GSN Radio Today: I followed Frogman

[Timsterino]

I followed Frogman on GSN Radio today! Great job Jay today on 5th caller! I won $100 on Celebrity Head. That makes $400 total I have won so far. You can win once per day.

I know Goongas has won a great amount of money as well. I recommend all BBs call in if you can. You can enter 25 times per day via phone and 25 times per day via http://www.gsn.com/radio . When they call you it shows up as 000-000-0000 on your phone.

GSN Radio is on from 1:00pm EST to 5pm EST Monday - Friday.

Frogman will defend his title tomorrow.

Congrats, Eric! I was called at the last minute today and had just gotten home.

What the heck is a money list?

[goongas]

A money list is a list that belongs to a subject. The subject today was Stephen King works. Then in a particular hour, they give you five works every few minutes until they have given out twenty. Then at the end of the hour you have to tell them the works that they said. It creates an incentive for people to listen to the show, even though the contestant is notified before the list comes out that he or she will be playing.

Tim, that is so cool that you followed me. I wish I heard you but right after my game ended I had a conference call for work so I missed the last half hour of the broadcast. Congrats on your win.

I did hear the Money List win, didn't know that was goongas, though - congrats as well.

The Money List game (as far as I understand it, I may have gotten the details wrong since I only just started listening) is to reiterate a list of items that they had early given at various points in the broadcast, 5 at a time at. So you have to listen since they don't repeat each segment. Today it was a list of Stephen King titles. From what I seemed to figure out is that if they call you to play you state at the top how many you know and I believe you have to give the answers in the same order that the listed them (I'm not sure about that), in addition, I think you have to get all the titles that you declare you know and I think you get $5 for each correct response. So goongas went 20 for 20 and got $100 for his efforts - I guessing that if you don't get all the ones you claim you can get you get nothing - but that is also just a guess.
(edit - Goongas, thanks for filling in the details on the Money List - I didn't know that you would know you were playing prior to the list being broadcast).

If you are wondering about the game I got selected to play, it is called 'Are you smarter than the 5th caller' - it involves 3 rounds and 2 players - a reigning champion and a challenger who is called the 5th caller - although they call you to play. The challenger goes first and gets a question, if they want they can try to answer it cold for 3 pts or get a list of 3 choices for 1 pt. The 2nd round is the same and the last round the point value doubles - 6 pts for a correct answer without the list 2 pts to select from the choices. High score wins - ties go to a tiebreaker toss-up question. The winner gets $100 and the chance to play the same game again the next day. I will be playing again tomorrow just after 3:20 pm Central time.

I did have an unusual situation, my first game yesterday the current reigning champion could not be reached so that had two new players - I was put in the challenger role. By winning yesterday I didn't get to be the champion because today I actually played against the current champion who was on a 5 day winning streak - going for 6. So as of now, even though I've won twice, it is the first time that I'm consider the current champion.

You can give them the money list in any order, and yes, if you declare 20 and only give them 19 correct, you win nothing.

Congratulations, you guys!

Sounds like fun. Now I'll be trying to figure out how to jump onto this wagon.
