00:00For $15,000, Walter Sylvester, what is it?
00:09Worry wart.
00:10That's what I was when I was a kid.
00:17For $15,000 in cash, Chris Baker, what is it?
00:20Giant economy size.
00:23Rose Marie, Charles Nelson Reilly, Abby Dalton, and Stuart Damon, all with a game that's
00:41just over their heads.
00:43All-Star Blitz!
00:45All-Star Blitz!
00:47All-Star Blitz!
00:50And here is the master of the Blitz board, Peter Marchos.
00:55Thank you, John Holland.
00:56Welcome once again to All-Star Blitz.
00:58Hello, stars.
00:59We love you, Peter.
01:01We love you.
01:03I love all of you.
01:04You know that.
01:05We've known each other, all of us in the panel.
01:06What a nice thing this week.
01:07I don't know you, Don.
01:08I met you yesterday, though, and you've done wonderfully.
01:10Well, Don is our current champion.
01:12He's a school administrator in Fullerton, California.
01:15He's won, let me see, what did you win?
01:17A trip?
01:18A trip to Jamaica.
01:19Not bad, huh?
01:20Not bad.
01:21What else?
01:22Not bad.
01:23Some rackets, a jogging suit, and a gold ring, I think.
01:25Don Morrison, your lucky puppy.
01:27Yes, all righty.
01:28We met Esther yesterday.
01:29Hi, Peter.
01:30Now, Esther, what do you do?
01:31I'm a part-time student in the evenings, and I'm a housewife.
01:35In the daytime?
01:36Right.
01:37And you have a 14-year-old daughter?
01:38Yes, I do.
01:39And her name?
01:40Ashley.
01:41This is Esther Ellis, Ashley's mom.
01:42Yes.
01:43She's won one game.
01:44Don has won one game.
01:45Whoever wins this game will buy for $15,000 in cash.
01:47Object for the players is to solve a puzzle by uncovering clues on the six screens,
01:51figure out what is hidden there.
01:52It's always a common expression.
01:53First one to win two games wins the match,
01:55and a prize they will love worth $3,100,
01:57and a chance, as I stated, as the blitz bonanza.
01:59When a box is surrounded by stars, our players are in clues.
02:02We show the whole money has been out to players.
02:04How many words are in the phrase?
02:05Always begin with four free stars.
02:06Esther, you begin this game.
02:07If you lost the last game of the match, pick a star.
02:09Good luck to the both of you.
02:10A rosemary at the top, please.
02:12So there's two of you.
02:13Roe, you're a horse, and you have...
02:15What, what, what, what?
02:16You're a horse.
02:17That's terrible.
02:18No, no, this is a hypothetical question, my love.
02:20You're a horse, and you have the letter A tattooed on your lip.
02:24What does that mean?
02:26Available.
02:27That horse is available.
02:31No, I think that you're an Arabian.
02:34I'll agree with that.
02:35No, you have reacted positively to test for swamp fever.
02:40Charles Nelson Reilly.
02:42Why didn't you know that?
02:43Charles, where in the universe would you find the great red spot?
02:48The great red spot?
02:50In the universe.
02:52On Jupiter.
02:54On Jupiter.
02:55I agree.
02:56It's a storm larger than the Pacific Ocean
02:58that's been raging for centuries.
03:00On Jupiter.
03:01Here is the phrase.
03:02Take a look.
03:03Not much.
03:04Take a star.
03:05Wow.
03:06Abby Dalton in the middle, please.
03:08Some nights, the great statesman Ben Franklin
03:11would sit naked in front of an open window
03:14and let night breezes blow on him.
03:17Why would they let the night breeze blow on him?
03:20Oh, Ben Franklin.
03:21Mrs. Franklin had a headache.
03:23No, it made him sleepy.
03:30It made him sleepy.
03:31I'll agree with that.
03:32That's right.
03:33Continue.
03:34Abby Dalton, the top.
03:37Do you remember better if you read something
03:39or if someone tells you something?
03:42I remember better if you read it.
03:45I agree with that.
03:46I do, too, but they don't.
03:47If someone tells you.
03:49It's like if I drive someplace, I can remember,
03:51but if I'm a passenger, I never can remember how to get back there.
03:53Back to you, Abby.
03:55What did Marilyn Monroe do?
03:57Marilyn Monroe, what did she do for nine months in 1954?
04:01She was married to Joe DiMaggio.
04:03I agree.
04:04It was a brief marriage.
04:05That is correct.
04:06Here is the clue.
04:07Take a look.
04:08For the star.
04:09I'll go still gaming at the top.
04:11According to author and scientist Desmond Morris,
04:14what is probably the most common crime in the whole world?
04:18Crime.
04:19Theft.
04:20Theft.
04:21I'll agree with that.
04:22That is right.
04:23This could do it for you.
04:24You have to take a look.
04:25I'll take a guess.
04:26Another guess.
04:27The night is still young.
04:28The night is still young.
04:30Another guess.
04:32No?
04:33I'll have to take a star.
04:34Charles Nelson writing in the bottom place.
04:36At the bottom there, sure.
04:38The Vatican newspaper once asked this question,
04:41where is a woman's place?
04:43And then they answered it.
04:45According to the Vatican newspaper,
04:46where is a woman's place?
04:48Have they moved it?
04:50Where is a woman's place?
04:53It's always in the home.
04:55In the home.
04:56I agree.
04:57In the home.
04:58In the home.
04:59All right, take a look.
05:03I like it.
05:04I'll take a guess.
05:05All right.
05:06The night is young.
05:07The night is young.
05:08And you're...
05:09Oh!
05:10You were going to guess the night is young.
05:16All righty.
05:17We have another championship try for Don Morrison.
05:19This time, you're going to buy for $15,000.
05:21Esther, good try, my dear.
05:22Oh, it's fantastic.
05:23Thank you, Star.
05:24We have a lovely partner here.
05:25Take a look at the board.

11:48A lot of women feel that way.
11:49Does he think he's a better lover?
11:50No, I don't think so.
11:51No, he doesn't?

12:46All right.
12:47Big shock.
