OK, this game is called It's Two Things And One. And John, why don't you take it away.

JOHN CHANESKI: We're looking for words that do double duty in English. For example, if we ask you for a word that's both a cliff and a tactic in poker, you would say bluff. But we're going to mix it up and throw in famous names and places as well. Like a word that's both a country and a bird, would be, audience?

UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: Turkey.

CHANESKI: Turkey, that's right. Give her a point. OK, contestants you'll only have a few seconds to give us an answer. We're playing this spelling bee style, if you get one answer wrong, you're out. Last person standing is this week's grand winner. Ready players?
