FULL RECAP - TPiR 06/11/2009

[pricefan1991]

I only saw up to the end of Now... or Then. Pocket Change looked evil (I would have screwed up), I would have agreed with the contestant for Squeeze Play (and lost), and Now or Then would have been won by me.

[JokerFan]

Seeing today's playing of Pocket Change made me think of something regarding 0s and 5s.  If a 0 and a 5 appeared
a) is there a specific number (0 or 5) that must appear last?
b) can one of them be the extra digit?
c) can one of them be in another spot as long as the other is last
d) would he even put a 0 and a 5 as an option?

Help me with these four questions, and please answer using Roger's way of doing things.

[Wayoshi]

Roger was nice enough to make a 0 OR 5 last for the most part, never putting both up at the same time. Kathy has used 5 as the extra digit several times, usually 9 as the last digit.

Impressive win on Eazy as 123.  The contestant went with her gut instincts and it paid off.

[Flerbert419]

Roger was nice enough to make a 0 OR 5 last for the most part, never putting both up at the same time.

This simply isn't true.  On the S36 January 30th playing and the S36 June 6th playing, both the 5 and the 0 were up on the board, and both were in the prices of the two cars ($19,580 and $19,450).

a) is there a specific number (0 or 5) that must appear last?

In every case I could find, the 0 was last when there was a 5 in play.

b) can one of them be the extra digit?

This is a particularly difficult question to answer.  For some reason, the summaries website doesn't keep track of the extra digit, so the only way to answer this would to be by brute recap force.

I don't know what happened today, but for once, Drew did a pretty decent job of hosting. 
 . . .
I'm not gonna say Drew was perfect today.  He wasn't.  But he was competent, and if he ever decides he wants to start doing a good job on a regular basis, this episode would be a good one to build off of.

I agree. I thought today's episode was pretty good, and Drew's performance was better than adequate.

I don't have any arguments with any part of today's "Pathfinder." I got everything but the USB hub price right. The setup for "Pocket ¢hange", on the other hand, was pure evil.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Danielle
SHOW GRADE: 1

[rob79]

But she didn't win..

Pardon moi....we all have brain fizzles at one point in life. Yesterday, I was trying to watch the show and keep a handle on my 1 yr old son who was playing--my attention span was not completely 100% on the show, sooooooooooo cut me a break okay.

Pocket Change: Tough going for Noelle
Squeeze Play: So close there for Nancy Ann
Now or Then: Nice win by Heather!
Eazy as 123: Nice victory here by Danielle
Flip Flop: Good try by Ramon
Pathfinder: Tough luck here for Robert

[thewhammy_2000]

Pocket ¢hange: Having a 0 in the middle of the price is terrible! It just got harder, realizing there was no 5 in the whole price.

Squeeze Play: I didn't have to see it to pick out the right number. Once again, no 5.

now... or then: Methinks honey is expensive now. So "Then." Heather's "then" is how I would do them.

Eazy az 123: Not really. To me, it was a sure tossup between the shoes and the w/d.

Flip Flop: Shoot! I knew a Flop was needed....

One Bid 6: Oh, Robert blew it. I wanted him to say 1652 on the fifth One-Bid. Look where it got him...

Pathfinder: Yet another trapping play for the contestant and I.

I was held up on a trade, family stuff, financial stuff, and other crazy things. I know i'm really late so i have some catching up to do now.

Pocket: A 0 in the middle digit??!! EVIL!! Just Evil!!! 

Squeeze: Too bad.

NowThen: Very nice.

Easy: Those g&*damn Jimmy Choo shoes didn't get the best of Danielle there. Nice. 

FlipFlop: I thought he had it, too.

Pathfinder: Always excellent to see in the 6th slot!!  Too bad.

A 2.50-star show.
