FULL RECAP - TPiR 05/28/2009

[SpunkyMunky]

Awesome show today! Great line-up - and the skunk was nowhere around this time.

"The Cats" music is cool. The ending that is played reminds me of Mario Kart music.

I like Clock Game played as it was today - without the four-digit prices, but with added bonuses.

I always look forward to a playing of Eazy az 1-2-3 with that tune that is played. Rebecca didn't do so well, however. I think she looks like she could be Amber's sister.

Perfect playing of Pocket Change, one of my favorite games. I was glad to see Christine win the car.

MY FAVORITE GAME OF THE DAY:
Pocket Change

MY FAVORITE CONTESTANT:
Christine

PING-PONG, ANYONE?
Drew: "Nobody can beat our Price is Right models in a game of Ping-Pong...NOBODY!"

Great show today! Possibly the best show of the season so far.

Michael was the biggest winner of this show... a kiss from Amber is as good as it gets.

That perfect Pocket Change win was unbelievable. It's a shame that it couldn't have been part of a perfect show.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Violet
SHOW GRADE: 2

This episode should be a model to watch by Drew and the staff as a reminder of what a great episode is and why it works!  We know they have potential to do well.  What is sad is that the quality of episodes and Drew's hosting still fluctuates too much after two years on the job.  Some days are great (like this episode) and other days are just painful to watch.

It seems we fans aren't getting the type of consistency and uniformity that is needed on a show like Price.

I do like the new IUFB cards, because it shows the staff's attention to small details and the varied decorations I found to be a nice touch.

I actually like the new one bid price holders.  It's a very nice-looking souvenier for whoever picks them up.  Oh, and I also like how they're all different.

Clock Game-These past 2 playings prove that bidding on 4 digit prizes didn't work.  Although the presentation wasn't as clear as the last time they did it.  They should've made it clearer that the barbeque wasn't part of the bidding.

Eazy az 1 2 3-I don't blame Rebecca for losing.  Definitely set up for a loss.  I would've done the same thing.

Pocket Change-What a fantastic playing!  I'm glad Christine won it; she totally deserved it.  Great to see an EXACTA!

Showcases-Those were some EXCELLENT bids!  Only $55 away from a DSW, too!

Great show!  Although I wish there would be a little more consistency from day to day.  We seem to go from major suckage to major awesomeness almost in an almost daily repeating cycle.

Don't you think that since they are fancy now, and the staff likely does not want to lose them or make more of them, they would ask for them back from audience members or tell Drew before a show to throw them near the producers' box so they can be retrieved?

Did Drew's glasses frame always have that red tint to it before this show?

[Martin]

I never post on this side of the board, but this was a great episode, Drew did a great job on this one.  For the first time in a long time, I didn't get angry about bad reveals, awkward moments, or stupid contestants.  Drew for the first time that I can remember, acted like a game show host.  By building up the story in Pocket Change, it made me care about the game.  He put the contestant first, which any good game show host will tell you is something that should be done when the opportunity is there.  We can only prey that more eps like this are in our future.
