Send him out on a train, Jane! Feed him to the Whammy, Sammy! Drop-kick him out back, Jack! There must be 101 ways to leave a game show.... :) Thu, 10 Jun 2010 04:09:28 +0000 http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/abc-orders-101-ways-to-leave-a-game-show/#IDComment79408084 http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/the-british-are-better-than-us-painful-loss-on-the-million-pound-drop/#IDComment78546087 The question format is similar to "Duel": Place chips on one or more of the multiple-choice answers, then lose the chips that were placed on incorrect answers. I'd rather see "Duel" come back than this game.

The material was still relatively easier than that for civilian contestants. The final jeopardy clues this week would have been of round one $800 difficulty, except for Friday's, which was the only one which I didn't get right all week.

This prevents a player from withdrawal of spins just for the purpose of passing them to opponents. Also, banked spins can only be withdrawn if there are other spins in play. This prevents a player from pulling out a spin at what would be the last minute if the final spin moved a second-place player into first place. When there is only one (unbanked) spin left in the game, the host would issue a "last call" warning for players to convert banked spins into passed spins.

The contestants were playing solo for the run of the show until the celebirites showed up and made it a "team" effort. Just what all hopeful winners need, an idiot with an attitude to help you lose the game.

The first nine contestants are probably legally bound by the old rules as they appeared on Regis' show. They might even wait until after the "Tournament of Ten" before the update. We'll just have to wait and see.

Unfortunately, the ones that I saw were quite generic. There's a space with an airplane. Did I win an airplane, or a trip? Another one is a palm tree on an island. Is the prize a tree or a tropical vacation? The shuffle pattern on the website guarantees four, and exactly four, squares out of 18 to be a whammy. Those odds are greater than the overall odds of 1 in 6 on the original CBS-TV version, where anywhere from 0 to 9 whammies could be on the screen at once. (9 slides out of 54). We'll have to wait for the actual release to place final judgement on game, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
