Ep 9. Episode 9

Card Sharks is an American television game show that first aired in 1978. The show is hosted by comedian and actor, Joel McHale. The show is based on the classic card game of the same name and involves two players competing against each other by guessing whether a turned-over card is higher or lower than the card before it. The winning player then plays a bonus round for the chance to win additional money.

Season 2 Episode 9 of Card Sharks features two contestants who are both ready to test their luck and win big. The first contestant is a young mother from Arizona who is hoping to win enough money to take her family on a vacation. The second contestant is a retired teacher from Ohio who is looking to add to her retirement fund.

The episode begins with Joel McHale introducing the contestants and explaining the rules of the game. The first round of the game involves a series of questions where the contestants have to guess the percentage of people who answered a particular question a certain way. For example, "What percentage of people said they would rather have a puppy than a kitten?" The contestant who guesses closest to the actual percentage wins control of the cards.

Once a contestant wins control of the cards, they must guess whether the following card is higher or lower than the previous card. If they guess correctly, they continue to play until they either guess incorrectly or decide to stop and keep their winnings. The first player to win two games moves on to the bonus round, where they have the opportunity to win even more money.

In the bonus round, the contestant is given one card to start and must then guess whether the following card is higher or lower. If they guess correctly, they can continue to play and win additional money with each correct guess. If they guess incorrectly, the game ends and they go home with the money they won in the regular game.

As the episode progresses, the tension builds as the contestants get closer and closer to the bonus round. The young mother from Arizona wins the first game, but the retired teacher from Ohio comes back to win the second game. In the final game, the two contestants go back and forth, each winning multiple rounds.

Ultimately, only one contestant can win the game and move on to the bonus round. As Joel McHale reveals the winner, the audience cheers and the contestant looks ecstatic. The winner then takes her place at the bonus round table, and the tension builds once again.

Overall, Card Sharks season 2 episode 9 is a thrilling and entertaining episode that showcases the excitement of the classic card game. With high stakes and intense gameplay, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
