Also for the following 2 Questions, I would have guessed 1 of the following 2. Mona Lisa City: 24-Paris 36-Milan Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory City: 6-San Francisco 5-London
I loved the Wonderwall! It causes the contestant to not just know the answer, but to find and announce it as soon as possible. This show would've killed the almost infinite amount of time for people to answer for a $1,000,000 by adding The Pyramid"esque" aspect to it.
One part I liked about the wonder wall is that they made it trickier by adding several similar answers that could also have multiple meanings in some cases. This one had both Cincinnati and Cleveland as Ohio cities, and I saw a British version that had multiple Bible books (Genesis, Exodus, etc), where Genesis was used to refer to the band. It made the whole thing a bit more challenging.
The British version also had "Major, General, Private" where Major ended up being the answer to a question about the Prime Minister John Major. Very clever.
I think it's because she already had the bailout active from having two strikes, thus the sound got faster to mean she could lose by either Strike Out or Time Out.
If that happened either way,Catherine Rahm would've had only $2500,she ended up with a total of $502,500.The highest scoring contestant.Was each person's Wonderwall answers and questions on the 3 pronged board random?
@@seanmontgomery801Each contestant was assigned a random preset question stack and associated answer wall yes, like on Millionaire. The show was actually a sister show to Millionaire, despite airing on competing networks it shared the same producers and composers
A half million dollars was the highest ever won in the short history of the Americanized version of 'Winning Lines', and it was won by that lady. Only once had a player (Jennifer) struck out and lost everything in the Wonderwall except for the $2,500 won from the preceding round.
If only she knew that Tara Lipinski was a skater, or the Pacific was deeper than the Atlantic, or she had more time to find the location of the chocolate factory. Oh, well.... Anyway, the Wonderwall is my all-time favorite bonus game!
They made the Wonderwall round super tricky for all 9 survivors especially Jenifer Caird the only person that went down on strikes.Very difficult board going back and forth,15 seconds,no answer or a wrong one ,a strike,2 passes,2 pitstops,3 strikes,ur out like in baseball. HATED WHEN THE OVAL WITH STRIKE OUT ON A RED BACKGROUND RUBBING IT IN.
This show was really great. It had somewhat challenging questions, but not too many questions, nor were they phrased too academically like other million dollar shows. The big downfall of course was how easy it is to lose and not make the wonderwall. In the US games in which everybody has more of a chance are more popular. I personally like this format, but it's perfectly understandable how it didn't succeed with the general population.
For the following 2 Questions, I would have guessed 1 of the following 2. What The B Stands For In BMW: 44-Bavarian 28-British Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory City: 6-San Francisco 5-London
Yeah, that's what happened. I was on the show, and they kept telling us before we went on to remember to use our pitstops if we got to the final round.
The side-scrolling is for the home audience's benefit (since we can't see the Wonderwall). The contestant has to actually search the 3 screens for the correct answer.
I miss this era when game shows were giving away too much money 😅 Seriously let's go back to WWTBAM having easy questions and game shows with broken ideas that give out millions, I don't even care if the show is boring, let's just all watch it and get people money 😅
I know she's the director of a stage version of the Little Mermaid a few years ago, the 500k may have helped her pursue that passion Shame she forgot the pass and the pit stop, but she got to live her dream with the 500k, it looks like
The wonder wall was very tough indeed.Not only finding the correct number and answer,but also watching the time.You need total concentration to try to win money.Sometimes players have difficulty.Jennifer tried but she had difficulty with the wall.Its like watching a tennis match.I felt very bad for her,those strikes are annoying ,especially the oval with STRIKE OUT inside it.Tough game to win on.
But that's why I love it. Not only do you need to know the correct answer, but have the mental agility to find it as fast as possible. It's better than waiting for someone to take 5 minutes to answer 1 question.
Kei Nanjo It's really a shame this show came out when there was a glut of million dollar prime time game shows, and not a year or more later where it could have stood out. The final round was really so amazing, and even better than the UK version because it had a loss condition as well as a question time limit. Much more difficult overall.
I think the reason the US version used a million dollar jackpot was to compete against Millionaire at the time. There were other million dollar game shows at that time (Greed, 21, It's Your Chance of a Lifetime, and Paranoia) that all competed against Millionaire. Winning Lines was the first to bite the dust.
