Stay Tuned

The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, May 29, 2020 20 By Rachel Jones TV Media Back from the past: The be- loved 1980s game show "Press Your Luck" is back. ABC and Fremantle are moving for- ward with a second season af- ter the first, hosted by Eliza- beth Banks ("The Hunger Games," 2012), was received by viewers with great enthusi- asm. Banks is back with three new contestants to start the second season of the hit game show, premiering Sunday, May 31, on ABC. The game begins as the con- testants answer four trivia questions. The contestant who is quickest to buzz in earns three spins of the wheel, but only if their answer is correct. The remaining two contestants must choose whether the first contestant's answer is correct or if they want to go with one of the two additional answers provided by Banks. Those who didn't buzz in first can earn one spin of the wheel by selecting the correct answer. After the first round of trivia questions, the hopeful players get to move to the Big Board and spin for a chance to earn cash or prizes. As the contes- tants amass various rewards, the prize value is added to their score. But they'd better not hit a Whammy, or they might lose everything. After two rounds, the contestant with the highest score goes to the bonus game, and they'd better watch out. If they get four Whammies, the game is over. But, if their pot reaches $500,000, they receive extra cash to make up a $1-million prize. This exciting new season is adding two elements, both of which hearken to the original game from the '80s. Starting in the first round, an "Add-A- One" square provides contes- tants with the chance to add the number 1 to the front of their score, which means even if a contestant has $0, they could come out ahead with $10. Another addition is the "Double Your Money" square, which can double the money in a contestant's bank. Don't miss the exciting new features when Season 2 of "Press Your Luck" premieres Sunday, May 31, on ABC. realtalk Elizabeth Banks hosts "Press Your Luck" A/SFCU 6x10 B/Wells Fargo Advisors 6x2.5 B/ The Pine Shop 6x7.5
