We have an historic moment on today's show (or today's first show if you're in a double-run market):
Spoiler
The "champion" had -$250; therefore, he won no money. He failed to finish the puzzle, so for the first time ever, all five contestants went home empty-handed.

Oh my!

But the runners-up still get those watches, don't they? So they might have ended up winning more the the champion!

I saw a finish like this a month ago or so, so maybe this is the repeat.

This show is not only boring and confusing to watch but cheap as well. :roll:

I'm sorry you go home with nothing but your pride. But you do go home a Crosswords champion. When I saw this thread subject earlier and a new post on the Crosswords thread on the J! board I was looking for a recognizable game show face.

Instead the posts were unrelated and here only about the unusual outcome.

Four letters - Second person mentioned in the Bible

One contestant guessed Adam and another guessed Noah. Nope x 2.

Tough one!
