Bonkers:  Great win! :-D
Pass The Buck:  Terrible loss! :-(
1 Right Price:  Curses! :-(
Range Game:  Only $4 from the dead center of the range finder - great job! :-D
Cliff Hangers:  Good job! :-)
Money Game:  Nice job! :-)  I thought for sure 99 was going to be the last two numbers in the price of the car.

Good show overall, IMHO. :-)

SteveGavazzi: The copy said you get to take some? or all? of these cars out on a closed course.   I heard that copy, (closed course) apparently you didn't.

No, and the reason I didn't hear it is that there wasn't any.  There was a vague statement about driving cars all day, and then no specifics about it at all.  Hell, your own post shows that they didn't give enough information.

The exact, and vague, wording was "a full-day driving experience on a closed track." (Cue applause)

Opening:  Crap, I thought that was our own SteveEllis.

Bonky:  Wow, first!  First time as the lead in at least 7 years.  This game has certainly produced a lot of exactas this season.  What is this, exacta #4 now?

Bucky:  Woohoo!  The annual playing of Pass the Buck in Slot 2!

One-Bid #3:  $4,000 and $7,000 bids on a dishwasher?!  ???

Money:  Anybody else besides me secretly hoping that the back half of the car was under 99?  That would've made my day.

My showcase bids:
Fast cars--$33,107
Room/ATV--$18,507
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

A taping question:

Was there an edit between the time Drew came on stage and host Drew showed Drew the prize?  Contestant Drew was interacting well, but host Drew just said something like ,"Rich. what can he win?"  Was something edited, or was this just a bad host Drew moment?

Bonkers: EXACTA from a player named Drew!!!! How excellent!!  :-) Oh, Drew....The host.....PRESS THE BUTTON!!!!

Pass: Boy, talk about real bad luck.  :-(

1RP: Oh, Meredith!! That gym is no $2999.

Range: Oh, Great!! Another unknown rock band cameo.  :roll: Good win.

Cliff: Very nice.

Money: Christina and I had it all together. Excellent.  :-)

Showcases: A Race Car Experience?!?! Well, at least the Pontiac fitted in well as the big prize. I thought it would be expensive as $45K, but not that high as Tiara's bid.

A 3.25-star show.

Bonkers being first was great, great start to the show.  An older lady I know went on the show in 2003 and played Bonkers. I am not sure, but that may have been first on that show.
Will Plinko ever be won???

As has already been stated, this was the first time Bonkers has been the first game since its second playing back in 2001.
