Atinale el Precio 2010

[dh027]

I'm not sure how long they will be up, but if you search "Atinale al Precio" on youtube, October 15th and 18th's shows are there.

Whoa...the sixth game on October 15 has a moment where Marco is absolutely channeling Barker.

[WooWho]

Funny moment on the 10/18 show: even though a player lost "Vamos a Mitas" (Half Off), the box still had some bills in it that someone forgot to clean out.  So she got however much money was actually in the box (I'm watching the show now, and am not sure how much was actually there).

The October 20th show is up, featuring an excellent playing of 3 Strikes in the second half.  These apparently were posted by the official "Canal de las Estrellas", so I wouldn't count on them going anywhere (knocks on wood).

Unfortunately, a quick look at their channel says that they're only going to be posting three programs, passing up Atínale for 100 Mexicanos Dijeron (with a rather irritating host).  That's not to say they won't change their mind if we ask them, though...

Some of these foreign versions make me wonder if the US version should tweak some of their games based on the gameplay. For instance, I've never seen a four-digit safe before on Safe Crackers, but the element of a second chance was just unexpected. In reality, since you are given the first number for free, really makes this game almost a shoe-in to win, especially if there is a 0. It would be more fair to either get the first number free but no second chance, or to use all four numbers, but get a second chance.

Having the tens digit on all prizes in Switcheroo with three 3-digit prizes takes away the pricing element of the game, and really just makes it a crapshoot there. That's something to watch out for.

Mexican currency/prices are completely different than our, thus making some of their game very similar.

I Predict that there will be a mexican version of Pay The Rent, Rat Race and Gas Money to Atinale al Precio which will takes place soon.

^Atínale already has a version of Gas Money called "Tanque Lleno" (Full Tank).  The cards carry MX$4,000, 6K, 10K, and 15K for a total of 35K pesos (so that you'll always have a full tank, says Señor Regil).  It was almost won once, but the contestant bailed before the final card (and, as it turns out, he had the car all along).

Speaking of Atínale, the 10/22 show is up, with a spectacular playing of "Uno arriba, uno abajo" (One Away).

I wonder if Atinale's "records" are any more accurate than Price's are.

[WooWho]

^Well, Marco's got less history to work from...he only has to consider the original Atínale (1997-2001) and the new one since April of this year, as opposed to Barker's 35 years.  That being said, having never seen a full show of the original Atínale, I'm not sure how accurate they really are.

I'm sorry... Was it just my imagination, or does Dijeron open their show with a censored image of their host sitting on a toilet? Surely I'm mistaken.

I just can't get enough of Marco yelling "iSÍ SEÑOR!".

[WooWho]

^It's not your imagination, that's true.  And the show's name is actually Dijieron, which (as per Marco himself) is kinda...I dunno, low--in other words, "dijeron" is the proper word, but "dijieron" is considered sub-standard Spanish.  Apparently it fits into the whole scheme of El Vítor's character...I don't remember exactly what Marco told me, though.
