Press Your Luck

[@chrispleasantable]

This is one intense episode, it's back and forth all over the place

[@markheying2830]

And Lori’s Clapping Hands win her Cash & Prizes together!

[@Thunderbirds501]

15:30 THAT was a painful Whammy.

[@isaiahcalhoun5998]

Yes, that was heartbreaking.

[@hrtvfan2870]

Randy almost had to be wanting to say "Remember me?" when he finally got his opportunity to press his luck

[@robertanderson2898]

9:33 it looks like she's having some real fun :O

[@biruss]

Cathy orgasminger

[@StLawrencePlace]

that 1 spin been passed 9 times!

[@trevorpanno516]

They even showed 15:30 on a clip from GameShow Marathon in an answer to a question before they went to break.

[@theedspage]

Note that Randy's and Lori's spin went into the yellow square after the 1st question of the second set (before the La Cucaracha question)

[@ShadowLinkxMaster]

They had to reshoot the contestant introduction because of how long the spin rounds were.

[@PYLrulz1984]

Whammy needed a Brinks truck this day. Nearly a $50k haul.

[@cookiedylangamesnmore]

Just finished watching this episode on Buzzr it was so intense just like Larson's run.

[@schmolik1]

I thought with that last spin Lori should've just given Kathy the last spin after taking $31K from her it's the least she could do.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Somebody alert Ceder Sinai! We're on our way.

[@cooldude2255]

What does that even mean?

Cathy was about to have a heart attack! She bought yeyo

I would have taken one of the two spins Randy had to make a little money and then pass the last one to Lori.

$31,000 Poor Cathy, the biggest whammy in PYL's 3 year run.

painful to lose $31,000 that's painful also this has been a great round 2 match however Lori's win makes the intros.

[@foxmccloud7055]

Who came here after tonight's episode?

[@elizabethcraig5825]

Would be funny to see Randy win after their battle.😂

[@chris.twentyeightt]

0:48 Possibly a post production shot since the game ran too long… Cathy is leaving with $2,950.

[@gameshowguy2000]

Lori, Lori, Lori, why did you have to do that?

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

John Lee umm she played the game the right way. Noting wrong with what she did. I would've passed also

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

It really looks like she passed the first time to avoid hitting a Whammy at that stage. You can see she's nervous in those first few spins she takes, and though she doesn't quite shed that, she gets better as things go on. No one could have predicted that Cathy would gain so much out of just those 3 spins, therefore making each subsequent pass (by the both of them) pretty much necessary.

[@biruss]

@@michaelj.kerkau1625 indeed, but 3131 is doable in 3 spins

[@alexsdb9712]

Stupid swine. Even back then I felt she was one. When Randy finally got his turn to spin, after hitting $5,000 he should have already passed all of his remaining spins to Lori to possibly get her to whammy and feel what Cathy did. I would have done that if I was a contestant knowing that someone was made to lose over $30,000.

[@biruss]

@@alexsdb9712 Rumor has he she was flirting and bending over in front of the control room guy. Hence Chris Lass divorced her after 3 months, got half the $, and ended up dating Cathy.

[@cliffordrosen852]

15:30 :P

[@biruss]

This aired last Wednesday

[@sirharry13]

What's crazy is Lori was only $315 from retiring. If she would have hit anything over $815 on that last passed spin, she would have retired and it probably would have been the ultimate slap in the face to Cathy.

[@zachhoran]

A Whammy was hit with $35K in Summer 1986, right after hitting Double your $$ with $17,500. They also chopped up the spelling of the correct answer to the fourth question in round two. Interesting that the last square Cathy hit before the whammy was $1K and a spin in the same corner where DOuble your $$ was lurking. Came close to being a $60K whammy loss.

[@biruss]

Zach Horan lori would need the money for self-defense classes.

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Got a date for that? I've seen that mentioned but have not seen a day/episode for when that would have been yet.

[@biruss]

@@michaelj.kerkau1625 episode 700,701 or 702

[@sirharry13]

Randy should have taken one spin and then passed after hitting the whammy. But I could see the point of passing both of them, even if it was trying to be nice to Cathy by letting her back into the game, at least momentarily

[@rexschmidt93]

Cathy didn't deserve this.

[@cowscrazy]

No Player talk to start the game. They rushed right into the game Losing all that money. That be like around $72,000 in today's cash. Its painful to think about

[@BrentWolgamott]

They didn't rush anything :-) They actually RETAPED the introductions AFTER the game had ended, because they needed to save some time.

