It started as a thought about how to show people experiencing sex on broadcast TV. -- deirdre Show by deirdre, 11/20/94 "And Now... It's time for Spin to Win..." "Hello, and welcome to Spin to Win, the game where your fate hangs on the spin of the wheel. Let's start by welcoming our first guest, Jeannie Hampton... So Jeannie, where are you from." "Providence, Rhode Island." "And do you have family there watching?" "Well, not my husband, of course, but my sister and her husband said they wouldn't miss it." "Well, *Hello* to your sister and her husband. Let's see that outfit you are wearing. Oh, it's a sweater and I like that plaid skirt. Now I know you know how the game is played: it's time to get in the booth. And for you folks at home, I'll explain the game while Jeannie gets herself situated. Jeannie, like all our contestants, starts with $500 and spins the wheel. The wheel has ten spots: nine that double her money and one marked 'Bankrupt'. If she doubles her money on any spin, then she can choose to spin again. But if she ever hits 'Bankrupt', then the game ends and she walks away with *no* money at all. Also, as you see the booth is constructed to strategically hide Jeannie's body from the waist down and it has a fitting that sits snugly around her waist completing the concealment. Now as you see, her back is to a wall, behind which her husband is located. Now if she spins 'Bankrupt', then her husband, who retains strategic access to his wife in a manner not apparent to us, immediately *pushes it into the alternate location*, as it were. Jeannie's had time in her dressing room to prepare herself as much as possible for that potentiality, though as with all our contestants, both she and her husband took an oath that if this happens, it will be her very first time. And to make that eventuality perhaps more palatable for Jeannie, attached to her is a device that vibrates slightly when he is slightly inside and ranges up to full vibration when he is as far as he can go. So Jeannie, are you ready?" "Yes." "Nervous?" "Of course!" "OK, let's start with your first spin... OK, you have a $1,000 now. Do you want to spin again?" "Yes." "Ah, up to $2,000. Again?" "Yes." "Oh, that was close! $4,000 now. Again? For $4,000 more?... I need your answer. Remember there are nine chances that you will get $4,000 more and just one chance that you will go 'Bankrupt'." "OK, one more time." "Oh my, I'm so sorry... You're not saying anything, Jeannie. Look everyone: Jeannie is just standing there with her mouth open, looking nowhere in particular. Well, we'll be back with our next contestant after this commercial break... "And now here is our next contestant, Sheila Smith. So Sheila, where are you from?" "Dallas, Texas." "And you know how to play our game?" "I sure do!" "Ah, Sheila is ready! Well, go ahead and get in the booth. Now Sheila, do you think you would stand there with your mouth open like Jeannie did? Or do you think you'd be saying something?" "Oh, I'd be saying something all right! But that's not going to happen!" "Oh ho! Do you have a strategy? How many times to you plan on spinning the wheel?" "Five times." "That's a pretty sound strategy: the odds are slightly with you to walk away with $16,000. OK, if you're all situated, let's start with your first spin... So far so good: you have $1,000. Still want to spin again?" "Yes." "$2,000. Again?" "Absolutely." "$4,000. Still want to risk it again?" "Yes." "Now you can stop and walk away wit $8,000! Are you still sure you want to risk one more spin?" "Uh, yes." "$16,000! You've achieved your goal! But before you go, I'm obligated to point out that the rules allow you to continue. On your next try, you'd have nine chances out of ten of increasing that to $32,000!" "Oh no! I'm definitely done." "The audience seems to want you to go on. As I said, the odds are *very* good that you would win one more time." "Uh, OK, I guess I'll do just one more." "Oh, I'm so sorry Sheila..." "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod..." "Sheila seems distracted so we'll take our break now. Stay tuned--later we'll be having our big showdown." "Our next contestant is Kathy Green from San Diego, California. Do you have family at home watching?" "Yes, my Mom and my sister." "Well, let's hope they see you display some luck. Let's see how you are dressed--oh, that's a pretty blue dress. OK, up in the booth. How many times do *you* plan on spinning it?" "Three." "Ah, Kathy's a conservative girl. Are you all set in there?" "Yes." "OK, then make your first spin... "OK, you've got your $1,000 with no problems. Ready to spin again?" "Yes." "$2,000! Still want to spin that third spin?" "Yes." "$4,000, and you made it. Oops, you know what that buzzer means! I give it one more spin... Oh, I'm sorry Kathy, looks like you were just unlucky enough to be playing when the buzzer went off." "Oooooooooo!" "Looks like Kathy isn't ready to talk now, so we'll take our station break... OK, welcome back to Spin to Win, the game show that gets to the *bottom of things*. Now we're ready for our final showdown. As you see, we have three contestants in booths and the rules are just a little different! All three contestants start out with $5000 and they take turns spinning until only one is left. And just to make it interesting, after each spin one more doubling spot is replaced by a 'Bankruptcy' spot! Now, let's meet our contestants. Tracy Hartman, you come from Denver, Colorado?" "Yes, Pat." "Got any plans for the money?" "Oh, some travel with my husband." "And next we have Lisa Tate from Portland, Oregon. What made *you* decide to come on the show, Lisa?" "We could use the money." "And did your husband have any other reason?" "Well, I suppose he'll console himself if I lose." "Well perhaps he will. And last, we have Mary Forrest from San Jose, California. And Mary has an interesting story to tell: your husband got called away on an emergency, didn't he?" "Yes." "So what did you do?" "I got my sister to take his place." "Oh ho! Of course, we were able to outfit her in such manner that she could carry out the prescribed duties. Is she your *older* sister? Or your *younger*?" "Well, I guess you could say she is my younger sister. Actually we're twins." "Now *that* is interesting. What did she have to say about all this?" "Oh, she says this is something that I've been *needing*." "Well now! OK, let's get started here. Tracy, you start... OK, Tracy, you've got your $10,000! Now let's add a 'Bankrupt' space to the wheel and it's your turn Lisa... "Lisa survived her first spin too. Now Mary?... Everyone made it to $10,000, so Tracy, you spin again, this time with 4 'Bankrupt' spaces! "Oh, I'm so sorry Tracy. Tracy, you're not answering. Well, let's go on to Lisa. Lisa, you have an even chance." "Oh, Lisa didn't make it either, so Mary, that leaves just you! As you know, the rules say you must spin one more time. Oh, look at Lisa: her eyes have rolled up behind her eyelids. And Tracy is just standing there with her eyes closed. So, you ready for your last spin, Mary?" "Uh, yes." "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mary--that's what often happens when we reach six bankrupt spots on the wheel. Well folks, don't go away, we'll be right back after this... Well, Vanna, that about wraps up another one. Our audience at home missed Mary's scream during the commercial once things started going for her. Well, everybody, remember that next week is our 'Revenge Match' where three of our year's charming losers are chosen at random to come try again. However, this time while the ladies spin the wheel, their husbands occupy the booths, each lady having chosen a member of the fabulous Chippendale Dancers(tm) to Stand Behind Their Man as it were. And then the following week, we'll have our annual Celebrity Showdown, this time with Kathie Lee Gifford, Mary Hart, and Daisy Fuentes. So Vanna, you always wanted to see what it's like to stand in that booth?" "Just the standing part, Pat." "OK, I think you're in there correctly. Say bye to everybody." "Bye Buh-oof..." "Ah, we didn't tell Vanna that we'd snuck her husband onto the set this evening..."
