I'm going to take one final card mate.

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 1:05 AM

Alright, you're continuing on. Curious needs a 10 or face card for the Blackjack Bonus; Armando needs to avoid a 10 or face card at all costs. Very important question now. Carter, Nixon or Reagan; Under which U.S. President was the voting age lowered to 18 years old?

(48 hours)

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 1:45 AM

Buzzcode: 35

1st: Armando (32)
2nd: Curious (50)

[ARMANDO BUZZES IN]

Armando?

Carter.

Not quite, it was ratified under Richard Nixon's administration in 1971. Curious, you've got $100 and a very important decision. Do you want to keep or pass the next card?

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 1:51 AM

Damn I knew it was 1970-ish. That's why, Nixon was from 1968-1972, and 1976-1980, wasn't he?

**CuriousHeartless** · 6th November 2012, 1:52 AM

I'll, uh...I think I will keep it.

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 2:01 AM

^ What did you answer?

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 2:10 AM

Very important card here; $10,000 on the line. Candace, let's see the card.

(she peeks at the card)

(turns around the card...)

Candace, excitedly: IT'S A JACK!

And that's Blackjack; $10,000 and the round!

*CLANGS, WHOOPS, BELLS, ETC.*

Code:

[CURIOUS][ARMANDO]
[ROUND 1][-------]
[--21---][--12---]
[$10,300][---$100]

And that is how you start a new show, ladies and gentlemen. We'll take a quick break before round 2; stick around!

[$10,300][---$100]

Welcome back to our inaugural edition of Gambit. As it stands right now, Curious won Round 1, winning $10,300 in the process. Armando has $100, but there's a chance to come back now.

ANY 21 WINS
$3,000
BLACKJACK BONUS
$10,000

*DING*

Since Curious won the blackjack bonus just a minute ago, that stays at $10,000. We'll throw $500 into the 21 pot to start this round. And with that, we'll begin Round 2, where with any luck, someone will get a question right. Let's see the first card...

Candace: It's an 8.

Middle of the road card; I'd say it's a bad card, but that's a very different TV card game. First question of the round...

Ed Koch, Joseph Wapner, or Judith Guest; Who was the first judge on "The People's Court"?

(48 hours for answer and buzzcode)

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 2:17 AM

^How the **** should I know? Jesus Christ man, I'm a Brit, ask me a TV question concerning British stuff or well known American stuff, not whatever the **** People's Court is? Goddamn, I'm going to randomly answer, but it ain't gonna be right.

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 2:23 AM

BUZZCODE: 90

1st: Armando (81)
2nd: Curious (32)

[BUZZ]

Armando?

Judy whatsherface.

(yes, I am quoting the PMs verbatim)

No! The answer was Joseph Wapner; 12 years presiding over the court. Curious, you get another $100 and you have the option. Do you want to keep or pass that 8?

**CuriousHeartless** · 6th November 2012, 2:29 AM

Calm down dude, you win some, you lose some.

I don't think an 8 is all that great, so I'm passing it to Armando.

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 2:32 AM

Code:

[CURIOUS][ARMANDO]
[ROUND 1][-------]
[---0---][---8---]
[$10,400][---$100]

Not taking any risks with the card; it goes to Armando, who no longer has a chance at the Blackjack Bonus. Next question...

Cuba, Japan, or the United States; Which country took first place in Olympic baseball in 1992 and 1996?

(48 hours; you know what to do)

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 2:42 AM

Buzzcode: 47

1st: Armando (17)
2nd: Curious (78)

[BUZZ]

Armando?

Japan.

(to producer) Make a note of this show.

(audience laughter)

This actually is a bit surprising; it's Cuba. Curious, you've got the option yet again. Do you want to keep the card or pass it?

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 2:44 AM

Well I'm sorry if you continually ask questions only the Yanks can answer.

**CuriousHeartless** · 6th November 2012, 2:52 AM

Now I'm feeling terrible because I am only winning because he doesn't know them. And few of these are 'Yank' questions Armando, no need to be sore.

I'll keep the card.

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 2:57 AM

Let's see it, Candace!

Candace: It's a five.

Code:

[CURIOUS][ARMANDO]
[ROUND 1][-------]
[---5---][---8---]
[$10,500][---$100]

The Blackjack Bonus is entirely out of play for this round. There's still a chance at the 21 Pot, though. Next question...

A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, or Oliver Twist; The phrase "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" begins which Dickens book?

(48 hours)

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 2:58 AM

^ You never answer any of the damn questions though, at least answer one, it's me failing and you reaping the rewards then I give up then Doctor comes poking round my VM profile badgering me why I'm not playing a game which I earnestly forgot.

**CuriousHeartless** · 6th November 2012, 3:07 AM

Fine, you want to know my answers? Not sure if I'm supposed to be telling you, but I've pretty much always given the same answer as you. That is why I felt bad, because luck is the one deciding for you to fail.

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 3:11 AM

Oh OK, so we both don't know the answers, that's cool. I thought you knew everything but I was just failing.

**Doctor Who** · 6th November 2012, 3:14 AM

Buzzcode: 74

1st: Armando (93)
2nd: Curious (1)

[BUZZ]

Armando?

A Tale of Two Cities

And our studiowide nightmare is over!

(applause continues for 15 seconds)

Armando, you pick up $100 for that, and you get to decide what to do with the incoming card.

**Armando Payne** · 6th November 2012, 3:20 AM

I'll keep it.