GREED was produced by Mr. Clark and it was a successful Game Show on FOX, but the reason they cancelled it was real simple It was getting higher ratings than FOX's Signature Series The Simpsons and I think the Network Executives weren't too happy about it and cancelled it which was a HUGE Mistake I personally like GREED way better than Millionaire and this show was also better than Millionaire as well
Given the fact that CBS put it on in a Saturday timeslot, the show's demise was hastened. Were there any episodes of this show that wound up not airing in light of the show's cancellation.
@@tnawcwvictoriaThis show isn't too bad but I personally hate game shows that put strangers in a team that can sabotage each other like in Greed or The Chase, or the Weakest Link where the best players are targeted. They're real people who are good at the game getting sabotaged out of money by random idiots. I'll always prefer fair game shows, I hate bullshit that rips them off for home entertainment, I always loved how fair Millionaire is even if people think it was tame
I will admit I really liked Winning Lines although at the time, everyone I talked to who watched it mentioned their biggest complaint with the show was they couldn't "keep up with that Wonderwall thing." It is kind of an eyesore, a little bit!
Maybe she thought the same thing I was thinking, that she had 3 seconds left on the clock and thought that wasn't enough time to use that last pit stop (which was 15 seconds).
Yes. As dick Clark said in the rules, the bail out button was activated after a contestant either got two strikes or had 15 seconds left on the clock, at which point they could stop the round and take what they had one so far if they wished.
Would Catherine have been able to use her other pit stop with 6 seconds and possibly get 6 San Fransisco right and win $1,000,00? and do the pit stops freeze the 15 second and the 3 minutes counting down?
I feel very bad for Jennifer Caird.The board she had was mostly difficult, Shame it caused her to be the only strikeout victim in the Wonderwall bonus round.Was it random for each contestant and how did they choose the questions and the answers(49)?That's a lot to keep track of and very confusing.
@@EfrenBlackjackCongrats 👏. Did anything interesting happen in the unaired episode that CBS won't hunt you down for disclosing a quarter century later? I have learned that the show made up fake personas and everyone was really working in showbiz in California and weren't web designers in Texas or whatever. That's wild to me, lots of WWTBAM contestants were interviewed and told their true stories, I didn't think they'd still be giving fake personas to game show contestants in 2000, that was lame. Not a slant against Californian entertainers, just a bit lame the careers were made up apparently... Do you think the show shouldn't have been cancelled?
Well, how many in the UK version won the Trip Around The World (20 correct answers)? The clip that StarSyndicate has came direct from the Celador site, and the lady there got only 17 correct answers (meaning she got a trip to Hawaii).
Why the bloody hell can't these damned execs produce gameshows like this anymore! I hate today's game shows. Yesterday's made so much more sense, were a hell of entertainment, and were definite tear jerkers.
Although I don't blame her for bailing out, I'm going to have to be one of the many game show fans to point out that she had a Pit Stop! She could've used the 15 seconds from the Pit Stop to find the last answer and win the $1,000,000! I know I would've used the Pit Stop if I couldn't find an answer.
We can all say that from behind our screens as much as we want but if we’re being honest with each other and ourselves, we don’t know what we would or wouldn’t do if we were in her position. Perhaps under all the pressure and with so little time left, she forgot she still had that pitstop and decided to bail out.
and there is no doubt in my mind that the producers were hoping that the contestants nerves would've gotten to them and caused them to make a really stupid mistake. (all i'm saying is that no matter how you look at it, the producers basically lucked out, if she had had 2 more seconds on the clock she probably would've won
"Winning Lines" aired on CBS during the spring of 2000. Good show, but had the bad luck of being picked to compete with "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", and tanked in the ratings. No one made it to the million dollars during the show's run. Based on the British series, in which contestants competed for luxurious vacations instead of money.
the producers did luck out, big time, i have a feeling she probably took a guess at the "deepest ocean" question. (we all know that it was a 50/50 shot.) (had she gotten that needless to say, she wouldn't have needed the ghrirardelli chocolate factory.
And I thought she couldn't use it, until I was told that the Pit Stop (which is 15 seconds long) freezes the main clock (which, by the time the question was asked, was at 0:03). The factory was in San Francisco (#6).
David,you did the right thing bailing out and pocketing $25,000.Better than having a oval with the words "STRIKE OUT" in them and ending up with only $2500.They make the wonderwall extremely difficult when it goes back and forth.It's like watching a tennis match and your eyes get quite a workout.I would've done the same thing,if I had 400,000 and 2 strikes,if I couldn't find an answer ,I'd bail out too,No lie.Ur a smart man,David Wilson.
