Celebrity Shows
Beginning in Season 3, some episodes featured celebrities with a common bond playing for charity. During these episodes, the first contestant to hit 21 not only won the round but also $500 for their charity (in lieu of the bonus prize) and an additional Power Chip, increasing the maximum possible number of chips to five.

Famous quotes containing the words celebrity and/or shows:
“The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A well-proportioned mind is one which shows no particular bias; one of which we may safely say that it will never cause its owner to be confined as a madman, tortured as a heretic, or crucified as a blasphemer. Also, on the other hand, that it will never cause him to be applauded as a prophet, revered as a priest, or exalted as a king. Its usual blessings are happiness and mediocrity.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
