Whammy! question
« on: May 30, 2013, 05:20:35 PM »

When a contestant got both halves of the car key, did the value of the car go into the player\'s bank and count towards score?

On that same note, the value of the car was also added to the Big Bank when both car halves were lost to a Whammy.

As I recall, the Suzuki automobile was one once in regular competition.  The other time it was awarded was during the tournament of champions.

On the subject of Whammy! I\'m still trying to figure out why exactly it was cancelled.

I thought the GSN changeover was the main reason. Guess not. Thanks anyways.

If that was the case, Lingo would\'ve bit the dust as well. Whammy! was the last of the 4 shows Game Show Network took on in 2002 that was renewed, after Friend or Foe, Russian Roulette, and Lingo. That tells me they took some deliberation to go forward with another season.

Ten years later and you\'re still working on that?
