FULL RECAP - TPiR 03/23/2009

I really did not know Drew's frames were fake.

[Cartboy]

Money Game:  Pretty good job!
Eazy Az 123:  Since the audience cost Britney the prizes, I think the audience should take up a collection and buy Britney those prizes.
Bonus Game:  Nice job!  Drew could've hosted this a lot better, though.
Pick A Number:  Rats!
Grand Game:  Good job!  I'm glad to see the green $10,000 graphic again!
That's Too Much:  I can name that tune in 2 notes:  forced loss.

Prett ygood show overall, IMHO.

I really did not know Drew's frames were fake.

Well, it's true. Drew's had Lasik surgery on his eyes... but he still decided to have those frames just 'cause he looks pretty damn handsome with them on.
(and... yea... it's kind of his trademark thing)

[katrinka_ohio]

They're not fake.  He needs them for reading close up (like the ARP on the One Bids).  He even said that himself today.

I've seen Bonus Game for the first time in HD, now I know why there is complaining. Reminds me of the 3 Strikes chips with the X's on them. They looked pretty old. I wonder why they don't fix up the board, especially when last season part of the prop also fell down.

Pretty good show today, some nice wins and great contestants. It seems when you look over the set changes, the show really is starting to look more like a Bob type of show. (Minus a few people)

...especially when last season part of the prop also fell down.

When did that happen?  The only thing I can recall that remotely involved part of the prop coming off was when Drew broke one of the sliders' tabs off.  The tabs were replaced with new, larger ones for the next playing.

A few years ago, someone went all the way to the tenth price in That's Too Much and not surprisingly lost.  Also, earlier this year I believe, Drew revealed all of the prices, including the tenth one.

Really? What season did someone go all the way in That's Too Much?

[sideshowPA]

Draw something up that in your mind "simplifies" it.  Remember that this game will be used by the same man who forked up Double Prices.

I could spend all day trying to draw something on a computer (not happening) or I can just list what I mean.

1.  First, smooth out the outside shell of the game.
2.  Next, Change the color scheme from blue and pink to something that doesn't burn my retinas when I watch my TV.
3.  Finally, if Drew insists on putting the prizes back in their homes, then make it so that the asterisks light when a small prize is guessed correctly. 

I suppose I didn't mean "design" here so much as I meant "look".

For you extreme Price Music Buffs, did you notice after the money game win, after the 1st iteration of the theme "A", instead of using iteration "B", it repeated "A" again.... the typical listener wouldnt notice it, but its real evident with the bass line repeating.. </end music buffness>

Really? What season did someone go all the way in That's Too Much?

It happened on March 5, 2003.

[Briguy]

There is a mentality that the price "couldn't" be close to the beginning or at the very end of the line.  It's not really based on anything logical; it's just the way people think when they go into this sort of thing.  Roger knew this and presumably realized that putting the stopping point in those particular spots would be very, very mean, so he never did it.

The way I see it, mean-spirited, cheating or none of the above ... in all probability, the car was not meant to be won today. And it wasn't.

Yes, I must say having it set up for the second price in TtM is a bit sneaky. To be able to gauge your guess, you really need to see at least three prices showing.

[rob79]

Well other than Money Game showing up first yet AGAIN this was a pretty solid lineup, esp. with Bonus Game making its long overdue return.

Speaking of Bonus Game--whoo hoo we got the Bonus Game reveal back!!!!! THANK YOU R. Brian DiPirro, you are the man!

Also, Speaking of Bonus, Drew screwed that up didn't he?  Maybe this happened because the game hadn't been played in so long, I don't know.I will say Drew did host this a lot betterk (other than sliding the correct prizes back into their original slots) this time out than in previous times so that was a big plus Hopefully, this won't happen again next time out.

Pick-a-Number again!!
