Welcome to a big 34th game of The Big Risk. Some notes why...
\ Current champ John Coday Hines has won CY$79,299 and three straight games. Should he win tonight's main game, he wins a virtual new car and plays for up to CY$1,000,000 in Go For The Gold.
\ This is Game 34. Unless you played in Game 31, 32 or 33, you're eligible to play.
\ This *likely* will be the last main game of TBR for the year. We usually take a break for the holidays around late November or early December and resume in a new year.
Now time for the qualifying question. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against John. The query...
Time for our version of "The Price *WAS* Right". In the year 2001, if you wanted to stay at Julio Iglesias' home in Acapulco, Mexico, how much money per week would he charge you? Plus respond to the nearest multiple of 1000 U.S. dollars.

To all the girls I've loved -- oh -- hi. Everyone's bids are in. Spending a week in 2001 at Julio Iglesias' home in Acapulco would set you back...
QUALIFYING ANSWER
$52,000
...52-large. Who's the closest?
Andy Silikovitz $52,000It's Andy. Too bad there's no bonus prize for a perfect bid. You and John play against...
Dom Falance $30,000...how ironic. Dom was last here in our 30th episode spectacular and bid 30-grand. Dom, I don't know if that was intentional -- but it worked.
One more TBR for the year -- after this.

Doug: Letters in "True" hide different amounts of cyber-money -- from CY$200 to CY$500. Letters in "False" hide the numbers 1 through 5 with no duplicates.
When it's your turn, you'll pick a letter from each word. Those picks determine the value of each question on your turn -- and how many questions you play.
