Disappointing Clock Game playing today, I thought she had a chance to win both prizes but just got mixed up while bidding.

[Kirsten Vaccaro]

I enjoyed today show it was great & Drew did a wonderful job as host.

I give today show a A.

[Roadgeek Adam]

From the top, I think Drew is beginning to give Bob's little suspense building a lot more use and its turning out well.

Clock Game: Don't say she did awful, but some room for desire. I'd give her a B for trying and getting 1 prize.

Side By Side: Too easy.

Grocery Game: .44 ouch. She should've gotten 1 less Oreo.

Swap Meet: Swamped easy.

Pocket Change: Gah if she said 4, whoops and clangs should be in order. Still a great playing and win.

Cliff Hangers: That was nailbiting.

Showcases: That damned Sanibel returns. Nuff' said.

Best Contestant: Our Pocket Change winner
Grade: A-

[joeyboy]

Well I guess Friday's opening was just a flub on Rich's part. That's disappointing.

I kinda laughed a little when Drew says he plays Clock Game really good.

Speaking of Clock Game, that was just played poorly.

If there's one quickie game that I don't mind seeing a slight increase in play, it's Side by Side.

Hey, Scott wasn't wearing a maroon shirt. It seems like every time he get's a little airtime, he's wearing the same shirt.

I never thought I'd be happy to see Swap Meet.

Drew's reveal in Pocket Change was just awesome!

[FPGWillyT]

Coupla notes from someone you thought you'd never hear comments like this from:

The last few days I've watched, and zeroing in on those that I did watch, Drew's one-bid reveals have gotten eons better.  He's  going straight from the last bid to "ARP.....$X" without pause or one-bid ridicule.

Also, he's getting the idea that it's not appropriate not to make fun of any one game or the process involved with the playing of the game. 

And I agree with all the comments posted above in that his hosting today of "Pocket Change" was fo-shizzle!  The reveal of the last envelope was quite awesome, he did a fairly good job of building up the tension on what would have been the most hearbreaking loss I would have seen since the 3X playing from Bob's last Christmas week.

Now if I or we can only convince him that using "IUFB" instead of "PUFB" is better...

WTG Drew...you're turning me around.

Perhaps these changes for the better are a result of that survey they announced a few months ago? If so, I approve. 

[heelsrule1988]

Pocket Change was loads of fun to watch. An epic playing, a near monumental choke, and Drew with the great reveal.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Betty Olivia
SHOW GRADE: 3

[Wayoshi]

I don't see how the contestant could have choked with just pure luck.

[ClassicG]

@jayaca: Don't forget the El Skunko back in March.

Now if I or we can only convince him that using "IUFB" instead of "PUFB" is better...

Will not likely happen. If they call it an "item up for bid" again, then the bidding segment becomes nothing more than a qualification round.

[Macsen]

My recap.

I agree on Clock Game. She had the idea, but little mistakes and slight mental errors cost her. Oh well...at least I don't have to guess on the price of the TV this time for the recap.

That playing of PC was a bit too harrowing. She missed just one digit once, and still almost lost.

Will not likely happen. If they call it an "item up for bid" again, then the bidding segment becomes nothing more than a qualification round.

Two things:

1. Despite what the current staff may think, the One-Bid is just a qualification round.
2. In the prize copy, Rich still says, "Here comes the lovely ___ with the next item up for bids," and today, even Drew referred to "the first item up for bids."

[Cartboy]

Clock Game:  Not the best playing, but I've seen far worse.
Grocery Game:  Rats!
Pocket Change:  I thought for sure Katherine was gonna win without making a mistake!  Exciting win nonetheless, and a great reveal of the last envelope by Drew, too!
Cliff Hangers:  It got a little scary at the end, but still a pretty good win.

Pretty good overall, IMHO.

It's also not too often the SD that sees 55 cents hold up.

[JokerFan]

What is SD?
