Opening: I don’t mind if Drew brings his son out. John O’Hurley brings his son out occasionally on Family Feud.

Switcheroo: I’m surprised they showed the game before they showed all the small prizes. It was nice to see someone get the car in this game.

Calldown #2: Oh, that blasted purse!

Safe Crackers: sometimes I wish that they would go back to the cue that they had between the Pink Panther theme, and the current cue. That was an awesome cue. That was a tough loss.

Flip Flop: Nice Win.

One Wrong Price: She should have gone with her first instinct.

One-Bid #5: Cameron bid just a little high.

Pass the Buck: At least we didn’t have another wipeout like last time.

Pick-a-Number: Props to Mandel for inventing ½ off. He played the piano beautifully.

Showcases: Nice trips in the showcases.

O.K. show today. It was nice to see Swithcheroo actually won today, as well as Mandel’s superb playing of the piano.

I am absolutely gobsmacked that Double Prices hasn't been seen on TV in two and a half weeks.

We are not that far removed from a 5 or 6 week gap I believe last spring

Note to Adam Sandler:  The inventor of Half Off is doing a cameo on the show.  I don't know, could we have seen uh...Half Off today?!?!  Nice cameo from Mandel.  He's a game show guy.  A contestant on MG98, worked on Greed, and did some work for Fremantle.  I also know him from back in the day when he would post on alt.music.weird-al (his parents made him learn the accordion).  Anyway, just thought I would bring that up.  Not only does he share one of my obsessions, but both.

Nope.  Season 35.  In fact, Double Prices was played every single week last season.

Yesterday show was great it was nice seeing Drew Son on the show & Drew did a great job yesterday on The Price Is Right i give him a A +.
A Big Rich Fields Drew Carey And Jeff Davis Fan For Ever From Kirsten

Rich Fields Thanks Kirsten. I pick out and supply all of my own clothing. That light gray suit is hard to pair with shirts and ties... but I think the lavender shirt and purple patterned tie pulled it all together.

My Favorite Announcers On The Price Is Right Are Johnny Olson Rod Roddy Rich Fields Jeff Davis.

I Met And Took Two Pictures With Jeff Davis On May 24, 2012 He Is So Nice And Kind In Person.

Rich Fields said this about Drew Carey will always be the first to defend Drew (Carey). He's one of the most genuine, down to earth people in Hollywood that I've ever met. He was the first to come to me and tell me that the show was going in a different direction. He assured me it was not his decision to let me go and I believe him. No one else was open and honest about it, but Drew was. We've continued working together on different projects and we stay in regular touch. We'll be good friends well into the future.

You must have seen a different episode than I did.  I thought Drew came off as not giving two ****s for much of the show yesterday.  He certainly wasn't as bad as he was from October through February, but calling it an A+ performance is totally absurd.

The lineup may not have been the best in the world but the Switcheroo win more than made up for it myself. Oh yeah, two straight weeks without Double Prices isn't a bad thing--that game deserves a break every once in a while. I was surprised Flip Flop showed up, Coming or Going is wayyyyy overdue.

I'm glad DiPirro shows games coming around but I wish he had not messed with 'Roo's reveal. :cry: They could have shown the SP's and then shown 'Roo coming around.

Other than the 'Roo win this show wasn't that good, overall this week wasn't that good. Hopefully next week will be better.

Switcheroo: Seeing the game reveal before the SP descriptions were very strange and I hope it's just a one-time thing. Good comeback after a dismal start. Excellent.  :-)

Safe: I actually went with 670.  :oops: Too bad.

FlipFlop: Very nice.

OWP: I actually went with the Refridgerator and thouhgt it was a lkittle less, too.  :-o Too bad.

Pass: 6 and 1 were definetly my choices, but player went the wrong way and costed her.

P-a-N: The man behind "1/2 Off" gave us such an amzing performance of "Splendido" (as well as the theme) . This is most arguably the greatest guest performance ever!!! Way to go, Mandal!!!  :-)

Showcases: Once again, Neither was anything special.

A 2.25-star show.

Roo:  Yay!  Switcheroo! :P It was unusual to see the Roo board spin around before the SP descriptions.  I thought Kristen had all of the prizes correct on the second try.  It would've been a great moment had she pulled off that miracle 0 to 5, but she got the truck either way.

One-Bid #3:  Good thing those weren't Bobby Brown cosmetics.  Those would make you look like you just got the _____ slapped out of you. *rimshot* I can't believe that another $420 bid won.

PA#:  Yay!  Mandel Ilagan!  I didn't know before this past week that he plays piano... but wow!  He's fantastic!  Best renditions of Splendido and the TPIR theme to date.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mandel was playing Splendido! on the piano as Rich was describing it.  It was great that Drew acknowledged he invented ½ Off on the air.  I believe that's the first time since Bob announced Bart created Stack the Deck during a showcase showdown in Season 35.

Didn't Drew acknowledge earlier this season that Kathy invented Secret X?

My showcase bids:
Room/boat--$27,507
All-trip SC--$17,507

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".

Just a couple things to say about this episode:

Drew's Entrance:  That was nice that Drew brought his son out with him.
Switcheroo:  Great win! :-D  I like all the prizes being revealed before the game board better.
Pass The Buck:  Heartbreaking! :cry:
Pick A Number:  That double 0 at the end was cruel!  They should've played 1/2 Off since the man that invented it was there.  I liked his piano playing.

An okay show overall, IMHO.
