Cathy vs. Lori

Hands down, in my book, the 2nd best episode of Press Your Luck is the famous spin battle between Cathy and Lori that re-ran on GSN yesterday. So much about that 5 minute back and forth is legendary. You had two great emotional contestants totally into the game. Cathy looked like she was about to have a heart attack every time she spun, having long before traded in the traditional "STOP!" with an exasperated "NOW!" each time she ended a turn.

The climax with Cathy Whammying elicited an exasperated moan from the audience and Peter--it was truly a great game. It's a shame they totally had to chop the episode to bits to get it to fit for time, including a super-rushed closing and a re-shot opening that omitted the contestant interviews (check the sly look on Cathy's face during the opening--you can tell she's still simmering). A great episode of a great game.
