But's that's all right, Ryan. You add CY$500 to your stash...
...bringing your total to CY$5500. Now,...let's see how much you'll play for in the Head-to-Head Super Match.
Each of our hosts were given an envelope during the last break. Each contains a multiplier: two with 20, two with 30 and one with 50. You pick a host you wish to play Head-To-Head with and he'll open his envelope. We'll multiply the CY$500 by that amount...and that's what you'll be playing for. So it'll be either CY$10,000, CY$15,000...or CY$25,000!
(applause)
OK, Ryan...which host do you want to go Head-to-Head with?
I was going to say The Greatest American Hero but I knew it would either not make the board or be the $250 answer. So, I'm going with Chico...
Very well. Chico, open your envelope, please...
20 |
Twenty! That means you'll be playing for...
...ten-thousand cyber-dollars!
(audience applauds)
OK, Ryan...face me, away from Chico. And Chico, get your ESP going. (draws the Super Match card from the stand) Here is the CY$10,000 head-to-head Super Match:
_______ LAKE |
(click link to hear Chris say it...)
<<BLANK>>...LAKE. L-A-K-E. <<BLANK>>...LAKE.
("Super Match" think music as Chico writes his answer...)
(ding!)
OK, Ryan. Chico is locked-in. Time for you to give me the answer you think Chico gave for: <<BLANK>> LAKE.
Man... this is hard... The only thing I can think of is...Black Lake.
(audience awwwwwwwws)
Out of...sheer curiousity, Ryan, where IS "Black Lake"?
There's a Black Lake here in northern Michigan.
OK...I hope Chico has the same grasp of U.S. geography as you do, Ryan. Chico...for ten-thousand cyber-dollars...did you say..."Black Lake"?
Ryan... go with me on this.
Netgame Marathon... Game Show Marathon... Ant & Dec...
No, no, kidding... Anywho, I said...
RICKI |
...Lake.
(BZZZZZZZZ! audience awwwwwwwws)
When I wrote this, I hoped this was the "definitive answer" that you'd both figure out. There were only a few other well-known "Lakes"...like Great Salt Lake or Veronica Lake for the oldies out there.
I'm sorry, Ryan. But...the GOOD news is, you have CY$5500 for you and a lucky "home viewer" AND you are now tied with Chico for the top of the leaderboard midway through the preliminary rounds.
We'll be back for a recap after this.
