While we are on the topic, did all Barry & Enright shows of the 70's & 80's give people who never had a turn a free pass to play in another match?
ISTR that in the early formidable Joker's Wild days if the champion (who would spin first) won on 3 jokers and the challenger never got to pull the lever, the challenger came back for the next match. I also thought I remember seeing a Bullseye game in which one player ran the board for a $2,000+ win, and the other player got to play again.
I can see the potential for running the board on Break The Bank, but were there potential situations for "owning" a match on TTD (during the red box years), or Hot Potato at any point?
