Double Talk - Bonus Round

Bonus Round

The contestant chose whether to give or receive clues prior to the start of the round. The giver attempted to get the receiver to say nine common phrases within 60 seconds by asking questions whose response was the common phrase.

The receiver was shown the initial letters of each word in the common phrase (e.g., "G________ C_________"). The giver viewed the entire common phrase on a monitor out of the receiver's line of sight, then provided an open-ended phrase with the desired response as a result (e.g., for "George Carlin", the giver might say "He's a comedian who listed the seven words you can't say on television, and his name is...").

Givers could pass a phrase if they were stuck. If the giver used their hands or said a key word in the common phrase (as an illegal clue), that phrase was disqualified and the chance at $10,000 was forfeited.

Each correct answer revealed a letter on the game board in the show's title. At the start of the round, the D in "Double" was revealed and the team attempted to reveal the remaining nine letters in the logo. If they were successful, the contestant won $10,000. Otherwise, the contestant won $100 for each letter revealed, including the D given at the onset of the bonus round.
