Title: TTTT question
Post by: gsnstooge on September 25, 2005, 10:28:45 AM
What did the guests split if they got no wrong votes on each of the syndicated versions as well as the CBS daytime version and the One-on-One segment of the 80-81 version?

Parting gifts?  I think if there were no wrong votes there was no cash awarded.

Well, in the 1990's run, the minimum award was $1000...so the team either split $1000 (1 or 2 wrong votes, even though each wrong vote was worth $500), $1500, or $3000 for a stump.

Which has nothing to do with the question at hand.

Doug -- and the countdown to 1500 continues

Sure it does. OP asked about "each of the syndicated versions." I knew the answer to the '90s version off the top of my head.

If there were no wrong votes in TTTT90 - if all votes were right - the teams split the minimum $1000.  The extra info was a bonus. Am I missing something?

TTTT 90 was on NBC.

Of course, the '90s version wasn't syndicated -- it was on NBC.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch by one minute.  Not my day. :-)

Yes they did. Going through my tapes, the episode the west coast saw on Monday, we on the east saw on Tuesday.  One later Elliot episode that week was unaired in the east.

Jimmy and Dave pretty much covered it, but consider that the 1990s run of TTTT is currently airing on GSN (and gsnstooge seems to be a rabid GSN watcher, since he posts a lot of "contestants on other shows" alerts from shows airing on GSN--it's info that he most likely already knew).

On the other hand, I shouldn't have been so harsh.  Sorry about that.

I saw at least one episode, possibly early in the Bud Collyer days (on GSN), where if there were no wrong votes, the team of challengers split $150.

In The Moore era, you got the bup of the kiss. I have two such eppys (it's Variety appreciation day!!) and in each Garry says, "Sorry, gentlemen, no money, but thanks for being with us".

But they did get the Sarah Coventry jewelry, the St. Mary's towels or the Samsonite luggage.  At various points during the run, the Central Character in each game got an additional prize.

And of course, in the network nighttime years each team always got the sponsor gift basket (everyone wants a bottle of Geritol and a package of Sominex)/carton of Marlboros or Salems on their way out.
