DVD Giveaway Contest!

I want extra credit for getting #2 before the expanded picture.  It was #1 that got me.  The only "event" I could think of to fit the timefram was GameShow Marathon, when they had to move the big wheel.

Hmm... that's now how I got to the conclusion I got... All I found in common with all of those tape dates was that Push Over was played on all 7 of those shows for 5-digit prizes, and there were only 2 "significant" shows between those two dates, the Season 34 and 35 Premiere - of which only the Season 35 Premiere had Push Over played for a 5-digit prize.

I did figure out what #2 was about an hour after I sent in my original picks simply because I had figured out where you would need 5 voltage converters for - 5 numbers in the price of the car! I originally thought it was for the 5 bags in It's In the Bag or the More or Less sign - thinking that the picture had to have been one of the games seen on one of the MDS or 50th special.

on Picture #2.

I had the Race Game jukebox on that one.

Ok, I have to say I'm glad someone else didn't know what picture 2 was. I didn't submit guesses, but I had absolutely no clue what it was, even after help was given.  Seeing so many say it was "obvious" makes me feel like a....well, you can imagine.  My talents lie elsewhere.  I have zero ability to identify mystery pictures, but it was fun to watch the contest progress.

You weren't the only one.  I searched through the Golden Gallery to find a backstage pic that might shed some light and didn't come across anything, then I went to gscentral.net and looked at a bunch of pictures to see if I could match the general shape of the prop to anything.  I thought it might be Stack the Deck, but something about the backside of the photo threw me off.

It wouldn't have mattered anyway...I had #1 wrong.  Voltron had an interesting correlation there with Push Over that I'm sure very few other people would've picked up.

This was a very interesting contest, though.  I like trivia things like this (see also: Golden Road Rush), even though I never win...it's more of the challenge of trying to figure it out and watching it develop.

Drat! I had #3 easy (having a torrent of Bob's last MDS on your computer is helpful!). My first guess with #2 was the back of More or Less mainly because it looked like a newer prop. I also figured since pictures #1 and #3 were related, I thought all three pictures might be connected. So, the newest game on the roster for Bob's final MDS? More or Less.

However, I easily deciphered Stack the Deck on my 2nd guess. There just wasn't enough information for me in that picture before. The shapes of the cards were a dead giveaway.

Unfortunately, #1 did me in. I guessed Bob's "50 Years" special. So these were the dates on which the doors were redone? Can someone give me a list of what these "Specials" were, and how the doors were "redone"? The MDS's always used the same set of doors, I thought.

#1: I went with Bob's special, I do believe....wasn't even thinking daytime.

I thought #2 had to be the Race Game jukebox.....dang.

I got the game switch right away on #3, but I thought it was too easy, and the picture might have been taken before games were swapped around or something....so, I looked elsewhere.

Nice job to the winners...you guys deserve it.
