Blockbusters: A Unexpected Gold Run

This Gold Run which has technical difficulties

[@gameshowfreak2007]

saw this the other day (have a chopy on DVD) after Bill's explanation he said "I suggested to the producers, since that was more difficult they give you $50,000 and they suggested I drop dead" RIP Bill Cullen.

Should have just given him the money if he failed on the last questiopn. . It was their glitch preventing his proper travel across the board. Glad he got it.

Reminds me of the circus.

[@marcomacias3960]

how did that happen what caused it

[@alexhoule776]

What happened?

[@paullarue2010]

alex houle Bill Cullen explained that, after those polka-dot clown things accured.

[@abe_froman8360]

He would have gotten the money anyway, the technical problem put him at a disadvantage.

[@gameshowfreak2007]

either that or they would have let him play it again and let him keep the few hundred he would have won on top of the $5K

If I recall correctly, what followed this Gold Run was the first appearance of John Hatten, who was the only solo player to win $120,000 on the show. BTW, Pat & Liz McCarthy were the only family pair to do the same.

If he blew it, we would have assumed that he was given a second chance.

Wonder if that was the model for the modern day internet "Easter Egg?" hehe....

No wonder Matt Cox hates clowns.

[@BlackwoodCompany]

We cannot say yet.

We think that that is where they put the slides.
