Blockbusters 81 Season 1 Episode 31 Blockbusters - 1981 - Episode 130

Blockbusters 81 was a popular game show that aired from 1980 to 1982 and was hosted by Bill Cullen. The show featured two contestants, one solo player and one team of two, who competed to navigate a game board composed of hexagons. Each hexagon contained a letter; players would take turns choosing a hexagon and answering a question whose answer began with that letter. The ultimate goal was to create a path of connected hexagons across the board, representing one of three paths: one for the solo player, and two for the team players.

Episode 130 of Blockbusters 81 season 1 was a typical episode of the show, with the solo player, Nancy, facing off against the team of Diane and Laurie. As always, the game began with Bill introducing the contestants and explaining the rules. After that, the players took their positions and the competition began.

The first few rounds of the game were fairly balanced, with each team getting a chance to answer questions and earning some hexagons. However, as the game progressed, the team of Diane and Laurie began to pull ahead. Their teamwork and communication skills proved to be an advantage, and they quickly put together a path across the board.

Nancy, the solo player, found herself struggling to keep up. Although she answered several questions correctly, she was unable to create a path of connected hexagons. As the game approached its climax, Diane and Laurie only needed one more hexagon to win.

With the pressure on, Nancy managed to answer a question and take a hexagon, temporarily staving off defeat. However, it was merely a delay; on the very next turn, Diane and Laurie correctly answered a question and took the final hexagon they needed to win the game.

Despite the loss, Nancy was a good sport and congratulated her opponents. The team of Diane and Laurie would go on to compete in the "Gold Run," a final round where they had to answer a series of questions to win money. Although the outcome of that round is beyond the scope of this description, it's safe to say that Blockbusters 81 season 1 episode 130 was an exciting and competitive half-hour of television.
