Here's some quotes, and thoughts, boy, I have a lot to say after reading this.
I auditioned for the show you know.
Is this true? Wasn't part of Drew's contract that he would
not audition, due to his hosting on
Power of 10? Strikes me as odd.
The staff comes in with... well thought-out themed showcases...
Again, huh? I though Drew made the vast majority, if not all, of these Showcases. Drew will obviously support his own product, but, Drew's choice of words gives me a chuckle. Especially with the Drewbacles that happened earlier this year. A very few, select showcases have been "well thought-out themed" this year, personally.
On the Vegas trip, I agree with Drew, in that I like nice trips (more than you would expect), but, they shouldn't be the main prize in the showcase. Then, Drew says some neat stuff.
...a Skyloft Suite at the MGM (where only rich guys like me stay). I'd never lusted after a showcase before EVER. But since the staff has been working this way I've lusted after most of them. The staff picks GREAT prizes nowadays.
What a snobbish comment about the suite. Seriously. I have zero problem with mentioning that the room was a Skyloft Suite, but the ensuing comment is downright rude, and unclassy.
Drew never lustered after a showcase, before that, eh? No wonder Drew seems so bored, most of the time. Even then, Drew goes on and says "most" after the said point. It should be all. This goes back to Drew's biggest hosting issue: he believes it is about himself, not the contestants.
I thought Drew, for the most part, picked the prizes these days, no? Given how much Drew was making fun of prizes on the show, he was basically given this right. I have no inside info to back this up, however, and, in all likelyhood, is a bad assumption. Then, finally, he makes fun of the Howard Miller-type companies, of the grandfather clocks, sort of. Enough. On a game show, you treat prizes like you would people. If you have nothing but, insults to say, say nothing at all. So I don't call the kettle black, I'll say that is very nice of Drew to give us photos for next season (hopefully!) sometime today, and the blogs are nice, and somewhat resourceful.
