is a pilot in the Navy. Meet Lieutenant Thom McKee.
[audience applauding]
And his opponent is an administrator
for a therapy program for the handicapped
and she enjoys raising animals.
Meet Laurie Lipton.
[audience applauding]
They do make a nice couple, though.
Fine, thank you.
Nice to see you.
Thank you.
Thom wears the same suit every show but...
There's a reason for that, right Thom?
Oh, poor guy.
Laurie Lipton, an administrator for a therapy program.
Enjoys raising animals. What's your favorite animal?
Little dogs, huh?
I know who said that, too.
Dogs. Any special breed of dog?
Oh, I have an Airedale that I'm particularly fond of.
You have more dogs than one.
Yes, I have a Yorkshire terrier that I've had for 16 years.
Yes, I do.
very much.
Got a good match going on with this guy right here.
And you've gotten to know Lieutenant Thom McKee.
He's our current champion and did you hear
what he's won so far, Laurie?
the last show?
$299,950.
How tacky. All that money.
Eight cars.
Now, you told us what you're gonna do with seven cars.
What will you do with the eighth car?
'Cause we have several people in the audience
who'd love to take one of those cars out of your hands, Thom.
Oh, I tell you. I don't know, Wink. Uh...
to do with two cars.
if you can try
to continue adding another car to that list.
You'll be one car closer anyway,
or one contestant closer if you beat this lady.
wants a car.
Oh, let's see if she can possibly get closer to that car
as we get this game back underway again.
[audience applauding]
You may meet her mother a little later.
She's out there going, "Yes, I do need a car."
Okay, now. In the last show, the game was interrupted
when time ran out. These were the categories
we were playing with in this game.
And here they are:
Great Britain, Famous Actors, Colors, Nick Names, Wild West,
Foreign Words, Disney, Art, and Bobs and Roberts.
This is what the Board looked like
when we had to end up things on the last show:
three Xs for Thom, three Os for Laurie.
The pot, if you'll take a look, is worth $1,300.
And we have three boxes left on the Board.
Let's shuffle and move to you, Thom.
Great Britain, Art, and Colors.
Thom, where would you like to begin as we continue?
Wink, I'd like to go with Great Britain
Britain, it is.
And here is the question. Thom, listen carefully.
It has been over 900 years
since an enemy has successfully invaded England.
This feat was last accomplished by William the Conqueror
in 1066. What was William's nationality?
No, French.
French.
So, let's continue with still $1,300 in the pot.
And we have three boxes left on the Board.
Again, let's shuffle.
Bobs and Roberts, Great Britain and Nick Names.
Laurie, your turn to select.
Alright, I'll take Bobs and Roberts.
Top center, Bobs and Roberts.
Here's your question, Laurie.
This literary Robert
who is the author of such novels
as "Kidnapped" was born in Scotland
but lived much of his life in the South Seas.
Stevenson.
[audience applauding]
Put another O up there on the Board, top center.
And another $200 in the pot.
That takes it up to $1,500.
Two boxes left.
The categories in them will decide what happens
to you in this game. So, let's shuffle.
Foreign Words and Wild West.
Thom, you select.
Oh, I gotta go with Foreign Words on the top right, Wink.
Top right, Foreign Words.
To stay alive, Thom, you must answer this question.
First, take a look at this foreign word.
Now, tell me the colorful meaning of this French word.
Answer it correctly and we will have a tie.
a tie game.
[audience applauding]
Rouge or red.
Tie game. So, an X goes in that box.
We add another $200 into the pot.
It's now worth $1,700.
Now, we will play a new game between you two.
We'll show you nine new categories.
The pot will continue to grow from $1,700.
And, of course, Thom will be playing
for the $300,000 plus mark.
We'll be back in a moment.
