Well since the first episode of the first $100,000 pyramid tournament of the Davidson era is up, I can add GEOGRAPHY, EXTREME, INTIMATE, and SETTLED to the list of toughies.
Ironically the Dick Clark version used the "Things that STICK OUT"category in the Winner's Circle for the $100,000 tournaments too....in the third $100,000 tournament with Mary Cadorette/David Graf, Things that STICK OUT was the $200 category. Here in the Davidson it was the $300 category. Bad fail for the producers there. COTTON Things was the hardest one in this round.
I also forgot to add certain things to the Davidson version----CRACKLE was also another toughie for the $100K Tournament. They did use INTERPRET (which was really hard) and PITCHER, as well as DISSOLVE for the $10,000 consolation.
Things at a CONVENTION, COTTON Things, and Things that STICK OUT---are toughies IMO. But looking at the Dick Clark tournament version of $100,000 pyramid: they used PROTRUDE---and the John Davidson tournament version used STICK OUT--I felt that the John Davidson tournament versions are a little easier, yet there are some toughies which are not comparable to the Dick Clark tournament version.
@Sjsuman5000 I know! During the Dick Clark era they had: ENSHRINED, GLISTEN, TRICKLE, SPUTTER, TRANSFERRED, INTERPRET, PROLONG, PENETRATE, COMPARTMENTS, CONFISCATED, need I go on. Those were $100,000 clues. Those were true MONSTER CLUES. Those winners earned that 100 grand. The Davidson era does not compare.
@bdwriley The only toughies that were used in the Davidson version of the Tournaments in my honest opinion: IMPORTED, PRIMITIVE, SOPHISTICATED, DEDICATED, CIRCULATE, FRAGILE, COUNTRY. In the $10,000 consolation rounds---the hard ones I found were ISSUED, Things on THE GROUND, CHARTER, Where you BROWSE, INHERIT.
Dick Clark's version: The ones you mentioned, plus in my honest opinion: CIRCLED, WARPED, Things UNDER OTHER THINGS (who would get that one?), SOLD BY THE POUND,
Actually, they flash when all 6 are won, but your reasoning may be true too.
But... when I actually watch it after the explanation by Davidson, it is flashing the same way, which meant whoever was running the lights messed up as well.
They couldn't have re-enacted the play nor given them 6 new subjects, as that wouldn't have been fair.
Nope, they lit up in that ascending fashion during the theme regardless of whether the bonus round was won or not. Did that in the '80s version as well.
Yeah, I've always been really grateful Peggy ended up pulling it out. Imagine how awful it would have been to have come that close and lost it to someone else. She won on the second half of the same episode, no less.
What I didn't like about John Davidson was that he just seemed to be in love with himself 90% of the time. That and he could be such an airhead sometimes...
Ahhh... 1991. The fanny-pack was cool, the music group Color Me Badd was popular, and John Davidson stank up The $100,000 Pyramid. Good times, good times... ;)
I saw the entire episode. Hillary Bailey Smith looked visibly pissed off for the rest of the game because they came SO close to winning it all in the first round and missed it by one word.

@Sjsuman5000 For 'THINGS THAT STICK OUT', the perfect clue is A SORE THUMB. Easy as pie!
'THINGS AT A CONVENTION"?? The DELEGATES. BALLOONS. CANDIDATES. DEMOCRATS...REPUBLICANS...THE NETWORKS

This video is definitively why the JD version is inferior to the Dick Clark version:
JD $300 category: Things that Stick Out.
DC $250 category: Things that Protrude.
The latter is clearly a more difficult, refined word on a lower dollar level.

Did any contestants give the clues in the Winner's Circle in Davidson's version or were they even allowed to?
RedNekLvr22 3 years ago
Funny how at 1:43 ... even the clue starts flashing, which would signify a win, but yeah... "stick" and "stick out" are different.
almightytora 3 years ago
Yes, and the studio lights also lit up. The theme music did not play. Instead, the clock ticking resumed.
PriceRight89 3 years ago
I believe the clue is flashing to try to bring Hillary's attention back to it and have her realize she hadn't read the whole thing.

Yeah, that is what I meant. The "THINGS THAT STICK OUT" is flashing like it is won (or lost like it is in the end). Sorry for not being clear enough.

Sorry to reply twice, but amazing how fate really wanted her to win the $100,000 (see video "u4Geg57QBzc").

Hilary took too much time on "Cotton Things." Here is the best clue: A Q-Tip

Now that's a great clue! I don't think other celebrities would have thought of that but it certainly does narrow things down.

What I don't get is why she'd guess "Things that stick" for the clue "a pin". A pin doesn't stick. Glue sticks, but a pin??
