[quote name=\'Craig Karlberg\' date=\'Mar 27 2004, 03:42 AM\'] For what it's worth(and I hate to say it), but the practice of giving out "parting gifts" appears to be dead just like the dinosaur. IMO, money is just as good as a parting gift any day. [/quote]
Parting Gifts as in the sestet of items described at the end of most shows back in the day is over. However, contestants who don't appear on stage on TPIR get one or both of the items mentioned just before the SCSD, and I have heard John Moschitta do a plug for a merchandise prize worth about $500 that Squares contestants get if they win no cash this season.
As for Feud or Pyramid, I don't know what they get if they win nothing.
