Press Your Luck - Episode 8

(Original air date - September 28, 1983)
**SPOILERS**
Ah, I like it when the last spin has some real tension behind it!
So again we get Maggie as the winner, her and her ridiculous perm head both. Oh well, why not, I wonder if she'll offer any personal details about herself at all tomorrow. So far I have no idea what kind of person she is, since all she offers at the start of the show is how eager she is to not be asked questions. WHAT DARK PAST ARE YOU RUNNING FROM, MAGGIE CURRAN?
So Donna has to be one of the worst players yet in this shows early days. Girl hit whammy after whammy. I loved her answer to the Foie Gras question, chuckle, sparrow, huh? Nicely played. Not only that, but 2 spins into the second round, she passed 4 SPINS to Rocco with only $3,000 won. WHAT...? Damn, I'm marking her down for an error in my little statistic project for sure, that was just dumb. After she passed she pretty much needed Maggie to whammy with her two spins to stay in the game, it didn't happen and now we are rid of Donna, tootles, love!
Maggie - Second win - $6580 / Total winnings - $12,680
-Bahamas - Trip for 2 for 6 nights at the Nassau Beach Hotel ($2,080)
...(I looked, and it seems that nowadays that trip is about $7,000, oh how times change.)

Note that this is the first episode with the "Whammy" sound effect when landed on and the correct sound when spins are passed (as opposed to the standard ding).

10:54 "I'm getting a little tired of them too, Donna." LOL!

[@wns808]

The Whammy in Square 5 that was backwards on the Demo board is now fixed

[@johnnysama]

This has got to be the most nastiest ep in the run up to this point! So much viciousness, it was a sign of what was to come with this show! XD

[@JonesDylan874]

@Maggie Curran Oh, that's cool, and pretty bad to hear. How was your experience on PYL?

[@JonesDylan874]

@Maggie Curran That's cool to hear. I love hearing stories of people who were on game shows.

[@jamesbond007816]

Peter said this was maggie's third game but it was only her second game

[@DaveGamesRoom]

Thanks so much for uploading the entire show, think i just watched an episode of Sale if the Century where this same Maggie won couple show as well in 1985.

@Maggie Curran And your Clapping Hands win your Cash & Prizes together!

[@markheying2830]

@Maggie Curran Do you remember which Floor your Room was on at that particular Bahamas Hotel?

[@markheying2830]

@Maggie CurranAlso at that time, the following 8 Prizes were of my highest priority besides the Car & any of the Hawaiian Trips.
Curacao > Hong Kong > Tent Trailer > Catamaran > Bedroom Set > New York > Miami > Dining Set

10:49 BANKRUPT 3 Strikes I’m sorry

[@donnapodhurst6552]

Peter directed them to Whammy that one lady and we know it

[@JoeyLamontagne]

Um, she would still lose with 550...I think he meant 720.

[@alexhoule6805]

It's way awesome!

[@aaronbaker5887]

Not to mention that this is the first episode with the red windows for Round #2. In Round #1 there are dark blue windows in this episode.

[@eagleslfootball]

I liked the red windows, although those were just lights. They only lasted until episode #22

[@markheying2830]

@@eagleslfootball Also do you remember how much the Maui Trip is?

[@eagleslfootball]

@@markheying2830 I say for that time around $1500.

[@markheying2830]

@@eagleslfootballAlso further more, out of all of the Hawaiian Trips, which one was the most expensive?

[@eagleslfootball]

@@markheying2830 I'll have to think about that one. It's been a few months since I've last watched an episode

[@tpir1972]

This is also the first episode w/o those WHITE $2000 slides, right?

[@ultmswag3170]

And the first time you hear the Landing on a whammy sound

[@M200XL]

9:04, board screwy?

[@anisafaruqi9330]

When was Lose a Whammy introduced on the board?

[@franklinmcnally1484]

We hear a foghorn sound for hitting a Whammy.

[@ericsanjuan2002]

The car makes its very first appearance!

[@markheying2830]

Also if I remember, if someone wins the Car, the Crowd goes wild.

[@ericsanjuan2002]

8:46 BANKRUPT the Whammy ouch!!!

[@ngarcia103]

I wonder if anyone ever whammied out in round one during Press Your Luck's run.

[@LVSignChick]

I've seen most of the episodes, and no one I saw Whammied Out in Round 1...

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

Hmm..... good question

[@markheying2830]

@Maggie Curran Maggie Brown was on the Pilot Episode.

[@Sycophantman]

Oh nifty! I didn't notice the first time around, how cool is that?

[@dickassman9244]

Furries are trash

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

Peter had people paranoid about playing their spins in the early days. He tried to talk Alison into passing with only $750!

[@lavonnemariebrown7142]

Donnas cheating
