Jimmie made a mistake. He should've taken the $2000 instead of losing a Whammy as he passed his spins right after that, could've had a higher total, or even won if he kept going with one extra Whammy available. It sounded like he said "pass," he even made the hand signal to pass.

I wish I wasn’t sticking it in Amy.

Lol..Peter T: Montana doesn't have any mountains. Montana: Peter, Peter...you're an idiot. I love it. He had a great sense of humor and could laugh at himself.

[@allenmui5457]

Smart move Jimmie because you had three whammies and you chose to lose that whammy. So now Jimmie is down to two whammies.

[@crazyclimber80]

Wow, Peter-- you blew it this episode! Jimmie clearly said PLAY but you passed his spins. Jimmie was a good sport about it though and didn't complain.

[@40bpaula]

i was wondering about that. It didn't make sense for Jimmy to get rid of a Whammie and then pass. They must have been ready for him to go.

[@crazyclimber80]

@@40bpaula Well, looking back on it now, Jimmie clearly gave the wrong hand signal. But I guess Peter got too wrapped up in the moment because Jimmie said "Play" plain as day.

[@40bpaula]

@@crazyclimber80 Ah, okay...hand signal error. Peter might not have even heard him. I know when they get too excited, the noise level is incredible...well, if you're me that is. thanks for responding.

[@crazyclimber80]

@@40bpaula Yeah, it was kind of weird for Jimmie to make that hand signal and say "play", but you could tell he was trying to clarify himself after the spins were passed that he did indeed say "play", but to no avail. Oh well, at least he won on a previous episode.

​@@crazyclimber80 At one point in _It's Anybody's Ballgame_ by Joe Garagiola, the former ballplayer recounts an incident where the umpire correctly shouted "SAFE!" but accidentally gave the sign for "Out". When the runner asked which it was, the umpire reminded him that while runner and third baseman both knew the runner was safe, "thirty thousand fans saw my arm. Richie, you're out."

"Shrimpy shrumpy"?

[@bradleytaylor4950]

Is this the episode that introduced the Cindy Lauper Whammy?

[@crazyclimber80]

No, that debuted during College Week. Episode #396 to be exact. A number of whammy animations debuted during College Week.

[@damienchance2622]

Cindy Whammy is scary

[@lisacogar1490]

Should they use it in the 2019 version

[@40bpaula]