[@ShadowLinkxMaster]

Brent's Lucky Slot Channel Hah! No wonder Cathy still looked a bit burnt out during that intro. You can tell she’s not as hyped because of her big loss. 😛

[@damienchance2622]

Imagine if Michael Larson would have hit the whammy on the last day of PYL home player game..he would had lost $110,237

[@ulikehank9230]

Lori sucks for what she did. I hope she lost all of the money she took from the show.

[@sirharry13]

Why? That's part of the game. Sucks for Randy, and certainly Cathy, but that's the way PYL goes sometimes.

[@biruss]

Rumor has Cathy stole Lori's man because SHE fraternizex with the control room guys. He would later get on in November.

[@skullfootball9015]

Never had 58 people comment on press your luck

[@rexschmidt93]

If that square below the top left corner one had changed to $1,400 instead of $750 + a spin, Cathy would have been safe.

[@biruss]

she didn't watch the board

[@jadenmuniz8817]

20:25 is from the intros

[@JonesDylan874]

15:30 WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUU-- 16:45 Used in PYL: Expert Edition.

[@devynthornton1068]

Its randy/lori/cathy not randy/lori/cindy

[@AlphaStarDX]

Kinda sad it took multiple choice for the Fang question, and even then not everyone was sure of it. Clearly nobody watches the show like they should before appearing on it. :P

[@NelsonCWoodstock]

Has this been edited? It keeps jump cutting.

[@ekt8750]

+Corey M. Barnes CBS had to chop this up cause the 2nd round went so long. Anything that didn't effect the game had to be cut.

[@darrenbernard8321]

Corey B I have never seen so much editing from a PYL episode ever! They couldn't even interview the players as Peter just read their names, Peter didn't even get to say we'll be right back after 2nd question round, and there were no fee plugs. But wow! One of the best episodes ever.

[@LVSignChick]

The Spin Battle overtook the episode, causing whatever edits were made, including the lack of player introductions...

[@ShadowLinkxMaster]

Theresa Neilson The intro actually had to be reshot, just so it can go right into the question round, without there being more edits.

[@damienchance2622]

They could have did that to Michael Larson episode on PYL 1984

[@rexschmidt93]

Lori's loss on the next episode was a perfect way to pay for this loss she caused Cathy.

[@GamingFanactic911]

Honestly, Lori is a really sweet person. It was just part of the game. It was just survival of the fittest

[@sirharry13]

Well I'd rather lose and go home with $24,685 than lose and go home with $2,950....or worse yet, nothing.....Just sayin'

[@quizmaster85]

15:17 - Shouldn't have done that...!

[@robertlalexander4083]

Randy and Kathy lost almost $50k between them with their two Whammies.

[@trevorpanno5371]

I would have taken 1 of the 2 spins Randy had to make a little money and then pass the last one to Lori.

[@biruss]

The way things were going, he'd ahve whammied, lori would have passed to cathy, lori, hits the double, then LORI would have whammied, and she and Cathy wpuld be cathfighting, till the next show.

[@cinemaholic730]

I think Randy felt bad for Cathy that Lori had smoked him as well as Cathy. So I think he REALLY wanted Lori to hit a whammy and then have all of them come back with 0.

[@biruss]

@@cinemaholic730 emotion is not a sound foundation for strategy

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

@@biruss Actually, that's exactly what Joe Derry (of Dorothy/Wayne/Joe) would do in 1986, and that worked! (Worth noting, though, that Joe first previously passed 1 spin to Wayne to set him back to $0, before it was up to Dorothy to tackle Joe.)

[@biruss]

@@michaelj.kerkau1625 but Joe could have taken 1 and had the dough.

20:49

[@robertanderson2898]

Randy was an idiot. He chose the 1000+Spin over the Tent Trailer, which was usually valued at over $4000, he would have had the lead. And then he passed the spins....... and loses.

[@cinemaholic730]

Seeing what he did to Cathy, I probably would have passed the spins to Lori to just hoping she would hit a whammy.

[@biruss]

He should not have passed both at the end.

[@PYLrulz1984]

Christopher Hamilton basically a swamp her strategy. Give her a bunch of spins and hope one of those 5 is a whammy.

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

Since he passed right after that, the spin made more sense than the Tent Trailer. Also, not everyone wants or has space for a camper. You can't expect to resell it for the full $4639.

[@rexschmidt93]

Lori should have been ashamed of herself. When Randy whammied, Cathy was lucky it wasn't her that time.

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

All good players should be ashamed of themselves for playing intelligently.
