Thanks for uploading this! I've been looking for it for a long time. One of the most memorable moments EVER from that time.

[@StLawrencePlace]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JPoww]

My petty self would have excitedly shouted "The thrill of victory" and side-eye to my ledt as I say "agony of defeat.' 😝

Betcha Terri still kicks herself almost *40 years later...*

14:04 As the Twitch streamers say: "Holy SHIT she fucking THREW"
(or maybe "skill issue" or "CAPITAL D COLON" or "kekW")
but more likely, there were a lot of broken TVs that night when it first aired

This Doesn't Look Good

Happy Birthday, Pat Sajak! One of the greatest legendary game show hosts with a great sense of humor and made me a Wheel watcher for a long time.

[@wecantfightgravity]

Pat looks a bit drunk like Edd Byrnes in this episode.

My bad if im mis-spelling names

If terri sucks this epically, she can ask vanna for Heidi Feliss's #. She can quickly make the money another way

[@andyk6796]

Isn't it ironic... don't you think? 😆 How did she not know that puzzle??

[@StLawrencePlace]

With $62,400 sitting in front of your face and your mind going blank that just agony itself!

[@michaelewing4515]

​@@StLawrencePlaceMaybe Terry hasn't watched Wide World of Sports

[@biruss]

She lost her mind.

[@bluebear1985]

I'll bet people are wondering what was happening in the control room as Terry was building up her total in the third round, and how they reacted when she guessed that letter wrong. If Merv was there that day, I'll bet he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

[@mikeimpressionsreviews9831]

Trying to find a particular episode in 1986 can’t find any info on the internet

[@trevorpanno516]

Terri can certainly make up a lot of ground @ 15:51.

[@lukekinney4435]

Cool Do it Again

[@trevorpanno516]

In a way, they did top round 3.
