[goldroadfanatic]

(applause)(We Wish You A Merry Christmas)

Contestants not appearing on stage will receive: A collection of watches!  From Swatch, four watches from the Urban Expression collection.  Each watch has its own unique appearance and looks chic in today's fashionable society!  And a new set of inline skates!  From Rollerblade, the men's Spark 84 skates are well-designed and anyone can enjoy riding them from beginner to expert.  Features polyurethane wheels and velcro straps to secure a proper fit!  And now, here's goldroadfanatic with our showcase showdown!



Thank you, George!  I'm standing next to three pricing game winners: Shatter won a new car, cu won a new jukebox, and Schfifty won some great prizes.  All three of them want to win $26,000 today, but only if they score $1.00 in one spin or a combination of two spins and land on the dollar again in their bonus spin.  Schfifty, you'll set the pace, good luck!

The first spin of the second showcase showdown is underway.  And it appears to be looking good!  Come on down!  Come on down!

(beep)



One dollar!



DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING (cheers and applause)(Dig We Must 2007)



Nice job, Schfifty!  You scored a dollar and you've just won $1,000!  You'll have a bonus spin later, but let's see if anyone will join you.  Spin the wheel, cu!

(beeps)

cu already won a jukebox and needs to tie one dollar to stick around.  In his first spin, he has...

(beep)



One dime, spin again, cu!

(beeps)

We're looking for 90 cents to tie, and here it comes, but there it goes.

(beep)



cu, thanks for being on the show and Happy New Year.  Now it's time for Shatter to spin!

(beeps)

Shatter won himself a new car in Spelling Bee and would love to have some gas money.  And he might tie Schfifty!  Come on down! Come on down!

(beep)



Oh, so close!  You have a nickel to build on, go for 95, Shatter!

(beeps)

Will Shatter get 95 cents and tie?  There it goes and it won't come around again...

(beep)



Enjoy that new car, Shatter, that was an exciting win.  Now, come back here, Schfifty!

(Resets wheel to 5)

You're going to have a bonus spin.  Be sure to get the wheel around at least once or else it won't count and you won't spin again.  You'll win an additional $10,000 for a green section, and $25,000 for the dollar.  Good luck!

(Please submit a number from 1 to 20).

[Schfifty]

I'll go with my favorite number.....7!

[goldroadfanatic]

(beeps)

And away the wheel goes!  There goes the three lucky spots and I don't think they'll come around again...

(beep)
