Title: Pyramid contestant Q
Post by: jlgarfield on February 01, 2022, 04:41:18 PM
Hi, all. Here's something that crossed my mind. Was there ever an ep of any version of the Pyramid where both contestant were men?

Probably a $100,000 tournament one.

I guess you're talking about the classic versions, because I've seen it happen a couple of times on the current version.

First instance I can recall was on the $50,000 Pyramid.  In one of the tournament episodes there were two men playing each other for one round.  I have the episode in question.

In the '80s $25,000 version, in early '85 they had a blind contestant week and there were two men in one of the games.

In Davidson's version there was one tournament episode where it happened.

It almost happened on Clark's $100,000 version.  Two men qualified for one of the tournaments but they never got to play each other because their female opponent kept winning.

Other than that, I don't think there were any other occasions.  Kind of hard when 80% of your contestants are women!
