So far this week, we've had one win, 17 losses, and two straight skunkings. You can argue whatever you want about why they are or aren't doing such-and-such with the prizes, the budget, or the game setups...but ladies and gentlemen,
that's a problem.
There was a pretty blatant edit right after Rebecca got onstage.
Pocket ¢hange is more fun to watch when contestants have to explicitly state where the only remaining digit goes. You wouldn't think Drew doing it for them would take anything away, but it does. It's the same as having to say whether a number in Dice Game is higher or lower than 1.
We've been seeing one-prize games for more than one prize for a little over a week now, and I'm already fed up with it. Today we got Double Prices for a jukebox and freaking dance lessons. It just doesn't feel right.
I hate when they have Items up for Bids that are obviously only being offered so Drew can say something stupid about them. "It's really worth a look." Like Rich had ever been within ten feet of that table.
Push Over's setup was atrocious. The line should never have three of the same digit in a row, especially if either the second or third of them starts the actual retail price.
(And seriously...a dude ranch?)
I thought it was hilarious (although not in a good way) that Drew didn't even pretend to be interested in the PIR.com plug after Check-Out was lost and the show was skunked.
Maybe it's just me, but I still don't think that overhead shot of Monte Carlo is anywhere near as cool-looking as that big skin with the cards and the roulette wheel.
I think that even though Push Over was played for a trip, and an expensive one, the game was set up for a win in my opinion. There were only 2 prices that I think were right for that trip.
Sorry, but no. Push Over was at best a 50/50 crapshoot.
