Trent Spangle | Good morning and welcome to ‘Who wants to be a Heavenly Star?’ – The brand new quiz show that offers three contestants the chance to build up their brownie points for heaven. I’m your host – Trent Spangle - and today, ladies and gentlemen, we have three contestants, chosen completely at random from the audience.
Contestant number one - Mary T, come on down!
|
Mary N Thusiastic | (dances down - excited)
|
Trent | Contestant number two – Rhonda R, come on down!
|
Rhonda Rush | (runs to the front waving hands)
|
Trent | And last but not least – contestant number three – Sally S, come on down!
|
Sally Notso Silly | (Walks slowly to the front)
|
Trent | Now as you don’t know already, the rules are sinful. I’m sorry, I mean simple. There are three rounds, and I ask a question of each contestant about Frontier Services. For each question right, they score a point. At the end of the three rounds the one with the most point gets their wings (encourage audience to clap). And the others get a gold-plated chain with the links broken. Are we ready to play?
|
Mary, Rhonda, Sally (together)
| Yes! |
Trent | Good. Round One. Mary. Frontier Services are the major provider of aged care, health and community services, and pastoral support to people in what parts of Australia?
|
Mary | Yes, yes, yes (excited). Is it Belmont?
|
Trent | No, I’m afraid that’s wrong Mary. So the question passes to the next contestant.
Rhonda: Frontier Services are the major provider of aged care, health and community services, and pastoral support to people in what parts of Australia?
|
Rhonda | I know, I know, the Internet?
|
Trent | No, I’m afraid that’s wrong too Rhonda. So the question passes to Sally. Sally: Frontier Services are the major provider of aged care, health and community services, and pastoral support to people in what parts of Australia?
|
Sally | The ‘outback’
|
Trent | Yes Sally, it is – we have a correct answer and you have just won round one. Give her a clap everyone.
Ok, that’s enough.
Round two.
Mary: The Tennant-Barkly patrol covers an area which is a) Twice the size of Geelong, b) half the size of Australia or c) ten times the size of Tasmania?
|
Mary | d) three times the size of brazil – where the nuts come from.
|
Trent | Where the nuts come from ….. ha ha ha. Not all of them. Sorry Mary.
Rhonda – you’ve heard the question – twice Geelong, half Australia or ten times Tasmania – what’s your answer?
|
Rhonda | I got it - Half the size of Australia?
|
Trent | I’m sorry, that is the incorrect answer.
Sally. You’ve heard the question – is it a, b or c?
|
Sally | It’s C Trent, ten times the size of Tasmania. Or three times the size of Victoria.
|
Trent | And that’s the correct answer – both ways - well done – (encourage clapping) you have just completed round two with TWO points, Mary you are second with NO points, and Rhonda is equal second with NO points as well. So, we come to round three. Mary, Rhonda – if you get a question right here we might have to go for a tie breaker otherwise the wings are going to go to Sally……
Round Three, Begins.
Mary. If all the people at Frontier Services were traveling via spaceship to the moon instead of visiting 15 thousand families, how many return trips would they do in a year?
|
Mary | I know – I know – One!
|
Trent | Yes! That’s a superb answer Mary – give her a clap everyone.
(claps)
Shame she’s wrong.
Rhonda – I’ll repeat the question, If all the people at Frontier Services were traveling via spaceship to the moon instead of visiting 15 thousand families, how many return trips would they do in a year?
|
Rhonda | A half?
|
Trent | Nice try but I’m afraid you are wrong also. You two better hope that Sally is stumped on this one.
Sally : If all the people at Frontier Services were traveling via spaceship to the moon instead of visiting 15 thousand families, how many return trips would they do in a year?
|
Sally | One and a half?
|
Trent | Oh dear – what a pity, what an absolute shame. She got so close and she got the answer wrrrrrrIGHT! Congratulations - give her a big round of applause everyone. Yes, the folks at Frontier services travel over a million kilometers every year which is to the moon, back to earth, and then to the moon again.
And that means, Sally that you are our big winner today!
Give her a really big round of applause guys.
|
Trent | Mary, Rhonda – you are the weakest link.
But don’t say good bye yet, because there are no losers when you turn to Christ, so be of good cheer because in the words of the Yawuru people,
Mabullkogar bugoogina – the good father is coming.
Thank you, good morning, and may God go with you.
