This is the premiere of the 3rd and final season of "Press Your Luck," which will feature, at the beginning of each episode, including whammy scenes from the past, after announcer Rod Roddy (and sometimes Charlie O'Donnell, who fills in for him in April 1986, due to his car accident), say, "But they'll have to avoid the whammy, as they play the most exciting game of their lives." Also, new surprises, prizes and new scenes/sequences of whammy animations (after contestants land on them, even the new scene of "You're Out," by the Whammy Choir, which will show later).
This is one of my favorite episodes as the contestants clearly knew how to play the game properly. I see so many where people just keep going because they have alot of spins, not taking into account where things stand like dollar amounts and how many whammies are out. A shame one of them had to lose this one.
I think she just wanted to get it over with. My biggest pet peeve is when a contestant would stop the board when about 7 or 8 whammies popped up at one time!!!
I remember watching this episode when it was new. I felt very bad for Nancy. I said then I will say now got to let the board go around a little bit before stopping. She did get my favorite whammy the Michael jackson whammy
Nancy was a great player. Got 12 spins, and racked 25,000 dollars, if not for having to take that 1 last spin I think she would have won. But even it at the end she refused to pass her spins and kept going getting close to beating Mark.
Soulalonegirl instead of TheOctoberspirit. My account is a mess. Thanks for having this. It's my fave game show. I'm so glad someone else appreciates it too.
There have been many hit, and the prices always went back and forth from $2600 to $3800. The episode where Andrew loses by just $3 (episode 452), the price was $2600. I think the next one hit went back up to 3800. He should've won really.
Lol. I love the Michael Jackson Whamie. Miss Nancy pushed her luck instead of just pressing it. she got greedy. She should have passed those spins back to old dude.
According to Vahan, this episode is #506, with the next episode being *#507* from September 3, 1985 and PYL's Thanksgiving week aired for 3 episodes from November 25-27, 1985, not 4. There was no Friday episode of Thanksgiving week.
im just trying to keep it like what JH has on his episode guide so it wont be confusing to me when i upload them here. I understand that this episode is really #506.
Cathy ($31,408), Robert ($30,518) and (allegedly) Trish ($35K+) all said "hold my beer".... Also, on the series finale, Andy lost $25,972 after a Double Your Bucks + a spin hit... Forgot to mention Bobby from #483 who lost $26,229 to a whammy. As bad as Nancy's loss was, it wasn't even in the top five
I think you did, because you were looking at the GSN PDFs and you said that the November 15, 1985 episode was episode #560 and the last episode to air in their old time slot was episode #592. So if you include the unaired BTS episode in the episode count, there were 6 BTS episodes altogether so that puts this one at #506.
Lol the “shut your ass up” look Nancy gives Mark at 17:26
Can you blame her? Did you see Mark's hands in the air when she hit the whammy? I wouldn't blame her if she told him to fork off
18:15 Mark's game.
RIP Peter Tomarken and Rod Roddy

I think Nancy wants to take Mark out back and beat him up.
Lol. Yep. I would.

Why did Nancy stop the board so fast, when she hit that whammy.
Dan Barker By being dumb and too damn hyped up
Mark looks a little bit like Marc Summers from Double Dare and Other game shows
Why did you press the button so fast Nancy!!!! I bet she regrets this still to this day
she probably does
I think she just wanted to get it over with. My biggest pet peeve is when a contestant would stop the board when about 7 or 8 whammies popped up at one time!!!
What a tight game! Fergus, you played well. You too Nancy. But Mark edged them out.
Did the music warble? 7:02
Yep
Nancy played very well especially in that second question round until the last passed spin by Mark.
She rushed
I think the quick spin screws people over more often than not

She should have asked for enough to beat him. She was within catching range
The quick strike on the last passed spin hurt. Should have been patient.
Had she not hit a whammy she would've played exactly the way Beck did when she hit the $33 grand.
But, remember, Becky didn't have ANY whammies.

How many Big Screen TV's were there one was $3800 this was $2600?

@15:45 I knew something going to happen....smh

$1400 Michael Jackson concert.
You know who Mark resembles? the guy from the People's Court.
Doug Llewellyn.
Eew. Oh poor Mark. then I'm glad he won just for compensation.
Lol. I love the Michael Jackson Whamie.
Miss Nancy pushed her luck instead of just pressing it. she got greedy. She should have passed those spins back to old dude.
She couldn't pass. She had to take that last spin. Then she could have passed after. Her mistake was rushing.
If the final square Nancy had hit on those passed spin had changed to Big Bucks, it wouldn't have been a whammy loss.
$6900 winnings.
Nice.
Nancy She’s Out At 18:15

There are some painful whammies, but this one from Nancy is the ultimate worst
Not really, there was a $31,000 whammy in a 1984 game
@@nextbarker2702 True, I never thought about it that way
Cathy ($31,408), Robert ($30,518) and (allegedly) Trish ($35K+) all said "hold my beer"....

I never said there was only 3 episodes on Thanksgiving week 1985! There was 4! Who told you there was 3?

You're wrong. I never said Thanksgiving Week 1985 only had 3 episodes. I always said it had 4.
