Who were the biggest NON-TOURNAMENT winners on both the Dick Clark AND John Davidson versions of The $100,000 Pyramid respectively?[/quote]
Sorry I missed the page. I was on the other line.
There were four contestants on "The $25,000 Pyramid" who won all 10 of their games. One was the aforementioned Barbara Schnell. The first was Travis Swords, whose reign was in August 1985. I'll hold off on the other two names, because depending on how long GSN keeps showing the $25K reruns, you guys might get to see them for yourselves, and I don't wanna spoil it. On the Clark $100K, only Ellen Gurstell won all 10 of her games, in January of 1986. There were no 10-game winners on Davidson's version, though there were a few 9-timers.
On Clark's $100K, the biggest non-tournament winner was Kathy Reksteiner, who won $66,450. She also must hold the record for most bonuses, winning five out of five 7-11s and four out of five Mystery 7s. On Davidson's $100K, the top money-winner who didn't win a tournament was Nancy Wold, who accumulated $39,900. Neither contestant participated in a tournament, by the way.
