Elena Whitley, WG Enloe High School in Raleigh, NC. My twin sister was one of her friends. It was so cool to have a student from our school in the tournament.
@@terrimorrison2857 My sister’s friend once dated a guy who was a contestant on the show a long time ago. He used to have a website where he talked about his experience with being a contestant on the show. His episode aired in April of 2009 where the Tudors was a category. There’s a clip of it here online.
The Teen Tournament was Alex’s favorite tournament, and I’d probably have to say it was mine too for allowing younger contestants. At the same time this aired was when the 1989 version of Super Sloppy Double Dare first aired in syndication.
Semifinalists: Wild Cards: Eric Newhouse: $12,399 Matt Lindley: $9,400 ($5,400) Peter Morris: $10,000 Matt Pearson: $8,600 Dan Chase: $9,400 ($8,200) Stan Wu: $8,000 Kristen Brimus: $9,000 Elena Whitley: $5,000 Ryan Godfrey: $4,200 ========================== Laura Spear: $3,799 David Dodson: $3,000 ($7,200) Marny Helfrich: $3,000 ($1,500) Greg Parde: $2,800 Samantha Moeschler: $2,200 Tracy Fisher: $100
I was kindergarten watching this on WBNG Ch 12 Binghamton at 7:30 right after Wheel of Fortune living in Deposit. We also had them on WYOU Ch 22 Scranton on cable and Ch 22 was ahead of Ch 12 by 5 seconds.
Stan Wu won $20,700. $15,700 for finishing 2nd to Eric Newhouse in the 1989 Teen Tournament, and $5,000 for taking part in the 1998 Teen Reunion Tournament.
@@theweysermanisback5205 that is why I said he already had better luck on Jeopardy! prior to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? when becoming their twelfth $0 winner on the US version between the Primetime and Syndicated versions combined. Regular play Millionaire was Primetime first before going to Syndication. During both versions contestants were often advised "take your time." By both Regis Philbin and Meredith Vieira.
@@theweysermanisback5205 like when Chris Goldschmidt said "A, Garden, Final answer.", Eric Mason "Genuflecting requires a little bit of movement so I would say that would be B, Dancing, Final answer.", Jennifer Starks "Washing Clothes, A, Final.", even Walter Pasuco saying "A, Vernal Equinox, Final answer." They were fast and it BACKFIRED.
Good call that The Nutcracker Suite is not the same thing as the ballet. At 24:50, it is apparent that they got a Canadian to announce upcoming programming, by the way he pronounces "against".
Even though they’ve gone back to being strict with responses, this season. 3:26 …..Her answer would have been totally acceptable in today’s tournament lol
The commercials are the best part of tbis. So good to look back.
Yeah - I did cut them for another video, but I thought for this one it’d be nice to leave them in.

22:14 Steve Jobes? 😂
I usually don't point out little mistakes, but Alex made so few, I gotta do it!
I pronounced it that way too- my kids made fun of me! 😂 I guess I’m thinking of the Book of Job in the Bible.
They had a Biblical category, so maybe he was trying to remain consistent.
The Teen Tournament was Alex’s favorite tournament, and I’d probably have to say it was mine too for allowing younger contestants. At the same time this aired was when the 1989 version of Super Sloppy Double Dare first aired in syndication.
Some of Alex’s other favorites include Cleveland for the contestant searches and films like “How Green Was My Valley.”
I was a junior in high school when this aired.
Nice, a B-C syndicated broadcast, from CKVU-TV 13 in Vancouver
The Canadian station on the west coast that broadcasts it these days is CHEK-TV in Victoria, BC.
Back in 1989, teens looked like they are 28
Thanks for posting. Sony usually takes it's time removing posts out of Canada.
Government for $500: Alex missed the chance to make a joke about the double jeopardy round of our favorite program but no matter…
29:09 I can't wait for my two dads to come on the TV 🥵
R.I.P. Alex Trebek, & Merv Griffin!!!!?

Teenage girls in 1989 look the way 32-year-old women look now.

19:43 why’d he say answer there was no daily double
Eric Newhouse won that year, but he doesn't appear until game 4 of the quarterfinals
For this Final Jeopardy Clue, I would have guessed 1 of the following 3.
1: Japan
2: Russia
3: China
My guess was Switzerland lol
Alex specifically said “… in the free world”. That excludes Russia/USSR and China.
Out of town call collect !!!!! I’m dying!!!!!!!!!!!
Elena Whitley advanced to The Finals, where she finished 3rd. Stan Wu came in 2nd, and "Powerhouse" Eric Newhouse won the tournament with $28,100.
One of whom was a $0 winner on Millionaire. Thankfully he had better luck on this show beforehand.
Stan Wu won $20,700. $15,700 for finishing 2nd to Eric Newhouse in the 1989 Teen Tournament, and $5,000 for taking part in the 1998 Teen Reunion Tournament.

Some contestants took their time and it worked out for them. Some contestants didn't take their time, and it's either gonna backfire them or not.

This recording was indeed from a Canadian broadcast. Just look at the adverts in between
Now the category blinks for every clue
Poor Greg 😢
14:00 Kimmy Robertson!
Steve ... Jobes?
11:42 I thought your going for what is scream
Wait. 12.99 for a pizza hut pizza in 1989?
Even though they’ve gone back to being strict with responses, this season. 3:26 …..Her answer would have been totally acceptable in today’s tournament lol
I honestly did not hear Greg add the word suite in that ballet category.
He said it at the same time Alex said "right!".
That was why I didn’t hear it.
They get so technical, then why allow "yell" for Pee Wee? Pee Wee told them to scream.
Greg should have written down "F U alex" With his wager being "Your Mother"
Was that Roseanne Barr in that Value Village commercial?
I believe so, yes
That is definitely _not_ Rosanne Barr.
19:00: Who nailed this one?
Wasn’t real hard
