WoF 2/18/09: Allison Racey II (11 second $100,000 Loss)

[imal25]

That's Was Very Bad Oh Dear.

[imal25]

I don't Like It At All.

[BartJS300]

Tonight's WOF solution was JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD. I think he would have got it if the word JUNIOR was in there.

[WayoshiM]

@BartJS300 I agree, it was a rare case where a longer puzzle, with a J no else, made it easier.

That said, Q still killed the two teens last night

[im264shirt]

If that was me, I'd have torn my hair out (though I don't have any right now)

[abyss271]

the only thing that would have made this situlation worse was if there was $1,000,000 instead of $100,000 that would have been really really painful to see but still a painful sight to watch someone get so close yet so far from winning $100,000

[imal25]

It's was a very tough final round. very tough wasn't.

[imal25]

This one is so hard let's see what's happen now.

[imal25]

@imal25 Very Bad,bad,bad endgame so sad really sad ah! well go home and cry some more.

[antwan4000]

He came one second too late to be $100,000 richer. Do the Millionaire question wrong sound when they lose the $100,000 or the Million dollars

[BartJS300]

A $100,000 loss on this show will never be the biggest heartbreak in game show history. I remember the time on Who Wants to be a Millionaire when the guy phoned a friend on the $500,000 question and his friend confirmed a correct answer and when he made it his final it was WRONG! He then lost $218,000. Other hearbreakers happened on 5th Grader.

[cartoongameshowfan76]

Wow Vanna still looks great but I can't believe she is 52!

I can't believe he got that even afterwards.

The APOLOGY one I remember and that was painful!

[David9788]

now she's 53

[BartJS300]

Imagine how bad it would have been if he had brought the million dollar wedge to the bonus round

[antwan4000]

Painful failure.

at 1:48 you hear Pat Gibberish

[animfan1]

I know, had he called an A as a vowel, that probably would have done it for him. I would have gotten VARSITY SQUAD if he had called an A instead of O which happens to be the reverse of the vowel Allison Racey should have chosen for APOLOGY.

[puggie77]

Robert is so close He's almost a 3rd $100,000 Richer.

[animfan1]

The vowel Robert should've chosen was an A and had he'd chosen it, he would've won $100,000. The vowel Robert chose was the one Allison Racey should have chosen on March 11, 2008.

[animfan1]

If Robert hadn't lost that wild card during the game, he probably would have won $100,000. Had he'd chosen the vowel at 1:42, he would have had it. Alison would have won $100,000 had she'd chosen the vowel at 1:10. Alison settled for a better amount than Robert.

[aiecon]

hah i guessed it right off the bat, where is my 100k

[animfan1]

That A would have done it for Robert had he'd chosen it as a vowel.

[SaleGuy]

Allison Racey II got owned in the bonus round!

[BartJS300]

@SaleGuy It should actually be ownd.

[palmeristheshit]

not really a loss if he never had it in the first place

[radicalgarbage02]

lol she's a groupie and not a roadie.... wow....

[AyriaSchala]

They should do a "Second Chance Week" on Wheel of Fortune, if you ask me...

[animfan1]

One week from tomorrow, the biggest heartbreak in "Wheel of Fortune" history will occur one year ago.

[Imwolfe2junior]

what are you talking about?

[animfan1]

What I'm talking about is the 2 other consonants besides the Y plus the vowel which was an A that would have done it for Robert had he'd chosen them and also the biggest heartbreaker that occurred March 11 of last year.

[ldaniel2337]

i saw this one and i had it...!

[giovannipancia]

WayoshiM, do you have Allison Racey's $100,000 catastrophe in the bonus round? (I guess Allison Racey I?) =)

[WayoshiM]

I wish I had a recorder then, but nope. :(

[animfan1]

That biggest heartbreak occurred 1 year ago on this date March 11.

[Kickblckr]

wat was it

[animfan1]

It was varsity squad.

[Kickblckr]

not tht i was replying to someone else's comment

[animfan1]

It was apology.

[BartJS300]

@WayoshiM I did see that YouTube user generalflavor has it but I don't kow if anyone should trade for it.

[05309193]

Did Robert Actually say the full word "Varsity Squad" WayoshiM?

[WayoshiM]

See 1:39

[animfan1]

He did. If only Robert had chosen an A as a vowel, he would have won $100,000. The two consonants that might have done it for him besides the Y would have been a V & D.

[breakingtim15]

Ya I said it...just a little late. Too bad, Soooo sad!!

[whitismygurl07]

it wasn't really all that difficult of a solve i had it when the main package was put up

[mandyjon]

Do you have the full episode of tonight's Wheel of Fortune? A friend was one of the contestants but the show was not shown due to local bad weather. I would love to watch her and tell her where to watch. Thanks

[WayoshiM]

Sorry, my recorder actually failed me for a good-sized portion of the show. If the show was pre-empted it may be shown some time after midnight.

[germanname1990]

Yeah, unlike APOLOGY, I didn't get this one either. When Pat showed his reaction to what was in the envelope, I was like, "Oh my God! It's 100K!"

[animfan1]

Robert did the exact opposite of the vowel choosing Allison did in the bonus round. I'll tell you how that happened; On March 11, 2008, Allison should have chosen an O instead of an A as a vowel and if she'd done that, she would have won $100,000. Tonight, Robert should have chosen an A instead of an O as a vowel and if he'd done that, he would have won $100,000. Allison settled for a better amount than Robert which was over $24,000.

[carexpertandy]

Heartbreaking! I remeber something similar happening before!

[WayoshiM]

That likely would be APOLOGY, as I put in the description. That was a bit more right at the buzzer...

[carexpertandy]

Yep, that's it!

[Wolfman12395]

Even if he did call a D and an A I probably still wouldn't have gotten it. That was one of the harder puzzles I've seen in the bonus round.

[animfan1]

I know, if he had chosen a V & D along with a Y and chosen an A as a vowel, he would have won $100,000. The V really would have done it for him had he'd chosen it.
