It was quite annoying that Drew spent more time talking with Abigail, who didn't even win the second One Bid, than Kristen, who did win the second One Bid, after Kristen won the second One Bid.
Bonkers! was absolutely evil. I can't see how anybody was going to win it.
I sure do miss the old e-ticket plug.
I wish they'd stop putting Campbell's soup in Grand Game so Drew would stop with his ridiculous bit about the cost of it every friggin' time it's picked in the game.
I was quite pleased that Drew didn't say "welcome back to The Price Is Right" returning to the last segment and mentioned absolutely nothing about Abigail overbidding on the last One Bid by one dollar. It's these kinds of unnecessary things that simply slow the show down. It's nice when things move along more quickly in this sense.
I don't care if the "solution" to the personalised first Showcases are to include both contestants. They shouldn't be personalising the Showcases period. If the Showcase becomes a dialogue between Rich and the contestants in the Showcase, then that puts me, the viewer, as an eavesdropper and not actively included. If it's done as a narrative, as it should be, then it's all-inclusive and I have every reason to watch as much as the contestants.
Also, it really kills the flow of a Showcase when you build to a climatic conclusion at the end of the final prize's description to go over some asinine recap of the prizes that were seen only moments ago. They really need to stop doing this. Drew also needs to stop bringing up the prizes before the Showcase prices are revealed. It's purely redundant.
(a week's salary says somebody will tell me Bob's interviews with other people do not compare to [Drew's with Lou Ferrigno] for some absolutely, bent-over-backwards, ridiculous reason)
Well, I'll say this: Bob's brief chats with the occasional walk-on star visiting usually had some kind of point to them. I really didn't see any point for this, especially when what little bit Drew said that seemed to tie his presence together was cut so short.
