Press Your Luck

[@AldusValor]

The pale blue squares behind the audience always looked like those really high windows in a factory, so as a kid, it always looked like this game was played illegally in some factory or warehouse or something as part of some kind of underground game show circuit.

[@aaronbaker5887]

BUZZR is airing this episode right now with the rematch of Joe/Wayne/Dorothy.

[@AlolaMasked]

10:34 Frosty the Snowman, Had a Whammy in his way, so he stopped him cold and with a frown, he said "that player is broke."

[@jimmaloney1121]

So this is what Yogi Berra meant when he said, "It's deja vu all over again!"

[@CH-gr7tn]

Every time I see the intro for Nina-Joe and Andrew and then the ending on their episode, I feel like there is two versions of it.

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

Because of the profanity?

[@anthonyguarino4242]

In the intro, Nina won the game by a margin of $3!

[@brothergaryii]

At 11:18 - Dorothy landed on a whammy, putting her out of the game (for her return with Wayne & Joe), after she had 2 whammies, on her 1st appearance.

[@AlolaMasked]

11:20 You're out You're out You're out You're out *YEAH!*

[@Hawkwing4567]

Oh man...Joe came close to retiring on his 5th day, but I guess this game's retribution must have had a major impact on all three of them. Dorothy got the short end of the stick and whammied out on her last spin after having played strong for most of yesterday's game. Joe had a whammy-less game, but could not overcome Wayne's ferocious comeback, and led by $2,000+ to boot before hitting 2 straight whammies! I really thought he wasn't going to make it, but definitely turned the tide right after getting that Tent Trailer. That was actually the big shift in momentum that completely changed the game for Wayne. He found his groove after chipping away at the lead slowly, but surely. That being said, Wayne becomes a 2-time champion after coming out of the game where three players tied with $0. The other contestant, Chris Koss, on the other hand, became a 5-time champion and retired after coming out of a game where all three players tied with $0. Joe could have been the 2nd 5-time champion to retire after coming out of a game where all three tied with $0, but...that was not meant to be, not in Wayne's case. Great effort though, by Wayne to complete the comeback.

[@sirharry13]

If Joe would have won with the amount he had, he would have been the first champion to retire despite not reaching $50,000

[@shanejones8884]

Joe was out of his lucky seat

[@sirharry13]

As for Chris, he made up for his $0 win by winning $21,468 two shows later. So the average of his smallest and biggest wins was $10,734 which still puts you on a pace for $53,670

[@sha11235]

Why did Peter give only two choices to the Superman question after Joe brain farted?

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

14:45, DIBIASE!!

[@sirharry13]

No matter the outcome, Joe couldn't come back on the next show. That's the main thing that sucks when you win with $0, it still counts as one of your five shows.

[@devares2006]

Just like on Jeopardy before they lifted the 5-day rule. A tie would count as one of your wins.

[@sirharry13]

But at least on Jeopardy, since you can't win with zero, the people who tied still got to keep what they won regardless of the outcome of the next episode

[@allenmui5457]

11:17 - Game over for Dorothy. Wow, Dorothy. The whammies seems to having a tough time. Took six whammies to get you out of the game, two from yesterday and four for today. I'm so sorry, you're out of the game.

[@brothergaryii]

At 2:47 - This is the second time in the history of Press Your Luck has a contestant buzzed-in and failed to come up with an answer, after given 3 seconds, which resulted as "being out."

[@sirharry13]

It's happened at least three times, if not more, before this one

[@trevorpanno516]

Of the $34,880 Joe left with, $20,950 of that is all cash.

[@theparanormalman8707]

Redemption for Wayne.

[@yabbaguy]

Wayne was expertly timing the board. Once he saw a cluster of whammies, he hit the button once the slides shifted. His first whammy was probably because he didn't want to get called for delay of game (not a rule, but I'm guessing some sort of guideline), and the second one was bad luck.

[@sha11235]

But no way would he match Michael Larson.

[@LockHavenBaldEagleJP]

LOL @ Nina Jo’s “oh fuck” at 0:07

[@tinamarie86]

I thought she was mouthing the words oh no

[@LockHavenBaldEagleJP]

Watch her lips. They edited it to sound like oh no

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

@@LockHavenBaldEagleJP If you watch the full episode, that's not what it looks or sounds like.

[@wbmeprograms4505]

Looks like oh no to me

[@dewayneburtonii5360]

Dorothy is out

[@trevorpanno5371]

Win or lose, we’re going to say goodbye to Joe.

[@markheying2830]

Trevor Panno That is whatever or not he Whammied Out.

[@robertlalexander4083]

Joe Derry was probably the biggest jerk of a contestant ever on PYL. I loathed Joe.

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

Robert L Alexander no Mark is a jerk Joe was just a greedy gambler

[@sirharry13]

I can name a few that are worse than Joe and Mark ....

[@happyguy1237]

9:51

[@sha11235]

Why didn't Rod mention a trip?

[@happyguy1237]

11:17

[@sha11235]

Why did Joe and Dorothy switch places?

[@sirharry13]

I believe they drew numbers backstage to determine seating for every episode. Notice that Joe was in the third spot for his first four episodes and was then in the first spot for his final episode.

[@adriananderson76]

What episode that from when he was short by 3 dollars and came close to win the game??

[@LVSignChick]

Adrian Anderson Episode 452

[@JoeyLamontagne]

Nina Jo/Andrew/Paul

[@sirharry13]

That $3 margin of victory overshadowed the fact that Paul lost $19,722 to a whammy in a passed spin battle with Andrew a la Lori/Cathy (the latter lost $31,408 to a whammy)

14:45 is a Big Money Loss

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

Thank god he won!

[@happyguy1237]
