Ten Great Winning Reactions on Press Your Luck.

[MrBennetzen]

#4 Never taunt the whammy!

[CapnE625]

#2 You can tell the blonde dude was crying his eyes out... wouldn't blame him, $8500+ dollars is a lot of money. You can tell he was crying when Peter said "Don't worry about it..."

#3 That mustache dude is such a real life troll... the only thing that would of made him a bigger troll is if he had gelled back hair XD

[KPCarter2000]

@CapnE625 Peter was saying " Dont worry about it...."to Lela because her mic got disconencted when she went to hug Peter and you couldnt hear her reactions.

As popular as this gameshow; Press Your Luck, was, and still is, I think CBS can bring this one back, since Let's Make A Deal has made a comeback to CBS. Not only that, Pyramid also came back. But Press Your Luck had that excitement and enjoyment of winning money. I saw for daytime programing on CBS, lets bring it back. I ain't talking about GSN's version of Whammy-The All-New Press Your Luck, I'm talking about the classic version, or a newer version that looks very close to the original.

@ShadowChanceSassy

"I saw for daytime programing...?" The way I've read this, I'm sure you meant to type "I ...SAY for daytime programing..." And yes I think original Press Your Luck can make a great comeback, if CBS wanted to air it again. Although, with Peter dead, after that tragedy with his plane crash in 2006, who would be a good replacement for a game show host? Someone we know or someone brand new?

[CelesteK]

I don't ever think I saw anybody hug a gameshow host like that. LOL!

[bigtank3938]

Btich I won!



[DJCandyManMike]

I'd have probably been a cross between Patrick and Gene. This was so awesome to watch! I can imagine the day Rita won, Peter was having a pretty good day.

[gameshowluvr86]

#1 WAS THE SHIT!!! :-D

[gameshowluvr86]

0:52 "I'M SO... HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!"

LOL!!

[lojosol]

with moments like these you wonder why such a great game show was discontinued...

[cbaldwinjr]

Oh and BTW...Gene's the best ever. That was a clip they used in the opening montage pretty much until the show stopped airing. Bring back the patches on suit jackets!

[cbaldwinjr]

That Beverlie must've been an all-timer in the sack...screaming, eyes rolling, lmao. That was hilarious

[DJCandyManMike]

@cbaldwinjr

So I wasn't the only one who noticed that her eyes crossed at one point.

[cbaldwinjr]

Patrick was just imagining all the cocaine that $16K+ in cash and prizes could buy haha

[Ultimate23Dragon]

I was about to ask you where that college student was but then I saw her. Nice list! I don't recall #2, glad I saw it!... I think you got this list right on the nose!

[msufandan]

#3 was my all tie favorite!

[Ezr1987]

TOKYO!!!

[Kepley100]

Man, I miss PRESS YOUR LUCK (my favorite game show EVER) and  I miss Peter Tomarken (one of the saddest deaths in the game show world, R.I.P.)!

[wisp2007]

Didn't I see Alpha (from #9) on Blockbusters once?

[Doomraider1]

#10 Biggest blunder...Ever!

[gobo760]

@Doomraider1 what was the blunder?

[DustyYAY]

@gobo760 Instead of taking the $1000+Spin and giving herself a chance to either spin and win more money or pass to her opponent in hopes that she hits a Whammy, she took the trip which wasn't worth enough to give her the lead (and the game).

[mrpersonality0784]

#4 was the funniest..."Whammies you come out, you're dead meat!" LOLOLOL Sad though she didn't win

[Frankie2Jersey]

I'm surprised Jimmie wasn't one of the top 10

[MrRgeller]

@MrBennetzen I agree worst move ever.

[starlyfan23]

At #3, Gene definitely had the best reaction out of everyone. But that's just my opinion.

[MrBennetzen]

#10= Worst move ever!

[David9788]

tell me all ten of the winning reactions i'm scared to watch it

[RingtailStudios]

#7 should've made the intros.

[M200XL]

I was hoping colleen from a few episodes before lela would make one of these.

[edelric86]

#5 is my favorite with the cross-eyed contestant. She goes cross-eyed every time she gets excited.

[jhecht424]

@edelric86 she was also on TPIR a couple of years earlier. She wasn't as hyper as on PYL, but was still quite lively

[edelric86]

@jhecht424: Wow! I didn't know that. They showed some episodes of TPIR on GSN. I got to see some episodes of TPIR of 1976, 1979, 1982, 1986 and 1992 on GSN, but I don't recall seeing her on one of the episodes. Oh well!

[jhecht424]

@edelric86 the show she was on was taped in December 1982, broadcast on 2/2/83. She was the last contestant called, but still got up on stage. She played Grocery Game and won, and also got to the Showcase but unfortunately overbid. Bob had a lot of fun interacting with her.

[flokatirug]

@jhecht424 Has there ever been a way to watch that online?

[flokatirug]

I wondered where Ruth would be in your countdown. Do you remember Marlise?

[Frankie2Jersey]

@flokatirug who's Marlise?

[flokatirug]

@Frankie2Jersey 1986 champ who really wanted a Mexican Cruise.
