"Big Brother", "The Amazing Race" or "Survivor". The fifth season of which reality show featured twin sisters named Natalie and Adria?
Doug: Deo.
Deo: "The Amazing Race".
Doug: No, sorry, it was "Big Brother". For awhile, one twin was in the house while the other was in hiding. Eddie, dice go to you again.

Doug: And it's a 4 and a 5. CY$900 in the pot. Right now, you're enjoying a CY$1300 lead and we're in Round 5. We've got this, one more round and a catch-up round to go. What do you think?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: Heh. Well, that second roll hasn't really been good for me, but I shall nonetheless press on. Come on dice.

Doug: Wow, a 5 and a 4. Second roll of the round works for you this time, Eddie. You've doubled the pot to CY$1800. Roll forward or bank the 1800?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Eddie: I believe I shall bank.
Doug: Banking another CY$1800
Doug: And as we go to Round 6, Eddie has CY$4700. Deo still at CY$1600. Deo, there's still CY$3000 up there somewhere at the double decision board. So a lucky roll can still make this a new ball game. First, one of you has to get control of the dice. Last question of the game.
Big Mac from McDonald's, Whopper from Burger King or footlong sandwich from Subway. In May of 2011, Don Gorske ate his 25,000th -- what?
Doug: Deo.
Deo: BIG MAC! from McDonald
Doug: Got it. (audience applause) Deo, the dice are hot for you. Let's see if you can narrow the score here.

Doug: Well, gotta start somewhere. CY$300. Roll again or bank?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Deo: I will bank. (audience groans) Just kidding, roll em up.
Doug: Make up your mind, will ya?

Doug: Woah! Deo, you're *really* going to have to make up your mind on this double decision. You've rolled double 5. That means we can add another CY$1000 to the pot...
Doug: ...or you may take whatever's at the double 5 screen on the board. There could be something great such as CY$3000 -- or something not so great as a bust.
Deo: Can I peek what behind it?
Doug: That would be the worst game show ever if we allowed that.
Deo: I wish there isn't any Dirty Harry on the control room. Reveal the Double Decision for me. Final answer.
Doug: By the way, Harry doesn't play on this show. Let's go to the double 5 screen and see if he improves on what could've been CY$1000.
Doug: I assure you Harry didn't even come up with the computer program that shuffles the board.

Doug: Well, folks, it's catch-up time. Deo, you get first roll of the dice. You're going to have to hope to roll a double that leads to something amazing. Now, let's shuffle the board.
Doug: Now Deo, I can assure you we've replaced some surprises and amounts with others. At least one screen hides cyber-money and an extra roll. Another will give you just enough moolah to tie the score.
But remember, a 7 will earn you nothing at all. Anything other than a double or a 7 will give you CY$100 per point -- but will also give Eddie the game by default. Let's see if you can get lucky with a double.
|
Doug: Woah boy. Double 3. Now Deo, I'd normally ask if you want to bank CY$600 or take what at double 3 on the board. Banking 600 would result in an instant loss -- so we have to default to the double decision board and see what's there.
Doug: Double your score. (audience groans) Good surprise but bad time to find it. It's not enough to take the lead. Eddie Timanus wins again.

Doug: Deo, some tough luck here at the end. But this is just your first loss. As you know, we're taking our holiday break soon -- so you and Eddie will play in the first Hot Dice game of the new year. So we'll wish you and the loved ones you treasure a joyous holiday season.
For now, CY$3200 to Deo's credit. A nice hand for Deo.
Doug: Eddie, let's see if the dice get hotter for you in the next Bonus Bonanza. He ran into all sorts of rotten luck last time out. He's got three gold coins and could win CY$50,000 at any time -- right after this.
