Three of diamonds, Chris.
No ten-pointer THIS time. Here's the question, guys:

Oh, really? Nice. "Castle" and "Kiki" was released before the category was made.
Take or pass?
Jay: I'll take the mystery card please
Well, since you said "please", show it, Deej...

Eight of diamonds.
Ah, good...prevented Chico from getting 11...

And the next card is...

Jack of hearts.

Howe was #2 and Orr #3...but Wayne was at the top, eh?
Take or pass?
Chico: Well, the good news is that one of the 8s is out of play, but still, a 13 is dangerous stuff, so let's pass.
I dunno...we've yet to see an Ace, either. Deej, what is Chico giving to Jay?

Six of hearts.
Bad news: that coulda given you 19, Chico. GOOD news:

...it gives Jay an EQUALLY hard hand of 14. This...is getting interesting. Next question:

Jay: That was On the Mark
Correct! (applause)
The other two...didn't last too long.
Take or pass, Jay?
Jay: Um...Y'know I think I gotta pass. Too many cards that'll bust me out.
True dat. A 9 or any 10 and you go up 2-to-1. An 8...and CHICO goes up AND gets the Jackpot. Deej?

Four of diamonds.
Ooooooooooo...

...Chico has 17. How about it, Chico?
Chico: 17's a 17... I've gotta freeze it.

OK, Jay, this question will define the game:

|
1976 |
Jay: WW3 got its kicks in '66
Correct! (applause)
Oh, the mushrooms were sprouting in England that lovely day.
TAll right. A 4, 5 or 6 win put you in the lead. A 7 will win the game. Anything higher and Chico wins...anything lower and we continue. Show the card, D. J.:

SEVEN OF DIAMONDS!
TWENTY-ONE!!!
(DINGDINGDINGDING sfx; applause)

I dare say you lucked out there, Jay. You won Game 3, you earned a bonus of CY$7500 and you're now one game away from moving on to the Netgame Marathon Championship. Chico, you have a chance to send it to a Game 5 when we return after this.
