Press Your Luck - Episode 18

[@theedspage]

I honestly wished Jeanne won more, she is one my favorite PYL contestants.

[@cinemaholic730]

Me to! I wish she had won the Car.

[@cowscrazy]

Glad this one was edited . Was sick of skipping commercials and then a commercial came later on DOH

[@everythingstarwars1057]

Lol

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Yeah, I don't get why those middle ones were left in there.

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

19:41 Larry is not happy with Ted's decision. Also the first time this game was staring down a potential ending tie.

[@everythingstarwars1057]

Jeane or Larry I would have been happy with, but she was so excited. She was jumping out her chair. Loved it !! She will be fun to watch in the next show.....

7:06 that prize has gotta come to the new press your luck

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Also, considering that Randy West is really the only other contestant to have shown any kind of energy or enthusiasm when spinning up to this point - at 18 episodes in now, that makes for plenty of boring players! - frankly, Jeanne's enthusiasm is welcome here. How much enthusiasm is too much enthusiasm, you might ask? Look no further than Joy from 1984. (Seen on Gene Snyder's second, and retiring, win.)

16:17 Car hit from the intro.

[@robertanderson2898]

*** SPOILERS*** ? That was one of the biggest losses to a whammy in round 1 i've seen so far........

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Would have to double-check, but I believe it's the biggest up to this point.

[@BarrCode674]

16:17 Used in flashback intros.

[@schmolik1]

+BarrCode674 They should have showed when Randy West won his car. He actually won it while Jeanne lost hers. Plus, Randy hit the car on his last spin for a come from behind victory. I believe another contestant also won the game coming from behind on the last spin hitting the car.

[@gameshowguy2000]

+schmolik1 Don't know what made Jeanne decide to go on after hitting that car. I would've passed my remaining spins at that point.

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

@@gameshowguy2000 I'm of two minds on that. At this early point of the series, it was certainly a surprise to keep going right after that - however, had this been say a 1985 episode, it wouldn't be so surprising. As it stands, despite that big hit, she only had so much cushion against Ted at that moment (4300 & change, and he had 4 spins of his own). So it's not the worst idea in the world to try and put more distance away from him before passing. I see the logic in passing right away, but I don't think it's a clear-cut Pass or Play right there.

[@vargas218]

I’m gonna go for it ???? Are you fucking kidding me ?????

[@bradleytaylor4950]

This might be the first episode where a contestant lost a car to a Whammy.

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Correct. It was also only the second car even hit, period. The first being, obviously, Randy West.
