Card Sharks Plus Show #7 - JDGA vs ???

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Higher.

[dad90]

Higher than a 4...



Oh no!

(Buzzer, Audience Groans)

A Deuce quickly stops you in your tracks, NotAJumbleofNumbers. So you go back to the 4...



...and JDGA, that means that you get a free shot at the 7, but you must play this one. What's the call here?

[JDGA]

Higher!

[dad90]

Higher than a 7...



Oh dear!

(Buzzer, Audience Groans)

It has happened to you as well. We have to take that away as well, and Rias and Momoyo, replace those cards lost, if you please.



Those cards are now in place. Thanks, Rias and Momoyo. Now, we're now at our 4th and final question for Game #1, which means it's time for...



That's right. It's time for Sudden Death, where someone has to win it on this important play of the cards.

The question goes to the challenger.

NotAJumbleofNumbers

...we've asked 100 women--

Have you ever called your married boyfriend and hung up when his wife answered?

How many of them have hung up the phone when your lover's wife have answered the call?

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

43.

[dad90]

(ding)

43 out of 100 women will hang up when the wife picks up the phone. What do you think of this, JDGA?

[JDGA]

Lower?

[dad90]

Going lower...



(ding)

This will determine control of the board.

The actual number of women who have hung up the phone when they realized that their boyfriend's wife has answered the call for him is--



(Ding x3 - Applause)

35. JDGA is right. It is lower.



Now JDGA, here we are in a Sudden Death situation. This is where you have an important decision to make.

You have a 7. You need 3 cards to win the game. If you play, you are allowed to change the 7 since you've won the question. Keep in mind, though. If you make a mistake this time, then NotAJumbleofNumbers will the game.

If you want, you can pass control over to NotAJumbleofNumbers, but he can change the 4 as well with the BONUS BAR. However, if he makes a mistake, then you win the game.

So what are you going to do, JDGA? Play or pass?

[JDGA]

I'll pass.

[dad90]

OK, NotAJumbleofNumbers, JDGA has passed control over to you. You have the option to change the 4, but it'll cost you the BONUS BAR. Also, this is the only time to change the card, otherwise you have to play the 4 and the next card without making a mistake. What are you going to do?

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

HIGHER

[dad90]

OK, so here we go. You've decided to play the 4, and you're going higher. Higher than a 4....



Got it with a 9.

(Ding)

Now NotAJumbleofNumbers, you must play off the 9 as you cannot change this one. If you get it right, you'll win Game #1, and the right to play the Run for the Money mini-bonus game for a shot at $10,000.

If not, JDGA will win Game #1 and play the mini-bonus game.

What's the call here, NotAJumbleofNumbers?

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

lower

[dad90]

If this card is lower than a 9, then you will win Game #1, and will play the Run For the Money mini bonus game. Is it?


























































































































Yes it is, and Game #1 goes to NotAJumbleofNumbers!

(Winning Bell Sounds; Game Win Cue; Cheers and Applause)



NotAJumbleofNumbers, you got $500 for winning Game #1, and that also means that you have the right to play "Run For the Money"!







NotAJumbleofNumbers, this is your first time here, so let me explain how this works.

This works like the Hi-Lo Showdown earlier in the show, but we're playing for more cash. Here's the payout table.

Payouts:
Base Card: No Money for it
2nd Card: $300
3rd Card: $400
4th Card: $800
5th Card: $1,000

Now, a new deck of 52 playing cards has been shuffled and cut from our staff before the show, and the first 5 cards have been placed on board by Rias and Momoyo. Now, any money that you accumulate in this bonus game is yours to keep, no matter what happens, but if you call all 4 cards correctly, not only you'll have $2,500 added to your score, but you'll also win the RUN FOR THE MONEY Jackpot, in which it's now at:

RUN FOR THE MONEY JACKPOT:

$10,000

$10,000!

(audience cheers)

Here's your base card, NotAJumbleofNumbers.



It's an 8. Now, like the Hi-Lo Showdown, you can't change the card, and you can't freeze. This first call is for $300.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Lower.

[dad90]

And here we go. For $300, lower than an 8...



Correct with a 6.

(Ding)

One down, 3 to go. This call is for $400.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Higher.

[dad90]

For $400, higher than a 6...



Oh no!

(Buzzer, Audience Groans)

Well, unfortunately, you can't win the $10,000, but you can win more money with 2 more cards.

You got a very nice card with a Deuce. Get this call right, and you'll win $800.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Higher

[dad90]

Let's get some ground back. For $800, higher than a Deuce...



Right with a King!

(Ding)

You're now at $1,100, and this last one is for $1,000. What's it going to be?

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Lower

[dad90]

Let's see if you're right. For $1,000, lower than a King...



Nope!

(Buzzer; Audience Groans)

So, you got 2 right, for a total of $1,100. Now, on our next show, if anyone goes all the way, they'll win the RUN FOR THE MONEY Jackpot, which now goes to...

RUN FOR THE MONEY JACKPOT:

$15,000

$15,000!

(audience cheers)

So, JDGA has $450, and NotAJumbleofNumbers has the BONUS BAR, $2,600 and the first Game. JDGA has to win Game #2 to tie things up. We'll be back with more of Card Sharks Plus after this!

(Cheers and Applause)

DK: Welcome back to Card Sharks Plus. At the end of Game #1, our challenger NotAJumbleofNumbers has won the first game and $500 plus another $1,100 from the Run for The Money mini-bonus game. Our champion JDGA will try her luck at forcing the match to a tie ballgame.



And during the commercial break, Rias and Momoyo have placed the next 5 cards from the top of the decks and onto the board for both players. Game #2 now begins with our first question.

JDGA

....we've asked 100 people who have been fired from their job--

"When your boss called you in to fire you, did you think he was calling you in to give you a raise?"

How many of them say they had assumed their boss would give them a raise, but gotten fired?

[JDGA]

o_o
It'd have to be for like... layoffs, right?
