1/2 Off: The SP part was pretty rough for me. After some thought, I figured that making the choice between the teapot and the frog themos in required a little extra thinking sprinkled with some common sense. The thermos doesn't look $40, but no way would that teapot cost $98.
And I was half expecting the loot to be in box #14. Roger seems to like hiding it in there. Hi, Roger! Ooops, Bonkers is 5th today.
When Rich began describing the salad shooter, the audio went out, and didn't return until halfway thru Any Number. Thank goodness for Closed Captioning.
Any Number: Oink, Oink!
Switch?: I would've switched, and lost. Distance trumped border crossing here.
Showcase Showdown #1: I get worried about somebody touching or grabbing the Big Wheel while it's spinning, especially when there's a hyper contestant standing right by it. And here it sorta happens, twice.
Let 'em Roll: I thought the Theragesic was going to be higher than #3.99. That's what I get for not paying attention in the store.
Bonkers: Nolan was poerfect for the game with all the energy he had. I think he was just about to make it LHHH when time ran out and he put it back to HLHH. This is one game where you have to tune out the peanut gallery and just run, place, place, place, place, run, press, wash, rinse, repeat. Race Game is another. As it is, consulting the crowd cost Nolan the 2-3 extra seconds he would've needed to win, not to mention it annoyed me.
IUFB#6: Can this be considered outdumbing your fellow contestant? Sorta?
Showcases: I had $20,000 on Spencer's showcase, and $29,000 on Rochelle's "Pinball?" showcase. She grated on me with that, BTW. And the FRT is back, and got me lowballing badly, as usual.
Average show, with a few fun moments tossed in as always.
