[edit] Gameplay
On Bob's Full House four contestants competed to fill in their Bingo-style card. Correct answer to questions covered up a number but incorrect answers causes players to sit out the next question (this was classified as getting wallied).
[edit] Round One (Four Corners)
In the first round, the object was to fill in the four corners of the board. The first person to do so won a prize choice.
[edit] Round Two (Monkhouse Mastercard)
In this round, player raced to clear the middle row of numbers on their cards. They would be shown a game board with categories next to a list of numbers. Contestants would be asked question unopposed, but an incorrect answer gave the other players a chance to answer (Bob referred to it as "Open to Others") with other contestants getting Wallied for incorrect answers. Also during this round, if the player in control found his/her "Lucky Number" and answered a question correctly, he/she won a special prize.
[edit] Round Three (Full House)
The third and final round was played like round one, except the object was to fill the remainder of the bingo board. First person to do this won the game, and a chance a holiday in the bonus round.
[edit] Bonus Round (Gold Card)
In the Gold Card round, the winning contestant faced a board of 18 squares with numbers from 1 - 90 under each, and stars on some. The winning contestant had 60 seconds (one minute) to answer a series of questions (15 is the max). Each correct answer chose one of the numbers and earned that number in pounds. Behind some of the numbers were letters in the name of a holiday, and if the contestant can reveal all the letters before the time ran out, he/she won the holiday.
