SAT-UR-DAY
"Hey welcome back to your Takeover", said Flynn as he and Esmeralda were going backstage, "What an amazing segment we had with giving people places on the plane for the Grand Finale
"Yes, very amazing and very great indeed, but still to come, someone lucky in the audience could win a lot of prizes in 'Win Them All", said Esmeralda
"That's right, but for right now we are heading to a new game that's not even in the studio"
"And someone here could win some plane tickets plus a little bit of cash on the side"
"That's right, Esme…everyone, welcome to HotShot!", said Flynn when they reached the outside area that showed off a basketball court, and the crowd cheered
"Yes, this looks very exciting and all, but we need somebody to play it…", said Esmeralda
"You're right, how are we gonna get someone to play this game?"
Hello, you two
"Oh look it's the Supercomputer", said Flynn
"Supercomputer, what are you doing out here…how did you get out here?", asked Esmeralda
Well to answer your first question, I'm here to help you pick a contestant for your game, to answer your second question…I'm not really sure myself
The audience chuckles at the comment
"Okay, then I'm assuming that you have photos of our audience members here tonight that you will run through and when I yell 'STOP', you'll stop", said Flynn
Yep
"Ok, let's not waste any more time, the Supercomputer is randomizing right now…"
The audience waits in suspense
"Supercomputer…STOP…Anthony Moran, where are you, Anthony?"
Anthony pops out of his seat and high-fives a few people before a member of the crew comes to lead him to the backlot area of the studio
"Alright, as Anthony gets mic'd up and makes his way outside, let's explain the rules…four shots will be made: a layup, a free throw, the three-pointer, and the half-court shot. On the first attempt money is worth $5,000, second attempt, $2,500, and third attempt $1,000. If they waste all three attempts on a basket, the game is over.", says Esmeralda
"Now the half-court shot has different rules because they only get one attempt at the shot, if they miss they lose everything, but if the shot is good then they get to keep all their winnings, plus a place on the plane for them and their friends and family", continued Flynn, "Alright here comes Anthony, hello"
"Hello", said Anthony
"Are you nervous?"
"Kinda"
"Kinda, ok, are you good at basketball?"
"Sorta"
"Alright, just relax, we are all rooting for you, you are going to start with the layup, rules were explained backstage to you, whenever you are ready…here we go"
Anthony goes for the layup attempt number one and he does not make it in
"That's okay Anthony, you have another attempt, good luck", says Flynn
Anthony goes for the layup attempt two and he makes it in
"Great job, you got yourself $2,500, now do you want to keep going for more money Anthony for the free throw or walk away with the money you have now…stay or play?, asked Esmeralda
Some of the crowd were chanting 'STAY' while others were chanting 'PLAY'
"I think that I am going to stay with the $2,500"
"Alright people he is staying with the money, everybody give it up for Anthony", said Esmeralda
SAT-UR-DAY
Esmeralda and Flynn meet in front of the court
"Amazing for him, really hope he enjoys that money", says Flynn
"Me too", said Esmeralda, "let's check back in the studio with Eric to hear his thoughts, Eric?"
The video shows Eric with a mini basketball hoop in his booth
"Um…Eric?", asks Flynn
"Oh hey you two, what's up?"
"When did you have time to set up a mini basketball hoop?"
"Oh this, yeah I just needed this to pass the time, as with the game you two just played with Anthony…$2,500 is good money"
"Alright, fair enough…what's happening next?"
"Well we were interrupted by some breaking news, gave some places on the plane to some nice people, and shot a basketball for some cash, now get ready as someone in the audience has a chance to with cool and amazing prizes on 'Win Them All"
"See ya after the break" Flynn
