...or was I high? (Coulda been, I was less than 24 hours removed from my 2nd hip replacement this year, watching from my hospital bed.)
Pretty sure it was the 1st Showcase Showdown. Lowest qualifier spun $1.00. Then one of the other contestants also spun $1.00. When (IMO) it should have been time for a Bonus / Spin-off tiebreaker, only the higher qualifier took a bonus spin and advanced to the Showcase. (ETA: I now have a clear memory of the 1st spinner not being under the scoreboard and wondering, \"why did she exit, she\'s got another spin coming...\")
Did I miss something? (Not Tuesday morning\'s dose of Oxycodone, that\'s for sure!) Or, given the increased bonus values ($10k / $25k of the Carey era vs. $5k / $10k,) was it decided that a lower qualifier\'s $1.00 could be trumped, leaving them $1000 richer but otherwise $crewed? (Now that I\'m writing this, it\'s reading more and more absurd, esp. since today\'s rerun had a spinoff at $0.80.)
/Released from hospital yesterday, home and hobbling on a walker. Thx for ask... oh, you didn\'t.
I just pulled 8/27 from the scrap heap, there was a single $1,000 winner in each half and no bonus spins.
Thanks, Travis. Cancel yellow alert.
