Whew!/Episode Guide/1980 (Celebrity Whew!)

Week #29[]

Celebrity Whew! begins. Rod changes his opening spiel to "Two great stars and their contestant partners are going to have..." as well adding "a chance at..." at the very end. There are stars on the backdrop. There are no microphones on the podiums, but this would turn out to be temporary. Celebrities and their partners take turns charging during the questions in each round, as well as placing three blocks each, and for the Gauntlet, they decide which ones to answer for both halves. After the Gauntlet, the returning champion changes celebrity partners.
