What makes this the greatest game show ever is that the celebrity had to do more than show up, and connected with their fans on equal terms, since they were responsible for whether or not the fan made money.
Too bad a bunch of these shows, especially the $10,000 and $20,000 shows are gone (only a handful exist).Glad that the $50,000 $25,000 and $100,000 shows are still here!
Great win, and in unusual fashion! It wasn't often that you saw them skip one and still win. It happened several times, sure, but getting stuck enough on a card to skip it typically meant no big win.
I watched this clip with my head turned so I couldn’t read the answer. When she said “a fish out of water” I thought “things that are lost.” I never would have gotten to “slippery”.
Maybe the rules changed in later years, but I thought descriptive clues (a.k.a. prepositional phrases) were disallowed. Hence describing a fish as "out of water' would be disallowed.
I agree. I like the Strahan version but I find the WC categories are easier. Also, the judges are more lenient. I like this version of Pyramid better and It would be nice to see a daytime version return.
It was allowed because it is a phrase by itself. The preposition phrase rule was not absolute. Titles such as Seuss books: “Cat in the Hat” would be allowed. Famous Elizabeths: “The Queen of England” would be allowed. “A fish out of water” is a well known phrase by itself. “A mouse under the bed” isn’t a well known phrase by itself and that’s why it was buzzed on another episode.
jricci9 Ok, bear with me...I wish to make a respectful argument against your theory. It feels like there is a big flaw in your argument. "A deck of cards" does not describe the place or scene where it's at. "A fish out of water" gives you a description of where the fish is, or at least a very good idea. That's why it's illegal...it's descriptive and leading. "A piece of pie" can be anywhere. The waterless fish can only be a limited number of places. I realize that there is not good away to avoid a prepositional phrase with that clue, but I don't think that makes it ok. Sometimes you just can't give the clue you want.
Agreed. There’s an argument on another post about “your name in lights” for things on a marquee, which was allowed because it’s a common expression, like “fish out of water”. Some people are fixated on disallowing all clues with prepositional phrases.
It's descriptive but it's also the "standard" way to say when a fish IS out of water. My guess is perhaps that's the only reason it was granted acceptable.
I really think ‘fish out of water’ should have been buzzed, I know expressions are allowed but the saying has to do with someone who is new at something with no experience, therefor she was sort of dancing around the clue because she wasn’t using this expression correctly in relation to the clue

I just love her deep English accent LOL. "A fish out of woootah" lol
Obsessed! She's fabulous.

YES. Unfortunately the newer versions require the same thing but the celebrities all suck as players. And the players suck too.
The same could be said of many game shows. Password, for example, required intelligent celebrities.
Clearly said "Slippery" before the buzzer sounded. Congratulations on the win.
A fabulous win with terrific clues given by a wonderful and beautiful entertainer!!!!!
Oh the vintage Pyramid was such a great game show!
I miss Dick Clark. And when I watch these old reruns that I haven't seen I literally jumped out of my seat when they get the win it's so exciting

Unfortunately no channel carries game shows like this anymore.
Love these nick-of-time wins. So exciting!
For slippery, a wet floor comes first to my mind.
I just love this show
Me, too!! :-D
Same here❗💖❗💖❗💖❗💖
What a fabulous win and very well done !!!!!
I think "banana peel" would have given it to her right away. I think "fish out of water" threw her off.
I know that fish out of water should have gotten the buzz and no $10 000
i would have given soap, eel or black ice as clues
Miss Ms Lynn Redgrave 😢
I would have just said an icy road for "Things that are Slippery".
Great win, and in unusual fashion!
It wasn't often that you saw them skip one and still win. It happened several times, sure, but getting stuck enough on a card to skip it typically meant no big win.
Thank God for those good luck glasses.
Lynn's voice is cute, proper, and sexy all at once!
WHEW!!!! CLOSE ONE!!!
Ooooooohhhhhhh weeeee.. Dang that was CLOSE! GREAT WIN!
For "slippery things," how about "a freshly-waxed floor"?
I watched this clip with my head turned so I couldn’t read the answer.
When she said “a fish out of water” I thought “things that are lost.” I never would have gotten to “slippery”.
Slippery things = A metaphorical slope
An eel
An icy surface

They’re typically accepted for common phrases or names, such as “a fish out of water” or “the Statue of Liberty”.
"Slippery": A banana peel.
Too bad CBS can't revive a daytime version of this
I agree. I like the Strahan version but I find the WC categories are easier. Also, the judges are more lenient. I like this version of Pyramid better and It would be nice to see a daytime version return.
Fish out of water is a prepositional phrase. So that clue should have been disqualified...for sure.
well it's too late now. let's not dwell
I'm not dwelling on the mistake. But they were so precise with other judgements to a fault.
On the Mike Richards version, she definitely would have been buzzed since he always said no prepositional phrases!
It was allowed because it is a phrase by itself. The preposition phrase rule was not absolute.

wet roads, icy roads
A banana peel!
A fish out _____OF_____ water? bbbzzzzzzzzzzzt
*SLIPPERY THINGS*

*waxed floors/ wet floors*
*icy sidewalks / icy roads*
Rose Marie Kimble nice 👍
Banana peel.

Thanx
Fish out of water is ok because it's a common phrase. Deck of cards, piece of pie, statue of Liberty. Those are ok. Not illegal.

You do realize Jricci9 is the judge for the 100k pyramid with michael strahan, so his clues are 100% valid.
Don’t argue with J Ricci he’s a judge for the current $100,000 pyramid
Agreed. There’s an argument on another post about “your name in lights” for things on a marquee, which was allowed because it’s a common expression, like “fish out of water”. Some people are fixated on disallowing all clues with prepositional phrases.

BAM!
"a fish out of water" -- they let her get away with this? They have buzzed people for less than that on other episodes.

I thought for sure fish out of water would of been zapped
nintendonerdsvideos It should've been. It's descriptive. The buzzer should have sounded immediately.
It's descriptive but it's also the "standard" way to say when a fish IS out of water. My guess is perhaps that's the only reason it was granted acceptable.
Maybe cause it was such a S***TY clue they let it slide.
"Fish out of water" is a common phrase, therefore OK.
@@wschmrdr
I understand that argument, it was extremely close in my opinion. Probably could have gone either way.
Slippery Things..wet soap, grease,oil and a banana peel.
Who was giving the clues in the winner’s circle
Lynn Redgrave.
I love it when they get it with one second remaining.
I also love sexy English accents on beautiful English ladies. 🇬🇧❤
"...a banana peel..."
I really think ‘fish out of water’ should have been buzzed, I know expressions are allowed but the saying has to do with someone who is new at something with no experience, therefor she was sort of dancing around the clue because she wasn’t using this expression correctly in relation to the clue
banana peel
Those were bad clues for slippery.
How about a wet sidewalk. An eel.
Bathroom floor
Good one.
