the problem is that they seem to pick country stars that save for Reba never worked in television or stage/theatre or film and they look...and sound like deer in headlights....now put a Loretta Lynn or a Garth Brooks who know what the words get on with it means...and yeah,that end bit...non sensical...dump it.

Not that I was aware of.  All we had were a bunch of technical fails resulting in a few stopdowns during the show itself, which caused us to run overtime.

I support The Price is Right...even if nobody I know likes Drew Carey.

Yeah. Its called managers and age. Loretta Lynn's getting up there in age, and unfortunately, save plastic surgery, she ain't gettin' much younger. It is rather stupid to see people I've never heard of. Maybe get Brad Paisley or Kenny Chesney if we need young.

Why not Rascal Flatts? They were just recently on CSI.

Made a minor change to my recap. Used a BG shade recommended by pennyante, and changed "Half-Off" to "½ Off".

Kitch, I have to say, it really is a shame you're not applying for the recap guide job, because these recaps you've been posting are really fantastic.

I find it ironic how the show tries to mix up the prizes and offer "cool" things like over-stuffed trips and impossible to price items to make the show less "predictable." Yet, the same things happen every single time a show airs.

I agree.  I understand why you can't do it, but it's really a shame.

Superb 1/2 Off win!  :P

Nice Money Game win, after a rough start.  :-)

Too many trips (especially in the showcases today and in recent days)!

 You must not listen to country often cause Blake Shelton has been around for some time, like 7 or 8 years.

I thought the last Half Off win, with 8 boxes left in play, was amazing. This one was unbelievable.

I didn't think the three prizes were overly difficult. Just unlucky playing.

Switch was kind of obvious, as was Gas Money. Both could have been won.

Celebrities should only be used in the showcases, and only occasionally.

And the SCSDs were definitely edited down. You could hear the wheel beeps change speed too quickly.

About that amazing 1/2 Off win: I thought the only SP combo that was necessarily set up as a forced miss was the camera/clock combo.  Even I didn't see the $45 price tag on that camera coming--and still, you have to wonder what kind of picture quality you'll get out of a $45 camera!  Blake Shelton did a good job of picking the box up and putting it on the table without revealing the contents.  I have to admit that I jumped out of my chair with excitement when she opened the box and found the money! 

I'm almost compelled to say this tops the MDS a couple years ago where the contestant "picked" his box out of the 16 in the beginning of the game, the box turned out to be the one with the money at the end of the game, and he would have won even if he hadn't got any of the SP's right.

You must not listen to country often cause Blake Shelton has been around for some time, like 7 or 8 years.

I don't think it was Blake Shelton he was talking about.  I think it was Bomshel.  Even I had to do a double-take when I heard that.  I remember saying, "bomb who?"  I've listened to country music for 20 years and keep up with all the new acts in-between enjoying the classics, and I've honestly never heard of them.  Pun intended.

Maybe it's just that none of the 3 country stations I get here in Indianapolis plays them.  Maybe Muzak's Country Music One and Nashville USA channels don't have them in the rotation--which I highly doubt, since a lot of stuff Muzak plays is indie/obscure/rare music.  Maybe I've heard them and never gave it a passing thought as to who I was listening to, but until Friday, I had never heard of Bomshel.  I think it was fine that they had them on, if only for promotion.  It helps people discover new music.

the problem is that they seem to pick country stars that save for Reba never worked in television or stage/theatre or film and they look...and sound like deer in headlights....

I absolutely agree with this, but I see this from the perspective of the show.  Since they are professional performers, the show operates on the pretense that since they sing well in front of crowds/lights/cameras, they should be able to speak well in front of crowds/lights/cameras, as well.  If it comes down to someone behind-the-scenes being wrong with that, then they chalk it up as a mistake and do better next time.

...put a Loretta Lynn or a Garth Brooks who know what the words get on with it means...

As for your Loretta point, I think Connie Smith would be a fair compromise, although not realistic due to the show wanting to hit their numbers in younger demographics.  Connie's just a tad younger than Loretta and has proven she is an excellent speaker.  Of course, you'd have to get her away from Marty Stuart and his show first! :lol:

If the show's perspective is that someone will be able to read copy correctly because they can sing well, the show needs a new pair of glasses.
