First, blue was lucky with our first two contestants coming off that podium. Then, the luck passed to green, with the next three contestants coming from there. This means the contestants on red and orange, Breeanna and Heather respectively, are about to plumb run out of luck. Heather didn't help herself by bidding $4 lower on one bid than a contestant before her. Now one of them, or maybe both, are about to be condemned to the First Four Midday Revue. Mimi, no doubt, is jumping up and down crazily. She's been very busy this week. And so has that skunk singing Chevalier been busy as well all season long. Doesn't this guy get laryngitis? Or at least run out of stink?

Show Results: 1 out of 6 Total Winnings: $50,773 THIS RECAP IS THE PRODUCED SOLELY FOR GOLDEN-ROAD.NET UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION OR EXHIBITION IS PROHIBITED PRODUCED BY KITCH

Nomenclature shift, and dded some color. Also, for whatever reason, I had the wrong production number.

[MrRoc]

Well, today's show was semi-better...thank God for that Spree win.

[GR WHAMMY]

Speaking of spree, Drew went all over the stage before stopping by door 2

[AussieEvil]

I have a feeling that AF guy'll have "conduct unbecoming" on his record now...

[Off_trak]

I sort of found it interesting that the producers found it necessary to re-tape a small segment where once Drew stated "That's one hell of a car", to "...heck of a car", yet they decided to leave in his ass being groped directly in view of the camera today. I guess that TV G rating allows ass grabs on camera... 

[Mallory16]

Ah, yeah... that was kinda' cool, seeing Drew going all around the stage after he'd gotten a bit lost as to where he was supposed to go, exactly, for Shopping Spree.  Whenever Bob did that, they'd just kinda' magically "appear" in the right spot later on.  I thought this was pretty neat, at least.

None of the games were really that hard today, were they?  How does a show where Money Game is the hardest game played wind up as only a 1-out-of-6er, anyway?

[elskunkoman]

Plinko - Well you were supposed to put the chips in the middle slot which you didn't. 
Money Game - Are you stupid or what?!  What part of avoid the end in 5 or 0 do you not get for the last digit?!
2 for 1 - Another easy setup loss 
Squeeze Play - This one was quite tough How could a prize have 2 pairs of the same digits.   
Pass the buck - Too bad 
Shopping Spree - Nice Comeback to save us from Le Pew  and easy too.
Showcases another pair of cheap showcases today and one overbid.

[Off_trak]

Plinko - Well you were supposed to put the chips in the middle slot which you didn't. 
 

No, you're suppose to hope the chips fall into the middle slot. He played the game very well, otherwise.

[tpirfan28]

Don't remember exactly which bidding round it was (the fifth?) - the models as mannequins was absolutely great.  I wouldn't mind that being a semi-regular part of the program for the "look of the week" thing.

[WooWho]

Yes, my gosh, that was great.  For a minute I thought the Art Department made mannequins that just happened to look like the models...boy, was I surprised when they "came to life"!  I nearly fell out of my seat.

And I thought Drew "getting lost" was hilarious...I only caught from SCSD1 and on, but he seemed like he was on top of his game today.

[heelsrule1988]

The whole thing with Drew and Travis was pretty funny, but it's not something that should be on TPIR. This is still supposed to be a family show, which is suggested by the TV-G rating.

Thanks for recommending my state, Drew!

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Isaac
SHOW GRADE: 3

[EyeMobileScott]

Now THAT'S how designer clothes should be modeled on the show. (I've covered enough fashion weeks here & abroad to know--in fact, I'm probably going to suggest to whatever designers I interview next NYFW "Hey, if you really want to be creative, I saw this thing on The Price Is Right" once...)

I dunno if this was new as of this episode, but it was the first time I noticed: Money Game's dollar sign & F/B car reveals look like they've been redone. Previously you could tell if there was a $ or a part of the car behind the selected number before it was fully revealed just by the shade of pink. Whether or not this was done out of HD necessity or because a differently-shaped vehicle was the offered prize, it sure put the suspense back in the slow reveals.

[leafsfan17]

This week has been filled with nothing but terrible shows. Thank god for the Spree win or we would have had El Skunko yet again!

[Mario_75]

This week has been filled with nothing but terrible shows. Thank god for the Spree win or we would have had El Skunko yet again!

This show didn't end in a double overbid.

[Macsen]

My recap. All hail Olivia!
