Charles Nelson Reilly, who admitted in '77 he was Brett Somers's rival as they often argued , one of the regular panelists and one who was often involved with directing Broadway plays, would often make remarks regarding Gene's acting such as "I like when you act" and "That was mediocre" when Gene did a voice like this; this tended to draw a big laugh from the audiences.
At times, questions would deal with the fictitious and often sleazy country of "Nerdo Crombezia". On Match Game PM and the daily syndicated version whichever player was ahead in points after Round 1 always began by choosing a question first in Round 2. This rule ensured that both players would be able to play two meaningful questions.
Only celebrities that a contestant did not match could play this second round. On the CBS version, challengers always chose a question first in the next round.
The second round questions were generally easier and were usually puns that had a "definitive" answer for instance, "Did you hear about the new religious group of dentists? This was to help trailing contestants pick up points quickly. Again, the only celebrities who played were those who did not match that contestant in previous rounds. The player who matched more celebrities at the end of the game is declared the winner. If the players had the same score at the end of "regulation", the scores were reset to On PM or on the syndicated daytime show if time was running short , a time-saving variant of the tie-breaker was used that reversed the game play.
The contestants would write their answers first on a card in secret, then the celebrities were canvassed to give their answers. The first celebrity response to match a contestant's answer gave that contestant the victory; if there was still no match which was rare , the round was replayed with a new question.
On the CBS version, the tie-breaker went on until there was a clear winner. If it came to the sudden-death tie-breaker, only the final question the one that ultimately broke the tie was kept and aired. The CBS daytime version had returning champions and the show "straddled" — that is, episodes often began and ended with games in progress.
On the daily syndicated version, two contestants would play two games against each other, and then both were retired. The show was timed out so that two new contestants appeared each Monday; this was necessary as the tapes of the show were shipped between stations, and weeks could not be aired in any discernible order a common syndication practice at the time, known as "bicycling".
If a Friday show ran short, audience members sometimes got to play the game; this occurred on only three occasions. A two to four word fill-in-the-blank phrase was given, and it was up to the contestant to choose the most common response based on a studio audience survey. After consulting with three celebrities on the panel for help, the contestant chose an answer they liked the best, or chose one of their own that they thought of themselves. If a contestant failed to match any of the three answers, the bonus round ended.
This has rarely occurred. In order to win the money, the contestant had to match his or her chosen celebrity's response exactly; this meant that multiple forms of the same word, e. The latter has occurred at least twice. Richard Dawson was the most frequently-chosen celebrity in the s version. His knack for matching contestants was so great that producers tried to discourage contestants from repeatedly choosing him, even before the introduction of the Star Wheel; in a rule was added, stipulating that a returning champion could not choose the same celebrity again for the Head-To-Head Match - this only lasted six weeks.
Plinko has become an all-time favorite pricing game on The Price is Right, arguably the most popular of all pricing games portrayed on the show. The Wall is an example of a game show that contains elements from Plinko, like slots that contain certain money values.
However, the rules of that show differ greatly from the rules of Plinko and the cash prizes are much higher. Also, money can be dropped from the player's total. This is one of the few games in which the announcer gives the name of the game "You're going to play Plinko To date, several officially-released versions of Plinko have been made for home play; most as part of home versions of The Price is Right , and one as a stand-alone version of the pricing game.
For each "chip" earned, the deck was shuffled and spread out face down, with the player choosing a card and earning the value on the card. In both versions, the player "drops" chips from one of five possible positions on the top of the simulated Plinko board. This self-contained console had a miniature Plinko board on its back, complete with miniature Plinko chips and a plastic cover over the pegboard to keep the chips on the board.
This home version is also notable for having a miniature Showcase Showdown Wheel on the side of the console. Plinko has also been a pricing game in many of the various video game versions of Price both console and online , and several arcade and gambling game versions of Plinko have been produced.
This version contained a partially-assembled wooden and plastic Plinko board with the standard prize layout standing about 3 feet tall. It came with pre-installed plastic pegs attached and plastic "zig-zag" sides. No front cover was included to hold the chips in on the peg section of the board, so chips COULD bounce off the board before landing in a prize slot.
Like on the show, players could only drop one chip at a time, to activate the trademark chip-dropping sound. This version was meant to be played as a party game rather than a stand-alone in itself.
Instead of playing the standard opening pricing game to earn chips, a deck of 50 double-sided cards depicting different pricing games was used.
These games were played by a single player to earn a Plinko chip. Still, others used a version of Contestant's Row , where all players made the usual One Bid to earn a chip. Version , where players play a One Bid guessing the price of an older item from a specific time period example: How much was a portable cassette player when they were first released in ?
