Feels good to be back recapping an episode...
And so ends the fustercluck known as Season 37. With Roger gone, I went into the season with cautious optimism, but then came the first Drewcases and things got worse with games not getting played, the green screens, and senseless humor between Drew and Rich as well as a dreadful hosting job on what was probably the most exciting win ever in the show's history, the perfect showcase bid. Things did get better during Christmas week and the showcases were written better, games got dusted off. There were a few bumps in the road like Jack Wagner and the strange themed shows like the engaged couples' one. I saw the clips of Season 38's premiere on YouTube and things are a little bit better than what we saw this year, in my opinion, and with the advent of priceisright.com and Drew's twitter page, hopefully the show can re-establish a connection with the fans since Bob left or when Roger was fired.
Marcia and Ginger were the best contestants of the day by a mile. I loved how enthusiastic Marcia was and how she celebrated when she won the truck, after a near-unanimous audience shouting "21!" at her. Ginger had great interactions with Drew and it was great that she won Pick-a-Pair and $1,000 on the wheel.
I heard in chat today that they changed something with One Wrong Price's backdrops, I think I saw it briefly, they put some lights in some parts to illuminate them.
One has to wonder if More or Less was set up the way it was so that they could get those prizes out of the warehouse as quickly as possible.
It seems kind of fitting that the last bid to ever be given on the sportstype displays be $1 and for it to be the last winning bid on those displays.
This was taped before we caught wind of the new home base, so I wonder if Drew's pound at the turntable was meant to be a shout-out to us fans about what was in store for the next season.
I couldn't hear the TV very well from where I was watching the show, but did Drew acknowledge the fact that it was the last show of his second year as host? Like he did with his first year as host on the Season 36 finale?
Well, I can't wait to tune in on Monday for Season 38! New home base, LCD displays, and reportedly, a new light border!
The first time I've ever heard of a Prius 2. Most be more on the expensive side. Also, even with the $3k I thought the trips woudl be on the expensive side, but I guess not.
Techincally, it should be called the Prius 3 since this is the third generation of the car, but the second take on the more familiar look that debuted for 2004, but I digress. Actually, Toyota is using Roman numerals to denote the trim levels of the 2010 Prius, starting with the base model (I) through the top-of-the-line V. The 2010 Prius I, however, won't hit showrooms until October.
