Six prizes....Rod earned his check today

Good thing Add-A-One wasn't on the board when Micheal Larson played. He'd own the entire solar system!

[@930bestvideos]

According to Wikipedia, once you've hit $10,000 or more, Add-A-One is only worth $10,000 additional.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

930bestvideos I never knew that. Did it ever happen on the show? Thanks!

[@930bestvideos]

No, it actually never happened.

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

@@930bestvideos That seems suspect.

John, from WFMY News 2 territory, where I used to live :-)

So are we not gonna figure out why the set started leaking at 10:00!? It really distracted Nancy. BTW I find it really cool that Jin's name translates to "gold" (in Chinese at least). I think it suits how she ended up playing.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

+Deane Buckingham "Jin" in Chinese can also mean "ferry" (same spelling/meaning in Korean). It can also be a nickname for Virginia (as Jin explained to Peter in her first episode), Jane (chiefly in the UK) or Jennifer. Paul McCartney famously referred to his aunt Jane (the younger sister of his father, Jim McCartney) as "Aunty Jin."

[@ruantengyi]

If you watched the previous episode, Jin says her name is short for Virginia.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I watched it and paid attention to that!

[@Infinityplus1111]

Clearly the Whammy's are pneumatic. You can hear the hissy-fit @10:00

[@biruss]

Another kass orginating from des moines iowa. Could have ended the same way if Nancy had done differently at the end.

[@biruss]

I think she's Chris's brother, and Chris was telling her to pass at the end!

[@Frankie2Jersey]

Jin is probably the closest to almost get two perfect rounds

[@eternalhalloween1]

Well, Jin was wicked. But she played fairly. Nancy and John just caught some bad breaks.

[@snake9911]

It didn't happen to often when this show ran, but Nancy is from my Hometown. Des Moines, Iowa. I wonder where she lives now

[@michaelsaya4989]

She still lives in Des Moines

[@snake9911]

@@michaelsaya4989 I still live in Des Moines, also.

[@blueelkmarketing3436]

She kept screaming Im dying Im dying I thought she was going to have a coranary.

[@biruss]

Someone was telling nancy to pass with S0 at the end. Is it me, or did it sound like chris? Had nancy passed to jin, she could have hoped Jin would hit a whammy immediately, and then jin would have 1 spin and be broke, forcing her to pass to john to make him whammy, and then when he whammy, it'd be another Kass casuing a 0-0-0 tie.

[@speedygonzalez_2177]

I think John is the first one from the Carolina’s to be on PYL

[@robertlalexander4083]

When did Peter's hairstyle change?

[@zachhoran]

12 spins being earned in a question round only happened maybe five times in the three year run, no?

[@plushbatfan]

Zach Horan Perfect question round (buzzed in).

[@jpmeil1985]

Jin is a pretty bright lady. I am very lucky to be married to her.

[@888jerm888]

Yes, here are the five shows where players earned the maximum number of spins: Show #156 BETTY: 12 spins in Round 2. Went out of the game after 3 spins, losing 10 spins in the process. Show #243 CHRISTINE: 12 spins in Round 1. Spun 9 times and passed the rest. Had the advantage going into Round 2. Hit a whammy on her first and last spins in Round 2, losing the game. Show #265 SCOTT: 12 spins in Round 2. Had $19,641 with 8 spins left and decided to go ONE MORE. Hit a whammy on his next spin and eventually went out of the game. Show #505 NANCY: 12 spins in Round 2. Had $25,000+ before suddenly stopping on a whammy. She too went out of the game. Show #511 JIN: 12 spins in Round 2. Finally broke the spell of LOSERS. The only player that earned 12 spins and WON THE GAME!! I will be looking to see if I missed anyone other than these players.

Nancy is definitely a cutie.

[@whammy3323]

Is Nancy, Chris Kaas' sister?? They look so much alike and from Des Moines...

[@biruss]

I say yes. They guy telling her to pass sounds like him. Had she passed to Jin, jin could have whammed, forcing a pass to Jon, and he would have whammed, and another 0-0-0 tie.

[@MBK1997]

Did anyone notice what happens at 10:00? Is that strange? lol

[@LVSignChick]

MBK1997 Sounds like a hydraulic problem...It would "leak" again about a minute later...
