You said a mouth full! I saw this pilot recently and Byrnes was beyond atrocious. He made Patrick Wayne look good and that's no exaggeration.

This is actually what they do on the Australian version...however, if you hit a Bankrupt, you lose that money, whereas the money earned from winning a round is safeguarded.

And you could kinda tell he was drunk in the pilot clip shown on WoF's 3000th ep a few yrs ago...watch him as he says \"Spin that wheel...give it a good spin, Roseanne!\"

The best part of this pilot came at one point where a contestant decided to solve the puzzle and he yelled something like (he yells through the entire show, btw), \"What??? You're kidding me? You're breaking my heart! You could win soooo much money.\" The contestant looks kind of flustered then says, \"well, OK\" and spins again. Weird!
The guy is very creepy...like a slimey 70's swinger or something. When the female players were shopping, he would stand uncomfortably close and kind of leer at them. :)

That's what I was thinking, too.
I don't remember that from the Aussie version, though when I was there I was flipping channels between that and Burgo's Catch Phrase. The thing that struck me was that for winning one round, all the contestant took home was a leaf blower.
