Description

Blackout was an American game show that ran for 65 episodes on CBS from January 4, 1988 to April 1, 1988. The pilot was hosted by Robb Weller, but he was replaced for the series by Bob GoenJohnny Gilbert was announcer for most of the run, with Jay Stewart (in his final announcing job) taking over for the last two weeks. The show was a Jay Wolpert production.

In the Clue Screen bonus round, the object was to guess the identity of five subjects within 70 seconds. Before the round started, the contestant decided whether he/she would look at the screen or if the celebrity would. The other player would then stand with his/her back to the screen.

The round began when Goen gave the category for the first subject and the subject itself in order to aid the screen viewer in deciding how many clues would be needed to correctly guess the subject. Up to six clues would be displayed on the screen one at a time. At any point, the player watching the screen could yell out "solve it" if he/she felt there was enough information displayed. Once he/she did, the other player turned to face the screen and offered a guess. The round continued for a total of 70 seconds and if the team managed to correctly identify the five subjects needed, the contestant won $10,000. If not, $250 was given for every subject that was guessed correctly (for a maximum total of $1,000).

In this deviation, Sunset Shimmer and Rarity are playing the Clue Screen round. Before the round started, Rarity decided that she would look at the screen; therefore, Sunset Shimmer would stand with her back to the screen. She has given four out of five correct answers, but there are only 6.8 seconds left on the clock. In addition, Rarity has ordered her to solve the subject. Can the two students of Canterlot High win $10,000 for their charities?
