I agree, I think that was the right thing to do which I consider to be fair

The only reason why I thought why they might not have taken. It is because the category said things your child says. I was wondering if they wanted the specific word of your child as opposed to any child or kid. Otherwise, I completely agree with you. She said kid very early on. I don’t know if she would’ve gotten to 46 seconds or less. I actually think she would have, but it’s hard to say. And even then, in fairness, 46 seconds usually wasn’t a good enough time to end up in the final three of the $100000 tournament. She was a really good player, and those were two of the best celebrities to ever play that game.

Almost brings tears to your eyes. 🥹

I knew it!! God, I loved that show.

Under the name Mel Kennerly, YonatanDoron.

@YonatanDoron I THOUGHT she looked familiar!!! I wasn't a HUGE fan of "thirtysomething", but I did watch it occasionally. Thanks for pointing that out. (12/21/2021)

@@MrMike77471 Anytime.

I did not know that!!

For this one, yeah! There HAVE BEEN plenty of OTHER TIMES where a synonym was used INSTEAD OF the key word in the box, yet they didn't get credit for it!

As it turns out, there's two things at stake here. 1) The ruling could be that any time consideration would be nullified because instead of winning in X amount of seconds, she won by judge's decision/by appeal from Dick Clark - there wouldn't be a time consideration in that situation. 2) If they HAD addressed that and given her the 44-second time...that would have put them in something of a quandry. As it turns out, not only was 44 seconds the final minimum for this first tournament, there was also a tie for that time! There was one with 36 seconds and then two others tied at 44 seconds. (Marine Captain John Kiefer, who had qualified at 40 seconds, would be called away on assignment, thus having to forfeit his spot.) So, letting Mel in means there's one qualifier at 36 seconds and then three others all tied at 44 - ergo, four people "qualified" for three tournament spots. What do you do then? (And if John hadn't been called away, that's FIVE qualified for three spots.) Between those two things, it's difficult if not impossible to imagine a scenario where in the end she gets in based on this game.

@@michaelj.kerkau1625 Actually, if you watch, you'll notice that AFTER Markie said PASS, the box flipped, meaning that it was accepted! Why they retracted, just to green light it at the end, is BEYOND ME! She SHOULD have been in the 100 grand tournament

@@justrelax1539 I don't think that was them accepting the answer right there - I think that was instead them making an additional (separate) error of turning both boxes when they really only meant to open the $150 box for that one to start being played. If they had accepted the answer right there, then there should have been a "ding", yes? But, there wasn't. And then by the time $150 was guessed, $100 is back to showing its subject.

@@michaelj.kerkau1625 Either way, Markie STILL should not have had to go back to that box! They SHOULD gave it the green light the FIRST TIME AROUND! This was a HUGE judges error that kept her out of the tournament for 100 grand! The judges SHOULD HAVE kept a thesaurus or dictionary close by, and then it WOULD NOT have had to come down to an appeal

@@justrelax1539 See my original reply from months ago - even with giving it to them right away, that STILL doesn't guarantee she'd have made it in. (As it stands, she ended up winning more in the end than either of the two losing tournament contenders: She finished with $54,750 plus prizes, compared to $13,550 + a car for Robin Schiff and $48,400 + prizes for Toby Mandleburg.)

She worked as part of the behind the scenes staff-in fact she appeared on the last episode of a show called Split Second as they were saying goodbye…

@@2themoon863 WOW, I didn't know that! I loved Split Second. As I recall, the host was either Monte Hall or Wink Martindale. It aired in the early 1970s, when I was still in grade school. I don't remember much about the game itself. The thing I do remember is that the winner was given a choice of 1 of 5 keys to use to attempt to start one of 5 cars displayed on stage. If the car started, the contestant won the car and was retired from the game. If the car did NOT start, then the contestant got to return the next day, with one of the cars retired. If the contestant won again, he got to try to start one of the remaining 4 cars. This continued each day. If the contestant won 5 consecutive days, then he/she got to choose any one of the 5 cars to take home. I only saw THAT happen ONCE.

Actually, Tom Kennedy hosted the 70s one. Monty hosted the short-lived 80s reboot.

It caught me by surprise too; how many people have gone from producing to acting the way she did?

If I'm not mistaken, she was also one of the dealers on Jim perry's version of card sharks.

She said the word kid a lot of times and they didn’t accept it until Dick convinced them to accept it because kid is a synonym for child.

@@StLawrencePlace actually, after Markie said PASS, the box flipped, meaning the response was accepted! They retracted, just to give it the green light at the end! The judges error cost her a spot in the 100 thousand dollar tournament

Yep 👍! In fact, Allen, the late ⏰ Markie 📌 Post (NIGHT 🌚 COURT) died 💀 of cancer ♋ on August 7 of this year at the age of 70 in Los Angeles.

@@jmiller297 Of course. In fact, the late ⏰ Markie 🚩 Post (NIGHT 🌚 COURT) died 💀 of cancer ♋ on August 7 of this year at the age of 70 in Los Angeles.

Yep 👍!

@@jamesmcclelland1414 Ummmm... "Yep???"

@@jmiller297 You've got that right ▶️!

It's too descriptive. They could have said "a naked jogger/ runner"

It depends if it's in the main game or the winner's circle. In the main game you can be as descriptive as you like, use your hands. Just don't say part of the answer. Winner's circle, can't use your hands or be descriptive, give only a list
