Doug: OK, Chico has a bad feeling about this next card and freezes at seven grand. The others don't. So -- let's see that next card.

 

(dings; audience applause)

Doug: That's a winner.

Doug: Now, Andy, Brian, before we turn over the third card, remember the blitz rule. If you risk on every card, every card turns up a winner and you *then* win the game later, you'll play Go For The Gold, our bonus round, for a top prize of CY$1,000,000.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Question is -- how confident do you feel about the rest of the board? And are you willing to risk thousands on just the next card alone? Freeze or risk?

Doug: Woah boy. Two players taking a big risk. If it pays off, we pay Andy another ten-grand and Brian another six-grand. Let's see the third card.

 

(dings; audience cheers)

Doug: Queen's higher than a 9.

Doug: Wow. Andy, Brian, this is going to turn into a game of chicken, I sense. If you both decide to risk and the next card's not a 7, 8, 9 or Joker, Andy wins another 20-grand and Brian wins 12-grand.

But if you risk and the next card is a loser, the only two people who will be happy about it all are Chico and Harry.

Once again -- freeze or risk?

(most of the audience encourages a risk)

(those who encouraged the risk groan)

Doug: They're freezing. All right. Well, they're not happy with your decisions. But, personally, I don't think I could bet more than 10-grand on the turn of a card. Let's crunch some big numbers.

 

 

 

ANDY
CY$23,200

 
 
BRIAN
CY$12,500

Doug: Andy's our leader after two full rounds with CY$23,200. Brian in second with CY$12,500. Chico in third with CY$7000.

Now, before we go to break, curious soul that I am, I just have to wonder -- would the fourth card have been a winner? Let's see.

 

(audience groans)

Doug: Jack of Clubs was a winner. Now, if you recall, Brian was a player with us last season and managed to risk on every card in one Five-Card Risk and won every time. Could he have repeated that feat if he went on? Could anyone else have done the same?

Let's find out...

Doug: Why the heck not? We still have more show left. Let's take the Seacrest route, eh?
