GAME SHOW HOST: Welcome back to the Newlywed Game.
Let's say hello again to our contestants.
From Branson, Missouri, John and Abigail Stevens.
And from Flint, Michigan, Ted and Kathy Gorman.
John and Abigail, how long have you two been married?
JOHN STEVENS: We've only been married for six months.
ABIGAIL STEVENS: But we feel like we've known
each other for ever.
[AUDIENCE SIGHS]
GAME SHOW HOST: Ted and Kathy, when did you two tie the knot?
TED GORMAN: Well we just officially married last month
for tax purposes, but we've been living together for over
twenty years.
ABIGAIL STEVENS: I can't imagine.
KATHY GORMAN: No you cannot!
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
GAME SHOW HOST: Now, before the break, the men guessed how
their wives would answer our questions.
Time to find out which couple knows each other the best.
All right.
First question.
The men were asked, what is your wife's favorite color?
Abigail, what do you think John said?
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Well I hope he said violet, because that's
what it is.
JOHN STEVENS: What?
I thought it was coral pink, because you had to get the
iPhone cover in coral pink!
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Just because it looks good on my iPhone
doesn't mean it's my favorite, silly.
[AUDIENCE SIGHS]
GAME SHOW HOST: All right, Kathy.
Your turn.
What do you think Ted guessed is your favorite color?
KATHY GORMAN: Dark brown.
GAME SHOW HOST: Wow!
OK.
One point for Ted and Kathy.
Next question.
Abigail, we asked John, if you took your wife to an amusement
park, which ride would she never go on?
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Well, I get dizzy easily.
So I would never go on the Tilt-A-Whirl!
JOHN STEVENS: Oh, I thought you hated getting wet, so I
said, Log Ride!
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Ha ha, Silly, I love getting wet.
JOHN STEVENS: Oh yeah.
Now that I think about it.
[AUDIENCE SIGHS]
GAME SHOW HOST: OK Kathy, your turn.
What do you think Ted said was the amusement
park ride you'd never--
KATHY GORMAN: It's A Small World.
Little people make me constipated.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: You two really know each other.
OK.
Final question.
We asked the husbands, what is your wife's
favorite comfort food?
Abigail?
ABIGAIL STEVENS: I'm gonna say chocolate frozen yogurt!
JOHN STEVENS: Honey, you love Fig Newtons!
ABIGAIL STEVENS: I do love them!
And I love you too, but I wouldn't wanna eat you.
JOHN STEVENS: I wish you would.
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Ooh!
JOHN STEVENS: Get over here!
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: Ha ha.
Kathy, what is your favorite comfort food?
KATHY GORMAN: Half a cheesecake from the
supermarket and a water glass filled with
Canadian Club whiskey.
And Ted needs to leave the house or I won't enjoy it!
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: Really incredible!
You guys are amazing.
TED GORMAN: Yeah, we're amazing.
GAME SHOW HOST: Ted and Kathy have a commanding lead going
into the lightning round.
John and Abigail, still time to catch up.
Scores are double this around.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: I'll ask each couple a question they will
answer simultaneously.
You play until you get one wrong.
OK, Abigail and John, you're up first.
Let's put 30 seconds on the clock.
And go!
You took your first vacation in--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Barbados!
JOHN STEVENS: The Sierras!
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Silly, the Sierras wasn't a vacation.
I went for work and you tagged along.
JOHN STEVENS: Well we sure acted
like we were on vacation.
ABIGAIL STEVENS: Oooh.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: I'm so lonely.
OK.
Time for Ted and Kathy's bonus round.
Let's put 30 seconds on the clock again, and go!

GAME SHOW HOST: What--

GAME SHOW HOST: Wow!
Really just incredible.
Ted and Kathy, you finished with the first
ever perfect score.
And are today's champions.
Which means you win today's grand prize.
An all expense paid vacation to the remote island paradise
of Petit St. Vincent, in the Grenadines.
For three weeks, you will literally see no-one but your
spouse on this nearly deserted tropical oasis, where there's
nothing to do, except gaze into your lover's eyes.
With no phone, no television, no internet, no distractions
whatsoever.
It's the chance of a lifetime to get to know that special
someone in ways you never imagined.
KATHY GORMAN: Oh god!
TED GORMAN: Kill me.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
GAME SHOW HOST: Thanks for watching.
Good night.
