* DownerEnding: During Teen Month in July 1985, Jonathan Ward misread the word "petal" in the second part of the BonusRound. He got his civilian partner to say "pedal" when he pantomimed riding a bike. Tom told Jonathan to re-read the word, but he couldn't get the contestant to say "petal" after scoring on the other two words. Tom then explained that the judge wouldn't take "pedal" because it was phonetically dissimilar to "petal".
