| OTHER FUN CONTESTANTS |
| These are other players who came on Press Your Luck. So why am I singling them out? These guys were very interesting when they were on. Here they are: |
 |
| MAGGIE BROWN |
| Maggie, the omnipotent. All sites need to start with her. She starred in four game shows: the pilot of Second Chance, the pilot of PYL, a regular episode of PYL, and in Peter Tomarken hosted Wipeout. Peter had to remember her all too well. Maggie was a woman who made "hard things that clunk" and whose hair, as you could see, could hide several prizes and Whammies, so where to put all the winnings was no problem. But that wasn't what made her a star. Her big claim to fame was the fact that she was a nervous wreck the whole time. She would stop the board shouting "FREEZE! Oh, ah!" One time, she shouted "Huh? Oh, uh..." even though she hadn't hit a Whammy. Speaking of which, she HATED Whammies. One time, she shouted "Aaaaw, shoot!" whilst the Whammy danced her score away. All in all, Maggie was probably the best contestant the show ever had. |

| BEVERLIE PETERS |
| Have you ever seen the movie "The Cable Guy"? If so, you probably saw Beverlie playing PYL while Matthew Broderick was flipping through the stations. Let me tell you, Beverlie could really cross her eyes. Whenever she hit something big, like you see above with her hitting $3000 + a spin, she'd cross her eyes like a maniac. Once, Peter asked "My God, Beverlie, you look like you're in pain. Are you alright?" Guess she wasn't used to being excited... |

| JENNIE JONES |
| Confused? Change the ie to a y. Yup, that's the Jenny Jones we love (or loathe) today. Jennie won by both luck and stupidity. The player in third stupidly passed his spins to the player in first, who Whammied, leaving Jennie, in second the whole time, the champ. But she was still a good player nonetheless. Another odd thing that happened was that Jennie hit Pick a Corner and had the Whammy option. "Yes, Peter, I would like to lose my money and possible get myself out of the game" DUH. |
 |
| JIM HESS |
| JIm earned himself the reputation of being the most FOUL-MOUTHED player ever seen on any game show! In round 1, Jim hit his third Whammy and faintly says "Oh, sh**!" And then opponent Sam passes Jim his spins, even though he was in third. Jim says "Oh, geez, thanks a lot" and then Whammies on his final spin, constituting "GEEZ! F***! SH**!" from Jim. And the most amazing part? IT WAS NEVER CENSORED! To those who have a copy of this episode, consider yourself VERY lucky. |
