Scrabble - Dru/Don, Dan/Marcy (Apr. 22, 1985)

[@drummingdanny84]

Scrabble went back to its regular format by September 1985.

11:16 Wow. Chuck JUST said "Wait till I say go" and she buzzes in before Chuck does that, and the judges let her get away with it. If I was her opponent I would have immediately called foul (or at least I would have brought it up at the break).

11:13 They're a little looser earlier on with the "Wait until I say 'go'" rule kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJrRiGuDaMeUmJo

[@lobstertexas]

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that .. Dude could have said "Hey I knew it too but I didn't know you could buzz in that early!" .. I mean.. what if she buzzed in right when he said "a seven letter word.."? What's the limit? 😇

Minus the spelling, did anybody like the pot format? Also, while I like the bonus sprint format a lot better, the Scrabble sprint champion was good as well.

So this was around the time Charlie Tuna took over as announcer. Why did they get rid of Jay Stewart?

[@kissfanmac]

Mental issues.

[@blindsportslover]

@@kissfanmac yeah. His health was declining by this point. Probably a year later that's when they brought in Don Morrow for sale of the Century.

[@Nickrj3]

They also got rid of the “bap bap” noise by this point.

[@wschmrdr]

9:26 Not yet.

[@StFidjnr]

The spelling fiasco era

[@psalm37v4]

I didn’t remember this but just by the looks of this ep I’m glad they did away with it.

[@captainsworld1986]

What were they thinking?!

[@JMFabiano]

It was interesting but awkward.
