Classic Concentration - Stan DESTROYS the bonus round

[@joshuad450]

This Stan was not only lucky and all; he was very brilliant in how he played! It's interesting that he never called the red herring 15 at all. I'm not surprised that he holds the record for the fastest completion of this bonus round. And I loved his winning reaction!

[@ckendall67]

I LOVED his reaction when he won the car, that was incredible!

[@blindsportslover]

He played that like a boss. I know it would be nice to go for a specific car, but I would just match them and just get the car I matched last.

[@chriswilliams41]

They need to bring this game back.

[@nathanbush6781]

It would be nice, but stupid Fremantle Media would ruin it by having Drew Carey or Steve Harvey hosting...I'd rather them NOT bring it back...but bring back airings of the Alex Trebek edition, please!

[@NapalmMan39-f9c]

Nathan Bush That's a RETARDED comment! Who the FUCK cares who hosts the show, as long as they do it right, DUMB ASS.

[@paulc6944]

NBC controls the rights to this program, not Fremantle. So we'll be lucky if we ever see a revival of this.

[@nathanbush6781]

axelrayne69 The personality of the host brings out the best of the show. I like Alex Trebek's level of professionalism and humor, and Drew Carey's blah attitude and Steve Harvey's perverted (I'm no prude, but I hate how he makes the show about him, and drags a contestant's answer out five minutes, and makes it about him every time) mind would make the show unwatchable. You don't have to be rude toward me.

[@NapalmMan39-f9c]

Nathan Bush I'm being "rude" towards you, because you got a Self-Centered Point-of-View, which has absolutely NO place in this or any environment. Overall, no one gives a SHIT about what you have to say, because the bottom line is that it's all about the contestants who try to win not the host.

This episode is airing on Buzzr on October 9. 2023 at 8:30AM EST

[@SP84Fanatic]

And we’ll hopefully see this episode in Buzzr’s rotation this summer or fall.

[@SP84Fanatic]

And Stan’s win will be seen in the next batch of episodes on Buzzr, from October 26, 1990’s episode or October 29, 1990’s episode.

[@TheCharlesJLee1000]

@@disneyfan8178 but contestant Stan won the car round on Classic Concentration in the shortest amount of time :25 seconds. Including, on Let's Make a Deal in the Car Pong game, under the game show host Wayne Brady, contestants won the car in less than:20, by:02 or:05 seconds. That's considered the quickest shortest amount of time in game show history.

Throwback Thursday Stan owing the car round on Classic Concentration.

[@fierra76]

Oh yes, you posted the Tournament of Champions appearance. (Thank you!!) It's definitely worth a look. CC was a great show, and Alex Trebek displayed an offbeat sense of humor. That particular episode was slightly odder than usual. I'll edit the link into my video description.

[@cecilrichardson2494]

Impressive! Stan had only the minimum amount of time to work with (35 secs.), and for the largest part was utilizing the process of elimination, and knocking out any pairs almost as soon as he came across a match later on the board. Nicely done!

[@cedricbrooks8951]

as gene said a prize worth over $9,700

[@bpot22]

Now that's the way you supposed to win a car in 35 seconds. No screwing around just have a good memory of where the matches are and you can easily do it in that amount of time.

[@blindsportslover]

bpot22 damn straight. That's how you do it. Forget about trying to go for a specific one.

[@StLawrencePlace]

To my memory there were four people who won a car with base time!

[@wschmrdr]

I'm sure there were a few more than that; thankfully Buzzr is giving us a chance to know for sure.

[@wewatch1209]

[@newstarcadefan]

Yes, and we know NBC ain't gonna do anything with Concentration. They only leased it to Goodson/Todman, Mark Goodson Television Productions.

[@seanvogt221]

In the wake of the retro game shows on ABC this summer, NBC should do the same thing next summer with Concentration. The cars they should offer in the bonus round should be like a Fiat 500, Ford Fusion, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche Cayenne, Hyundai Sonata, Lexus SUV, Chevrolet Impala, and Ram 1500.

[@Ivoryman1986fan]

Now fierra76, I think the full episode of this was posted by HYHYBT, if you want to remember that old account. It was the same person who uploaded a handful of Combs' Feud episodes as well as a number of Pyramid episodes. It was a shame that somebody wanted to ask him to remove the Murphy Brown episodes but tends to ignore the person about it, the "Murphy Brown" and "Bob" episodes are what gave him the copyright strikes.

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

so it was some random good-for-nothing loser who obviously didn't have a job or a life or girlfriemd at that time, In fact I'd be more inclined to say that I would be completely shocked to find out that he did get a job or was even willing to TRY and find any of the three things that I mentioned above, that was actually the person who is ultimately responsible for getting HYHYBT's account on here terminated since he is the one who reported him out of pure spite?)
