Title: TJW audience game question
Post by: SuperMatch93 on March 01, 2021, 06:44:42 PM
Was watching some Joker's Wild the other day when it occurred to me that in all the audience games I've seen in that show, I've never seen one where two or three players tie on their qualifying spin.

Has anyone seen that happen before, and if so, how was it handled?

Another question: Was there a time when players could give back the result of their first spin and take a second?

I can tell you with certainty that I saw one audience round where two people tied for first. 

I believe (not as certain) they just had the two top players spin again and they both got the total of their two spins combined with the higher score continuing on to Face The Devil.

This aligns with what I remember as well.  One of us probably has the episode, but I'm not going to dig for it ;)

Don't think it's turned up yet, but on Jack's (real)* last episode, there was indeed a three-way tie.  Or so I remember it being mentioned. 

When the AG began, didn't contestants take two spins? 


* - as opposed to the 1984 episode on the trading circuit that someone claimed was his last...it was one of what turned out to be a series where someone dubbed The Savers intro and closing over the show's opening and end credits.

AFAIK, yes. That was when it was only played weekly. When they started playing it every day, is when the normal "one spin per customer" rule took effect.
