Blitz: Sister?
It was actually her mother. And no, we're not going to resort to any of those poor jokes. Anyhow, Curious has $100 and the first option of the day. Curious, you know the options - keep it or pass it?

I've given Blitz two weeks, and still no answer, so I'm giving the $100 and the card to Curious by default. Curious, do you want to keep or pass the card?

Oh, sorry, I keep forgetting this is alive. I'll keep the card.

(Don't apologize, it's not your fault in this case)
Alright, can we have the next card, please?
It's a Queen.
CURIOUS: $300, 12
BLITZ: $0, 8
Now, this may sound like a dumb question, but I have to ask or the S&P department's going to be all over me. Do you want to freeze or keep playing and hope you don't get a 10?

Okay, that's it, I'm kicking Blitz out of the game. Anyone want to replace him?

You'll take his spot, but because he missed the deadline, Curious picks up another $100 and the option. Curious?

I'll keep it (I'm stupidly confident like that).

We'll see if your confidence pays off. Next card...?

1st: Destroyer
2nd: Curious

Destroyer?
Well George Lucas directed Star Wars...and "Starfighters" are from Star Wars... So I'll say The Last Starfighter.
You'd think that'd be a logical deduction, but it's wrong. It was Willow.
Curious, more luck for you, you have ANOTHER $100 and control of the card. I know what's coming... keep the ace or pass?
