FULL RECAP - TPiR 03/17/2010 (DSW #1)

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Range Game for two prizes again? At least it a pair of the same prize.

A pair of dirt bikes/motorcycles used to be a somewhat common prize for one-prize games.  No one ever complained before, so I'm assuming it's just not very noteworthy.

First off, I was a little pissed because niether Any Number nor Temptation made their big appearences today (or this week) but I was glad to see my all-time favorite game, and a  . Bonus Game and Clock Game looked a little different today. I think most of us noticed Clock Game's asterisks on the green, but Bonus Game's black area around the arrows looked somewhat reddish today. I don't know if that was a paint job or maybe just a reflection.

As an aside complaint, EVERY SINGLE SPRING BREAK, one of the only times I get off from school to watch TPIR, only 3 episodes are aired on the week. I don't care about reruns.

Yup. Stand mixers are über expensive. My wife keeps bugging me to buy her one everytime she sees one. It isn't just a hand mixer !!

I never would have guessed. I need to go shopping more often.

I don't if this was part of it, but the upper portion of the turntable where the flashing squares are wasn't well-lit for some reason.

[Scorpz]

All of the small prizes offered in Bonus Game were also green in colour.

The dinnerware in Clock Game also had a green pattern (but that probably wasn't intentional).

Not sure how Lucky $even fits in with the green theme, though.

Lucky

There you go!

[444dd]

Lucky 7 fit's the green theme beacuse it's played behind the "green" door
I like how Drew built up the suspence at the showcase and great 

[Briguy]

I wonder if so many green games were played today on purpose...Pick-a-Number, Range Game, and Pass the Buck are all awash in it, and Clock Game used to be green.

So what's your point? FWIW, I was surprised that Golden Road (for the "pot at the end of the rainbow," something tied to leprechauns) wasn't played today. Oh, well.

I don't know what the hell Rich was trying to sound like in the second showcase, but it sure as hell wasn't an Irishman.  Actually, it sounded more like a bad imitation of someone from the Middle East.

Your opinion only. I actually thought Rich was quite good (at least when I first heard it).

I spose you're right Army. I remember seeing pairs of the same prize every so often for one-prize games. I guess I got used to seeing multiple different prizes being played for.

[GR WHAMMY]

I don't if this was part of it, but the upper portion of the turntable where the flashing squares are wasn't well-lit for some reason.

perhaps it's due to the shadow of the doorframe

[catdogwheel]

But still it was a lot darker than usual.

Yeah, that's not really a problem...when they're the same prize, all you have to do to figure out the price of both of them is figure out the price of one of them.

[SteveGavazzi]

So what's your point?

Please tell me you're joking.

St. Patrick's Day, dude.

$even lucky green dollar bills! 

I'm surprised Grand Game wasn't played, with its green set as well as lots of greenback being offered.