@@seanmontgomery801 The contestants didn't have the metronome scrolling. All the answers were spread statically across three big screens. It actually was harder at home than on set in that particular sense, but the pressure of the money and stage lights and everything means it's obviously harder for the contestant.
@@occono3543 It's funny looking back at this now that I'm MUCH older. There are some embarrassing bits cut out (It was my first ever taping and I didn't know what to do at times), but I will say that everyone was wonderful and I got a standing O from the other contestants as I was leaving the studio. Then later that same day another contestants won $400K. I can only imagine how he was lauded.
@@seanmontgomery801 As was mentioned, we had all the answers on big screens in front of us, so the scrolling was for the benefit of the home audience. Still, having an adrenaline-fueled panic rush trying to think of the answers and find it on the board was a lot for a 26-year-old kid who'd never even been on a game show prior. $27.5k for the day was not a bad intro.
@gameshowguy2000 I don't know the exact number, but I think I remember watching at least 4 people winning a trip around the world, if not more (I was quite the fan of Winning Lines)
@@JoeyLamontagneI think it was theoretically possible to win no holiday on the UK show but nobody came close. I can't remember anyone getting less than 10 answers right. (There was no strikes)
@gameshowguy2000 There was also The Chair with John McEnroe, but that only had a $250,000 top prize. He hosted the UK version as well, which had a lower top prize. The UK had Greed for a while as well, with Jerry Springer as host.
Yeah, I did. There's still more to put up, but I'm lazy. And actually, it's not Jelly Belly -- it's Ghirardelli. Though I can see how easy it would be to make that mistake. He's referring to the chocolate factory, which I believe IS in San Fran. But I'm amazed you knew that about Jelly Belly. Big fan of the J-beans, Al?
She did really good, most people's nerves would've gotten the better of them. She made half a million dollars, not bad at all! She's very good looking too! At least she was in 2000 when this first aired.
I think your version across the pond is much better. I don't think Winning Lines should've been made into a million dollar game show, in my opinion. If they left it as the trip around the world jackpot, it may have proven more successful
yea but she could have used her 2nd pit stop and find the last answer and win a million but was it cincinatti or london that that chocolate factory was in?
And I believe that last digit in the home viewer game should've been 6 (in two digits, that'd be 06), because the last correct Wonderwall answer was 6 (San Francisco), even if she wouldn't have gotten it in time, since Dick had already completed that last question.
And the # for the San Francisco answer's 6. And to my knowledge, the home viewer contest really killed the US version of this show. The UK version you got to play for a vacation. However many correct answers you had right was the trip you won at the end of the 3 minutes, though 20 gave you a trip around the world.
Best bonus round in any quiz game show ever.
And to make this even better, THIS HAPPENED ON THE VERY FIRST EPISODE!
Also for the following 2 Questions, I would have guessed 1 of the following 2.
Mona Lisa City:
24-Paris

it's nice to know she's the first one to face the wonderwall and the biggest winner in the us version of winning lines
She panicked... she knew it and she forgot she still had a pit stop!
Easily done if someone's counting down the last 10 seconds and, as you say, you panic
If this show were on a different night or an hour long, it probably would've lasted longer.

Or if instead of Dick telling her she had six seconds left, he reminded her she still had a pitstop.

yea but she could have used her 2nd pit stop and find the last answer and win a million but was it cincinatti or london that that chocolate factory was in?
Yep, 20 correct in 3 minutes wins you a trip Around The World.
And I believe that last digit in the home viewer game should've been 6 (in two digits, that'd be 06), because the last correct Wonderwall answer was 6 (San Francisco), even if she wouldn't have gotten it in time, since Dick had already completed that last question.
Ditto.
And the # for the San Francisco answer's 6. And to my knowledge, the home viewer contest really killed the US version of this show. The UK version you got to play for a vacation. However many correct answers you had right was the trip you won at the end of the 3 minutes, though 20 gave you a trip around the world.
And from what I can tell, that screen is probably an iMac computer (I think that monitor had an Apple logo on it).
Answer to that question was #6-San Francisco.
Real staying power, even when Link came along. But when both shows went the celeb route, that staying power was gone.
ghiradelli chocolate rulez
6-San Francisco.
she fails the 2 easiest paris and bavarian lol
worthless if she didn't know the answer.
Oh no, excuse me. I thought for sure it was British (the BMW), but my mom tells me it was Bavarian, or however you spell it. Excuse me on that
