I can't believe I sat through this entire show. In all seriousness, this may have been
the worst episode in the entire history of The Price Is Right. It was an utter debacle from beginning to end, without a single redeeming quality that I can think of. Drew acted like he was five years old and made it painfully obvious that no one in the studio has any control over him.
I can understand that it
should be interesting to have someone actually playing the electric guitars that they offer...but there was zero energy in the song with the first Item up for Bids.
I call shenanigans on Pick-a-Number. I don't believe that ten massages "at a spa of your choice" can have one specific price. Using that in a game where the price mattered made absolutely no sense; in fact, if Julian complained about it, he'd probably have a pretty good case for being awarded the prizes.
Pathfinder was, as usual, set up horribly. Five of the prices ended in 5 or 0, and the only one that didn't was a right answer. (...Isn't that exactly what happened the last time they played this?!) It's a miracle Andrew got as far as he did.
Oh, and speaking of Pathfinder, panini presses are about as funny as architect desks.
Hi Lo was...I don't even know how to describe it. Drew's done some goofy things, but I think destroying the groceries and spilling yogurt on one of the pricing games takes the cake. That was beyond stupid.
...and sadly, Switch? might have been worse. I'm not really sure what made Amber flip open that price when that clearly wasn't what Drew was saying, but that wasn't nearly as bad as Drew giving Alexandra the prizes
when we already knew she'd lost! There is no way that should have happened.
And speaking of Switch?, offering maid service in a pricing game was pretty strange.
And...um...well, Alexandra was pretty. I guess that was good.
In a way, I'm almost glad Roger doesn't work at the show anymore. I'd hate for his name to be associated with this garbage.
When has [a blooper win] ever actually been Drew's fault?
The time he screwed up Double Prices immediately comes to mind.
I'm mostly doing this today because I'm actually having fun with it:
This showcase contains prizes revealed as we look at American history. And it starts with you learning about the first capital of the United States...on your trip to beautiful Philadelphia!
(Insert Philadelphia plug.)
Next, see where Paul Revere yelled that the British were coming when you travel...to historic Boston!
(Insert Boston plug.)
Finally, go anywhere else in our great nation on your final prize, a true piece of Americana: This new Harley!
(Insert motorcycle plug.)
And this showcase, which we hope will go down in history as being won, can be yours if the price is right!
Julian, your showcase is all about having fun in the water, and it starts...with this new kayak!
(Insert kayak plug.)
But sometimes, you want someone to do this sailing for you. And that will be no problem when you leave...for your cruise of the Greek Isles!
(Insert cruise plug.)
Once in a while, though, you don't want to be in the boat at all. And when that happens, it's time to put someone else at the helm so you can ride along...behind your new ski boat!
(Insert ski boat plug.)
And Julian, this showcase, designed to help you have fun in the water, can be yours if the price is right!
