Down to the wire moment #8 -- The $25,000 Pyamid -- Dick Clark

[ReturnofLatinPupE]

This doesn't qualify as 'down to the wire', they had 19 seconds left!

I've always said this game should have had a tenths digit on the timer like the Scrabble Sprint did.

they had me on the edge of this seat

Polka-dot is definitely a buzz out.

Who is the blonde woman?

[ErniePaulGeorge]

@SchwarzeWitwe2 Shelley Smith, one of the best celebrity players, former model (and actress), key person/founder in an Egg Donor program in California (I believe a psychologist now or at least a counselor)--I looked this stuff up when asked before on another Pyramid clip, going off of memory.

@ErniePaulGeorge Thanks :)

A tailor has stitches? I thought that might get buzzed for not fitting the subject. Perfect clue for wagon: the Conestoga driver.

I always wondered how many people it took to control the large pyramid.

[ReturnofLatinPupE]

This was not a 'down to the wire' moment. They actually had 19 seconds left!!!

@ReturnofLatinPupE the 2nd person had 1 second left!

[ReturnofLatinPupE]

@fuunygurl10 My bad, I didn't notice there was a second bonus round in the clip. Only watched the first.

For "Things in a wagon" I wonder if they would've taken "The Radio Flyer Logo" or something to that effect as a clue.

[Sonic3000]

Now as for "covered wagon", if this was Donny Osmond's pyramid, they would not have taken it.

[almightytora]

I think the contestant saw she had less than 3 seconds and just spit that out, and I bet she's glad she did.

[pjkrahn0202]

I checked the dictionary (Oxford edition), there is nowhere in the definition about spot and dot being the same; on the flip side dot and spot are the same. if shelley said a dotted dress, i think she would have been zapped but, i think she went around a sneaky, and legal way. I would not have said that, i would have said a leopard and a cheetah

[PriceRight89]

I think the judge was asleep on "a pokla-dot dress!"

[darkpowrjd]

@PriceRight89 She didn't say "spots". I'm guessing that made it okay. As long as her clue didn't have the actual word from the answer in there, then it's acceptable.
