Featuring Big Winners of ``Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck''

be "Whammy!"'s own Todd Newton on a secret location safari as he attempts to
hunt down and capture the fearsome Whammy.

Shouldn't that be the title of a block of the biggest money *losers* on
the show? Shouldn't this one be called "When Whammys Don't Attack"?

More seriously, I find it lame to be doing these kind of retrospectives
on a show that is so new.

Didn't the guy on Monday's show win more than $14,000? (And it's not
one of these five above).

If I were that guy, I'd ask for my place in the sun...

Since George Gray pretty much wants to forget that abomination now that he's
made a respectable name for himself, I don't think we'll be seeing it again
anytime soon. :-)
