Gordon: Gordon Pepper here, and welcome to Password! Chico Alexander, Alex Davis and Don Harpwood will be joining us this evening. Joining us on our TV Screen are two VERY special guests - game show veteran Betty White and Suzie Essman. Betty, who claimed to sleep with the host of Passowrd (and then asked what Regis was doing after the show) is sleeping...er playing with Steve Borzoni. Suzie Essman is the other celebrity, and she's playing with Nadio Wahhab, a bartender and photographer (and aspiring actress who is on imdb.com) Alex: I love Suzie. The sitcom she's in, Curb Your Enthusiasm, is one of the funniest ever, and she's hysterical. Chico: Four rounds. No hyphens. No spaces. No hanging participles. Gordon: What about dangling chads?
Chico: Touch gloves. Let's get it on1 ELIMINATION ROUND

Gordon: Steve gets them all - and Betty's still got it.
Chico: And THAT's why she's the queen.
Don: Nice.
Gordon: Who here wants to see Betty Vs. Rosie O'Donnell?
Chico: Right here.
Don: That would be awesome.
Gordon: Now it's Susie and Nadia's turn.

Gordon: And this is why Betty is the queen.
Chico: Steve leads, 5-4. And now the contestats give the clues.

Gordon: You cant give 2 straight answers? lame-o.

Gordon: But that's ok, because Susie is the other celebrity
Chico: Steve leads, 8-6....Switch'em up! My index fingers are knotted. =p
Gordon: Everybody wants to win a million for somebody
Alex: I want to win it for myself personally

Chico: Damn, Steve!
Don: Wow.
Chico: Cool off, brother.
Gordon: Nadia needs to get at least 8 out of the next 10 to stick around....but really, she needs them all.

Gordon: They get them all
Chico: No one is letting up an inch - and that's just the way you like it.

Chico: Nadia ends with 15. Steve needs 3 for the win...

Gordon: Thats it!
Chico: Who WILL be Steve's partner? That's... that's a good question.
Don: Good question. He got 8 with each partner, from what I can tell...
Gordon: That is true.
Chico: Password continues with Steve... and Susie.
Gordon: BOOOOOO
Chico: That was the last player he played with...and in cases of ties, you play with the last player you played with.
Gordon: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo
Chico: ... urns
Chico: Let's play for a million.

$1,000,000 - 5 of 5 passwords
$250,000 - 5 of 6 passwords
$100,000 - 5 of 7 passwords
$50,000 - 5 of 8 passwords
$25,000 - 5 of 9 passwords; SAFETY NET
$10,000 - 5 of 10 passwords

Chico: And of course, $25,000 is a safety net.
Gordon: If you get there.
Jason: 1st level 5-10
Chico: For $10,000, five passwords out of 10. She's given three clues and ONLY three clues. If the password is missed or passed, it's thrown out, never to be seen again.
Gordon: 5 out of 10. If you can't do that, you don't deserve the money.
Chico: Cashword rules. And 90 seconds per level.

Gordon: Simple enough
Chico: EASY. No reason why we can't continue, so we do so... for $25,000

Gordon: That got a little interesting
Chico: Yeah. Very a little interesting.
Gordon: Betty White would have gotten it quicker :P
Chico: Oh yeah. How could she not get "motor"?
Gordon: $50,000 Freebie. Chico: Continuing on with 50,000..

Gordon: Very well done
Chico: Good show, Steve.
Don: That was quite good.
Chico: Will he play for $100,000, risking the $50,000?
Gordon: Yes he will! One...More...Time! (Spins Press your Luck Board)

