Whammy/YMMV

Subjective Tropes for the Game Show Whammy!

Internet Backdraft: Woe betide the fool who claims the redesigned Whammy to be superior to the original Whammy of Press, no matter HOW impressively 3-D it may look compared to the original. Just sayin'.
Just Here For The Whammies: The reason why some people watch.
Moment of Awesome:
- James Larson, who appeared on the "Larson reunion" special and wiped the floor with the same opponents his brother Michael famously beat nearly 20 years earlier.
- The one contestant who managed to win the car prior to the Tournament Of Champions, although by that point the Big Board had several more Top Keys and Bottom Keys.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Most hatred stems from the round board, the presence of Double Whammies (which merely dumped objects onto the contestant in addition to adding a Whammy), and the overemphasis on prizes. There was also the fact that two pilots were made, one with Peter Tomarken and the other with Newton, and that the latter was picked over the former.
What an Idiot!:
- One contestant early in the run thought that losing her third Whammy on her very last spin was better than having a score of $2,000. Had she taken the money, she would have won.
- "What type of vehicles are used in the legendary Tour de France?" A contestant rings in and says "SUVs."
