All the more reason why I think the $0 spots should be retired!

if the $0 spots are retired, what would you replace them with?

I can't speak for b_masters8, but my idea for such an eventuality would be something like the "second chance" slips they used to have in Punch-a-Bunch--maybe a "Try Again" slot. Admittedly it would (potentially) eat up a little more airtime, but I think it would be worth it.

It's 9003K and has been confirmed. The calendars did not update for 12/30 and 12/27.

Perhaps move the $100 slots to where the $0's are and then make the outer edge slots something like $250.  Not a huge difference in the end, but still makes a contestant feel a little better that if they got several chips like this (meaning they were pretty good at the pricing part of the game), they'd still win more than those who don't get on stage get.

I'd be in favor of replacing the $0 slots with $100 and adding $2,500 slots to the board, making the distribution $500/$1,000/$2,500/$100/$10,000/$100/$2,500/$1,000/$500. Winning between $100 and $500 depending on the chips won is a little less of a downer than winning nothing, and Punch a Bunch has a minimum higher than $0 provided you win at least one punch.

I think they should be replaced with "LOSE EVERYTHING"

$100 is a pretty good replacement, if you ask me.

The same page says that 12/3 and 12/4 were repeats.

This page tends to be more up to date, although it is not entirely accurate (it still lists no new episodes on 12/27 and 12/30). Note that the air dates are not in order, and that some browsers do not show the dates at the bottom of the page.

A little late, but... Pass The Buck! One of my favorite games! Maximum number of picks!
