The 60-minute Press Your Luck - Pilot #1

[Deleted]

I'm not really good with working outside the house, so I would like to find a job on the Internet.

(For my decision:  I think there's going to be some whammies hit soon, so I will take my chances & freeze.)

[CCSCO]

Announcement is made for your future employers. (cheers)

Now, back to the game, you're in the lead as of now, press your luck or freeze?

I think there's going to be some whammies hit soon, so I will take my chances & freeze.

(applause)



Michael, you have no whammies and 4 spins to take in round 2, see you there.

Next contestant is Kevin. Welcome to the show, Kevin. Please tell us about yourself.

[koopakid17]

I'm an accountant from Long Island, New York who likes game shows, video games and writing fan-fics.

[CCSCO]

I have to challenge you: make such a good show tonight that you'll write more than fan fictions: your autobiography. Good luck to you.

Press your luck (1-18) or freeze?

[koopakid17]

Our 4th and final contestant today has already hit a whammy, but the game is not over. Please welcome Michael K. (applause)

Michael, you've been quite unlucky thus far. Please tell us about yourself.

[larsonfan1]

Well I'm currently unemployed and I hope to win some money today.

[CCSCO]

Good luck in both these goals, Michael. See you in round 2.

Matt, back to you. You're not invincible anymore. Is your second place, spin wise, enough? Many whammies, but still many treats for you on this board. Press your luck or freeze?

[mringgenberg]

I'm going to freeze.

[CCSCO]

(applause) Six spins and one thousand dollars to your credit. See you in round 2.



Kevin, you're the only one left. What's your pleasure?

[koopakid17]

I'll freeze as well.

Welcome back to Press Your Luck, now for 60 minutes, it's time to play our second round of the game. As you can see, the values of the board have increased, up to $5,000 per spin, so there's much more to rack in this second round. We have one interesting prize among the others, I believe it's the diamond earrings. Rich?

(TPIR jewelry cue) From Neiman Marcus, this stunning pair of earrings is made of 18-karat gold, round-cut diamonds in four-prong setting totalling 1 carat. A prize worth $5,480!

(applause) Back to the game, no question round for now, we have to deal with the spins our contestants earned before the break.



The fewest number of spins goes first, and this is Michael K. with only one spin, no dollars and one whammy. Press your luck (1-18) or pass?

[mringgenberg]

Today, I'll be going camping starting this late this afternoon. I will return late Sunday morning.

[CCSCO]

Thanks for the warning. It seems you're not going to play until then, but obviously, if it goes to you Matt, we'll put the game on hold.

In the meantime, it's Michael K's turn.

[mringgenberg]

UPDATE: Due to the weather, I'll be at the campsite only from 9 AM to 6 PM Saturday and Sunday. Hosts, I'll be able to have access to the forums after 6 those two days.
