Hooters features new game show
As I was away last week and still am, on a much-needed vacation, my column somehow got lot lost in cyber space. But as it still holds up this week, I am trying it again. Hopefully you will be able to read every word in another Pulitzer prize-winning column. OK, so maybe I haven't won one yet, but maybe if I keep begging, they're relent.
Okay, on to more interesting things, which means I won't be talking about Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, her skinny, pregnant girlfriend, whatever her name is, or Britney Spears, so you can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Feel like getting hit over the head, but all in good fun? Then BONK might be just what you're looking for. All this week, through Friday, Hooters is featuring a new game show called BONK in the Night Owl Showroom at 3 p.m. each day. And just to make things interesting, there is a beautiful BONK Babe involved. Here's how it works.
It begins with three contestants randomly chosen (which means it might be you) wearing helmets and holding soft foam mallets. The helmets are equipped with sensors that ring when the helmet is hit. In order to "bonk in" and answer a question, one must hit him or her on the head with the mallet.
The first round is strictly self-inflicted bonking, so it helps if you're a bit of a masochist. Contestants score points for a correct answer, lose points for an incorrect answer. The questions are relatively simple so speed does matter. When a contestant reaches 10 points, the round ends and the low scorer is eliminated. The remaining two contestants face off in the "Back BONK" round. The questions in this round get tougher and opponents may not only bonk themselves, but may bonk their opponent. Points are scored if your opponent is incorrect when they have been "back bonked."
The winner of the "back BONK" round is a finalist and is given the opportunity to win a prize by taking the "BONK Challenge." There, you are asked to name 10 items from a given category (i.e. casino games, cartoon characters, pizza toppings, etc.) within 30 seconds while being bashed on the head by the BONK Babe.
This process is repeated three times producing three BONK winners. At the end of the third game, the three winners then compete in a single round finale known as the "BONK Bash." This is a free for all where all three contestants may hit themselves or any of the others in a race to 10 points to determine the champion. The champion is then crowned with the mirrored BONK disco helmet and winner of the grand prize. Prizes may include an overnight stay at Hooters Casino Hotel, dinner at one of the properties restaurants and lots more, so I'm told. Prizes don't seem to be that big a deal but seeing that tickets to the game are only $14.95, whaddaya expect? Sounds like a lot of fun and a nice break from losing money in the casino.
