Worst Case Scenarios

[quote name=\'whoserman\' date=\'Dec 31 2004, 01:23 AM\']We've practically begged for quite some time for a killfile. Now that it's here, it's not very fair to say that it's not good enough. [/quote]
If I was paying for a service, and I was not satisfied with the end product; I would be complaining.  The "Ignore User" feature is a failure.

Worst case scenario?  A contestant loses her top on national TV, and exposes her clevage to all. Oh wait.

Two last season. One came when the contestant elected to give. The other was with Flex, from "One on One."

Oh, absolutely.  That said, we're not paying for the service.  Certain of the mods are.  If you want to... "suggest" ideas to Invision, I doubt anyone here's going to object, assuming it's done constructively (repeat to the more caustic members of the board: constructively).  But we're not the ones ponying up for this particular service.

Were I a mod, my response to a continued complaint about this would degenerate into commentary of the "start your own board" variety.

Cripes, that means Zinkin is more tolerant than me.  How times have changed.

Tried that. Turns out, as a non-paying customer, I don't have access to the appropriate forums to make said requests. My requests to our moderators to pass along my suggestions to those in a position to respond to them were ignored. I doubt this was malicious, something else prolly was on their minds at the time, but, nonetheless, I needed their help (and this was BZ, or Before Zinkin, mind you), and got stonewalled.

When no one wins the $50,000 on Fear Factor. This happened for the first time EVER earlier this season with the "Best Friends" show.

When a DOUBLE ZERO tie occurs on Street Smarts. This does happen from time to time.

[Steve Gavazzi]

I know this never happened, and I know they'd never have let this happen...but it would have been interesting to see two contestants stuck at 0-0 for a whole week of syndie Match Game.

I have a clip from Osmond's Pyramid with one of the winless winner circle rounds.  Please pardon its quality.

Obviously, to add to this list would be:

No positive scores at the end of Double Jeopardy (don't think that has happened, a couple of solo runs "against the house" have, though)...

Have to wonder, for our Mexican friends:

Since "Rapido Dinero" appears to be much more difficult than the American counterpart, any total zeroes on the bonus game in Cien Mexicanos Dijeron?

[BrandonFG]

All zeroes in Fast Money, from BOTH team members.

This also happened once on the Osmond version, as I saw it recently shown on PAX. I can't remember whether it was Season 1 or 2.

PAX is currently rerunning season one, pre-scoreboards on podiums

How about taking all 60 seconds of the Double Dare obstacle course to find the first flag (pilot not included). I think I remember an episode where it took an obscene amount of time to get the flag from that hourglass thing with the orange balls.

PAX (or at least my local affiliate) is also currently rerunning season two in a different time slot, Zach.

And I could swear someone already said that it happened on Osmond Pyramid. =P

(Seriously, that makes at least twice on Jump Cut Theatre.)

Just to prove that I watched Double Dare for its intellectual benefits, did a team ever get shut out in the main game on any version?

If I am not mistaken, I have heard that a family was shut out in a 1991 episode of Family Double Dare $925-$0.
