BOARD LOADING #2]


[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][NEW KITCHEN][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][BEDROOM SET][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][KENTUCKY DERBY][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][WATCH][ ][ ]
[ ][TRACK RACER][ ]


Prize #1, a track racer. Above that, a ladies' or gentleman's watch. Third rung on the ladder, that trip to the Kentucky Derby James wanted. (audience laughs) Four steps gets you a new bedroom set. And the top prize this round, a set of kitchen appliances. All total, this game has prizes totaling $55,686. (audience cheers)

And in this game, we're playing until four prizes are claimed, with the customary intermission report after two prizes. Kyle, you've got a lot of catching up to do, but you can do it. Let's get started. Hands on buzzers, here we go.


BUY GAS
SAVE IT
BUY FOOD


If you were down to your last five dollars, what would you do with it?

(buzzcode and answer, please)

James?
James: Buy Food

(ding)


BUY GAS
SAVE IT
<BUY FOOD>


Kyle, do you agree with buy food, or do you want to Second Guess?

[captainfortune]

I'm not letting him spin again, so I'm going with buy gas.

[palmer7]

(ding)


<BUY GAS>
SAVE IT
BUY FOOD


Audience, what do you think of that answer?
(audience boos)

They seem to disagree with you, Kyle. And they have every reason to, because the #1 answer-- what do you think the #1 answer is?

(audience shouts suggestions, most of which are "buy food") They're all saying "buy food", which indeed is the #1 answer!


BUY GAS
SAVE IT
[BUY FOOD]


(wrong answer)
(audience who was right cheers)

That's the first time I've ever heard the audience cheer when they heard that sound. Kyle, let me tell you... this has just not been your day, has it?

(the reels spin)

James, here comes spin #1 for you. Fire when ready.

[jman8606]

I want that Kentucky Derby trip! STOP!
