I have only a few things to say.

1. Timmy is the most obnoxious contestant I've seen in a while, and I was rooting against him the entire show. I felt satisfied watching him lose Cover Up, but wanted to shoot my TV when he got $1.00 and even more so when he won his SC. Has someone been messing with your drinks before the interviews, Stan?
2. SC2=

If Timothy isn't the most annoying contestant of the year, he must be in the top 3.

[pricefan1991]

Agreed.

At least it wasn't a skunking today, unlike yesterday.

[katrinka_ohio]

Timothy ("The Champ") sure seemed to have a hard time understanding the concept of how to place the cards in "Cover Up".

[Kirsten Vaccaro]

Today show was good Drew did a great job as host.

Timothy was the most annoying contestant ever.

I give today show a B.

[thewhammy_2000]

Switch?: Maybe it's my regularity of watching the show on a daily basis that made me want to leave the prices alone.

Stack the Deck: As soon as the 7 was picked, I walked out, knowing the price would be wrong.

Most Expensive: Between flatwear, a watch and a pool table: I defintely chose the pool table without hesitation.

Balance Game: I let out a little expletive because I felt I kinda made her switch her original choice.

Cliff Hangers: Kinda well played in my opinion, thanks to her husband.

Cover Up: Now we get to see this guy play this game... Ugh

Showcases: Now he bids 9999 on the first Showcase and wins and spins the belt around... Ugh.

Timothy: How in the "heck" did he get past all of the security and whatnot with that ridiculous belt on? What did Stan see in him? He would pick him over LFaTs? I wonder how Bob would react towards him (I am not saying that Bob should return; it's just that Bob can easily recognize an LFaT when he sees one.). I usually do not do this, but some of the contestants in today's episode makes me want to start rooting against them in some of their games. I don't want to do that, but if this keeps on, I may do that on a regular basis.

Hey Stack the Deck showed up!!! Seems like it's been a while since we've seen Stacky.

I was sort of disappointed to see Cliffy again, I hope we get another playing of Bonus Game before the season ends.

Timothy was just flat out annoying. He's one of those contestant's that I honestly wanted to see fail. I didn't mind him losing Cover Up, but it drove me bonkers to see him win the showcase. I hate it when showoffs are rewarded.

[Drewfan2008]

Timothy was a Horrible contestant. Did anyone see when he came down, he gave the "DX Suck it" sign to the whole audience? And his "Macho Man" impersonation sucked.

[Mallory16]

Well, someone's bound to slip by Stan occasionally.  It was looking pretty good that he'd be stuck in contestants' row the whole show, but no, he had to escape.  And win the showcase showdown.  And win the showcase.  Didn't really make for a very feel good show.

It's not often you see Cliff Hangers so well played with Hans all the way up to 22.

[Wayoshi]

Tim was unenjoyable overall. :/

-Lineup: Moderate.
-Switch?: There we go. 9/10
-Stacky: The F-150 is a trick car??? 7/10
-ME: Tough-ish. Watch didn't look overly nice though. 8/10
-SD1: 4/5
-Balance: Peanut.....Gallery................must. ...........die!!! 7/10
-Cliffy: Good, a bit of an odd setup contracting. 9/10
-Cover: Damn crapshoot. Tim made this awkward. 8/10
-SD2: Finally el dollar! 5/5
-SC1: 4/5
-SC2: Finally, no trip! My goodness. 4.5/5
-Results: Booooooo for Tim winning. And what a garffest. 7.5/10
-Drew: WTF was up with Stacky on waiting for all the picks and in SD1 on the spinoff? 8/10

PGs: 48/60
SDs: 9/10
SCs: 16/20
Drew: 8/10

81 --> B-

[compdude512]

I usually don't blast a show, but this one deserves it.

First off, I loved all the classic cues used today. 

Secondly, I absolutely HATED Timothy.  Downright, truly, seriously hated the guy.

Timothy was, by far, the most rude, insolent, annoying, and moronic contestant I have ever seen on The Price is Right in the past 15 years I've knowingly watched the show.  He was an idiot.  His comments after each One-Bid were downright unnecessary, he failed to act his color (geez, people - if you're White, is it really that hard to act White?), and I felt his stupidity made a mockery of the show.  If he would have bid $420 on everything, I may have really Shot the TV.  What the hell was Stan thinking?

If contestants like Timothy are chosen to be on the show, there is hope for just about anyone.

I wonder how Bob would react towards him (I am not saying that Bob should return; it's just that Bob can easily recognize an LFaT when he sees one.). I usually do not do this, but some of the contestants in today's episode makes me want to start rooting against them in some of their games. I don't want to do that, but if this keeps on, I may do that on a regular basis.

I absolutely agree.  I think Bob probably would've kicked the dude off the stage, personally.  Then again, I recall Bob putting up with Evan the 420 guy and the idiot who cheated in Flip Flop a couple seasons ago...

Show Scorecard:
Lineup: 7/10.
Drew: 8/10.  I can definitely say Cover Up is Drew's best game.
Contestants: 5/10.  If Kelly and a couple of the other hotties hadn't been called down, this would've been a big ol' goose egg.  Full explanation below in the "Final Comments" section.
Showcases: 6/10.  The party boat saved it.
Music Cues: 7/10.  Thank God for the classic cues used today.

Overall:
With music cue grade: D
Weighted and without music cue grade: D-

Final Comments:
Timothy ruined the whole show for me.  If a few of the contestants that were called down wouldn't have been called down, I would have given this show a straight-up F.  I'm still wondering what went through Stan's mind when he chose Timothy as a contestant.  Maybe everyone else was a paid sit-in or ineligible?  Something had to happen.  In a room of over 300 audience members, I'm willing to bet that there was someone better than Timothy.  Poor choice on Stan's part, IMHO.

At least I know that it can only go uphill from here.

Nice to see Cliffhangers back again. I was wondering where it had gone to. As well, nice use of classic cues today.

[Wayoshi]

Stan makes about 2-5 "mistakes" most of us agree on a year. There are over 1000 contestants every year. Most often they acted differently in the interview than they do on stage.

[Grammar-Nazi]

Nice to see Cliffhangers back again. I was wondering where it had gone to. As well, nice use of classic cues today.

What? It's played at least once a week, it seems.