Gordon: Stop at BIG BUCKS!
Don: That was tense near the end, there.
Gordon: I sens a quit coming up. But before he does, he gets to see the first 5 word of the next round. He only gets 6 total - and must get 5 right.
Chico: Here are the words. Threshold... brawl.. pliers... whiff... slapstick.
Gordon: Very easy decision here. There's no way I'd play those words.
Alex: Yeah that's a definite quit, without a shadow of a doubt
Chico: What will Steve do? Me, I'd run.
Don: Get out with the $100,000!
Chico: Steve plays it right. He walks with $100,000...
Gordon: ...which makes him the biggest winner in Million Dollar Password History
Chico: Congratulations!
Alex: Is he the biggest winner in Password history, period, now?
Chico: ... I believe he might be. Because, you know, NBC had a cap on winnings.
Alex: Well there we go
Chico: And $100,000 on original Password... unheard of. Back with two new players.
Gordon: Betty gets Karin Freeland
Chico: And Linda Hendrick - That's Susie's partner. Karin's in parm sales. Linda's a minister.
Chico: Only one can play for the million...so let's play!


ELIMINATION ROUND

Chico: Five for five.

Gordon: Tortoise, dummy.
Chico: Turtle.. out of time. Teenage...Mutant...Ninja...Shell...

Gordon: A 5 from Linda would tie the score.

Gordon: And we're tied at 9
Chico: That we are. Switch'em up!
Gordon: First time we've had a tie going into the second half.
Chico: This is so exciting.

Gordon: Speaking of large, a large opening for Betty and Linda, thanks to spending way too much time on music.

Chico: Linda needs 3 to stick around

Gordon: If Betty gets 4, not only do they win, but based on the rules, Betty will be the celebrity moving on.

Gordon: And we have...another tie
Chico: TIED! To break the tie, we play classic Password. First one to answer correctly wins. The password is... THERMOS. Susie... missed. Betty... doesn't
Gordon: And that's why Betty White is the queen of Password.
Chico: Linda and Betty win it.
Don: Nicely played.
Gordon: Now...Linda got 9 with Suzie - and 8 with Betty...UNLESS..the playoffs count, in which case, its another tie.
Chico: And in that case... Betty gets it. And if it doesn't... well, that's just wrong, then isn't it?
Don: Agreed.
Chico: Preview of next week's show... Steven Weber and Shanna Moakler... on the summer's #1 primetime game show. And playing with Linda...Betty.
Gordon: YAY!!!!!!!
Chico: They are playing for a million,.
Gordon: Happy happy time :)
Chico: Starting at $10,000..
Don: Sweet.

Chico: As for highschool, I've seen it spelled all three ways. Doesn't matter in the slightest because they wouldn't have gotten it anyway. But will Linda take the $10,000 and walk or play for $25K.... That's a go.

Gordon: Betty looks so adorable, doesn't she? Like she's terrified of making a mistake - yet she doesn't. lol.
Don: lol
Chico: Some people just know the game... Betty would be said person. Would you agree that this is the best of teh three shows so far?
Don: So far, yeah, I'd agree.
Gordon: So far, yes.
Gordon: I'll agree even more if Betty gets her to the million
Chico: Let's see if Betty can get Linda to $50,000 first...

Gordon: And the Betty chants continue
Don: Whew...
Gordon: Betty's ready to leave
Chico: Next up, 5 out of 7... OR she can play on. Betty's just about had it.
Gordon: ONE...MORE...TIME! (Spins the Press your Luck Board)
Chico: She's giving the face that says "I'm getting too old for this ..."

Gordon: BIG BUCKS!
Chico: That was getting scary!
Don: No kidding!
Gordon: Now does Linda want to go for $250,000?
Chico: I say she takes the money and run, but let's see the words...
Gordon: Betty wants to look, too
Chico: No.
Don: Heh.
Chico: That would be bad.
Gordon: Betty's already shaking her head no.
Chico: The first five... Tick... penthouse... errands... proof... global...
Gordon: Those words...are gettable. I would go for it
Alex: Yeah I think I would too
Chico: I could do this. Betty: "I think she should take it and run like a thief."
Gordon: Betty says take the money and run. Linda...agrees.
Alex: That's a shame. I think those words could be done without a giant amount of trouble.
Chico: So two games, two $100,000 winners. Not a bad night. Time to close up Kaufman-Astoria for now, but we'll be back not THIS Sunday... but NEXT Sunday.
Gordon: For everyone, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over - and spread the word.
